The joint venture between TotalEnergies (38.25%) (Paris:TTE)
(LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE), Macquarie's Green Investment Group (GIG)
(46.75%) and RIDG (15%), a scottish developer in offshore wind,
successfully secured rights in the N1 area to develop a 2 GW
offshore windfarm project in the ScotWind leasing round. The West
of Orkney Windfarm will be located 30km off the west coast of
Orkney in Scotland.
This project, which aims to start producing renewable power by
2030, represents potentially more than GBPGBP4 billion of
investment.
As part of this development, the partners will unlock a GBP140m
initiative to support the development of the local supply chain,
including the enhancement of ports and harbor infrastructure in
Orkney and Caithness. This will ensure high levels of local content
and actively promote employment and innovation in the region.
The consortium has already undertaken extensive site
investigations, especially in relation to the environment, to
ensure that the project fully meets its sustainable development
objectives. The consortium has also finalized a grid connection
agreement with National Grid.
Once built, the windfarm could also deliver renewable power to
the Flotta Hydrogen Hub, a proposed large-scale green hydrogen
production facility in Orkney.
Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies said: "We
are very proud to have been awarded by Crown Estate Scotland the
leasing rights to develop this offshore wind farm, TotalEnergies'
largest renewables project in Europe to date. This project, which
will complement our traditional activities in Scotland, is a
perfect example of the transformation of our Company. We will
provide all our resources from our new UK Offshore Wind Hub in
Aberdeen, which will draw on the expertise and supply chain of our
oil and gas activities and on Scottish industry, all in close
collaboration with the local communities. This project further
demonstrates our commitment to the sustainable development of
offshore wind and will contribute to our goal of reaching 100 GW of
renewable generation capacity by 2030."
The West of Orkney Windfarm is the fourth major offshore wind
project that TotalEnergies has embarked on in the UK since 2020.
The Company now has interests in projects with around 5 GW of
potential capacity under development and construction in the UK.
These projects will come on stream between 2023 and 2030.
Mark Dooley, Global Head of GIG, said: "We have been a long-term
investor in the UK offshore wind sector, with an established
Scottish footprint -- and we are delighted that our commitment to
these markets has been recognized. We believe this option agreement
will be truly transformational for the wider Scottish economy,
unlocking new ways to accelerate the transition to Net Zero and
creating hundreds of green jobs. We look forward to working with
our stakeholders and all the winning bidders to seize this new
opportunity for Scotland."
To date, Macquarie and GIG have supported more than half of UK
offshore wind generation capacity in operation. GIG has invested in
over 30 green energy projects in Scotland, supporting hundreds of
sustainable Scottish jobs.
Mike Hay, RIDG Director, said: "It's fantastic that Crown Estate
Scotland share our vision for the West of Orkney Windfarm, a
project that has been designed specifically around this location to
benefit local communities, transition Scottish workers from oil and
gas into renewables, and to act as a catalyst for supply chain
growth. Since submitting our bid we have continued to advance
development and supply chain activities to ensure that we deliver
on the objectives set out within it, and to maximize the economic
opportunity from the expansion of offshore wind and green hydrogen
in Scotland."
