SSE Renewables

We are a world-leading developer, operator and owner of offshore wind energy and, in 2023, we celebrated 20 Years of Offshore Wind delivery.

Since we first embarked into offshore wind two decades ago with our first co-development, the 25MW Arklow Bank project in the Irish Sea, we have grown to become a world-leader in offshore wind.

In the 20 years since, we have contributed to the development and delivery of over 2.5GW of installed offshore wind farms already operating in UK and Irish waters, including the 0.5GW Greater Gabbard, the 0.6GW Beatrice and the 1.1GW Seagreen offshore wind joint venture sites which we operate daily on behalf of our asset partners.

Seagreen is now Scotland’s largest and the world’s deepest fixed bottom offshore wind farm.

Development Projects:

Ossian: Ossian is a joint venture between SSE Renewables, Marubeni Corporation and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP). Following the success in the ScotWind leasing round, the project team are progressing with the development of 858 square kilometres of seabed in the Firth of Forth off the Angus Coast - one of the largest lease areas to be offered by Crown Estate Scotland to any bidder. With a capacity of up to 3.6GW, Ossian will be one of the largest floating offshore wind farms globally. Once complete, Ossian could produce enough energy to power up to 6 million homes annually and offset up to 7.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions every year.

Berwick Bank:  Located in the North Sea, in the outer Firth of Forth, Berwick Bank Offshore has the potential to deliver up to 4.1 GW of installed capacity, making it one of the largest offshore opportunities in the world.

The project will be capable of generating enough clean, renewable energy to power over six million homes, the equivalent to all of Scotland’s households twice over. It could avoid eight million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year – similar to removing all of Scotland’s annual car emissions. The Project has secured two connection points to the UK electricity grid. One in East Lothian and another in the Blyth area of Northumberland.

North Falls Offshore Wind Farm: North Falls Offshore Wind Farm, a joint venture between SSE Renewables and RWE, is being developed on a 95km2 site located between 42km and 54km offshore in the southern North Sea, adjacent to its sister project Greater Gabbard. It will comprise up to 57 turbines each standing up to 377m tall. North Falls is planned to be operational by the end of the decade, thereby playing a key role in the UK Government’s ambitions to achieve 50GW of installed offshore wind capacity by 2030.

Its final capacity will be no less than its sister project Greater Gabbard (504MW), which generates enough power to supply the annual electricity needs of approximately 400,000 UK homes.

Seagreen 1A: The Seagreen1A project is the second phase of Seagreen (Scotland's largest operational offshore wind farm). It is located around 27km off the Angus coastline and 66km from the East Lothian coastline and continues the joint venture between SSE Renewables and TotalEnergies. Seagreen1A is set to add a further (up to) 36 turbines to the Seagreen site and will develop the appropriate connections to the onshore connection point at Cockenzie, in East Lothian. It is set to have capacity of up to 500MW and will support UK and Scottish net-zero targets.
