MachairWind, located Northwest of Islay and West of Colonsay, will be SPR’s first offshore windfarm of its kind in Scottish waters. MachairWind’s offshore turbines will export their green electricity to the grid by a subsea cable that will connect to a substation in the vicinity of Girvan, South Ayrshire.

MachairWind submits its consent applications for the Windfarm Development Area (WDA) in 2026; it is anticipated a decision will be made by Scottish Government in 2027. MachairWind will continue to engage with stakeholders, communities, and potential supply chain partners over the coming months and years.
