The Inch Cape offshore wind farm, with a capacity of 1.1 gigawatts and located 15 to 22 kilometers off the Angus coastline, is under construction at the Port of Leith. The project involves the installation of transition pieces, jackets, and monopiles; the latter measuring up to 102 meters and weighing around 2,300 tonnes.
Approximately £4.7 billion of the total investment is expected to be spent in the UK, with £2.7 billion allocated to Scotland. The transition pieces were fabricated in China, and installation is being conducted by marine contractor Seaway7. The project is projected to be completed by the end of the year, with ongoing upgrades to port infrastructure to accommodate future offshore wind projects.
