WSP, one of the UK’s leading engineering and environmental professional services consultancies, is to assess the environmental impact of the proposed MarramWind offshore floating windfarm secured as part of the ScotWind leasing process in Scotland on behalf of ScottishPower Renewables.

MarramWind has submitted the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Scoping Report for the proposed MarramWind project to Marine Scotland and Aberdeenshire Council – the respective planning authorities for the offshore and onshore elements of the proposed project.

Politicians, community organisations, landowners, fisheries representatives, council officials and members of the local community have attended the first public event for the proposed MarramWind floating offshore windfarm.

Communities across the UK and Ireland have benefitted from over £60 million of funding thanks to ScottishPower Renewables windfarms.

ScottishPower Renewables’ Whitelee Windfarm has been presented with an international Green Flag Award for a third consecutive year. It’s the only windfarm to receive the accolade, which recognises spaces that meet the needs of the communities they serve.

Supply chain businesses from across Scotland packed a special ‘Meet the Buyer’ event in Argyll to hear about the opportunities that could be available thanks to ScottishPower Renewables’ planned MachairWind offshore windfarm.
