Vattenfall Applies to Extend Life of Aberdeen Offshore Wind Farm

Vattenfall is applying to the Scottish Government to extend the operational lease for the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre in Aberdeen Bay from 22 years to 25 years.

Kevin Metcalfe, Vattenfall’s Project Director, said: “We have submitted to Marine Scotland an application to prolong the lease of the innovative European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre from 22-years to 25-years. If approved by Marine Scotland and Crown Estate Scotland, the longer operating life of the wind farm will deliver a boost to local jobs, businesses and the generation of more fossil free electricity.” 

The European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC) is also known as Aberdeen Offshore Wind Farm and started operations in 2018. The application aims to bring the operational lease in line with the  design-life of wind farm components and safely operate the offshore wind test and demonstration site for an additional three years. This period excludes the time needed to decommission the wind farm.
