Salamander Offshore Wind Farm

A joint venture partnership between Simply Blue Energy, Odfjell Oceanwind & Seaway7, the development aims to be a stepping stone to help Scotland and the UK to progress towards a net-zero future.

With a proposed 100 MW floating wind farm combined with 100 MW onshore battery, the Salamander project, the offshore elements of which are located off Peterhead in the North East of Scotland, is awaiting consent.

The Salamander Offshore Wind Farm has a strong focus on floating supply chain development and will provide an opportunity for the local supply chain to gear up for commercial scale opportunities in Scotland, as well as de-risking floating wind technologies and integration with battery storage systems to solve wider challenges such as grid balancing and co-located generation for future commercial projects in Scotland and beyond.

This will allow Scotland to maximise the financial benefit of its strong offshore wind resource and generate long term jobs for its local communities. The Salamander Offshore Wind Farm will contribute to the Scottish government’s target of 11 GW of installed offshore wind by 2030, as well as the UK government’s target of 5 GW of operational floating offshore wind by the same date.
