  • The 50MW floating wind plant is the largest in the world.
  • The park will provide about 218GWh.

Spanish group ACS has completed 50MW Kincardine floating offshore wind farm off the coast of Aberdeen, Scotland. The park, located 15 km (9 miles) off the coast, comprises five V164 9.5 MW turbines plus one V80-2.0 MW machine supplied by Vestas. The turbines are installed at water depths of between 60 metres (197 ft) and 80 metres.
