The Ayre floating offshore wind farm has received permission from the Highland Council to begin onshore works, which include a cable landfall at Sinclair's Bay and underground cables to a new substation adjacent to the Banniskirk Hub near Spittal. This 1GW project aims to deploy up to 67 floating wind turbines in waters east of Orkney and north-east of Caithness, each with a maximum blade tip height of 356m and a rotor diameter of 326m.
