Beatrice Offshore Windfarm

Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Ltd (BOWL) is the partnership formed between SSE Renewables, Repsol Nuevas Energias UK and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. The site is located in the Outer Moray Firth on the north-western point of the Smith Bank, 13.5 km from the Caithness coastline. The development, once fully constructed and operational, could provide energy equivalent to the needs of approximately 477,610 homes. More information about the project can be found here.

We are currently in the process of migrating content from an older website, however, copies of documentation associated with Beatrice Offshore Windfarm, including copies of consents, marine licences and post-consent plans can be found here in the interim.  Any new documentation related to Beatrice Offshore Windfarm published or received after August 2018 will be uploaded to this website only.
