Green Volt Offshore Wind Farm

Green Volt floating offshore windfarm once operational, will save one million tonnes of CO₂ each year, making a significant impact on both the UK and Scotland’s respective net zero targets. The Green Volt floating offshore windfarm will deliver renewable energy generation in deeper ocean waters, where typically wind speeds are higher and more consistent. Rather than turbines being fixed on structures that penetrate the seabed, floating developments deploy turbines mounted on floating substructures that are held in position by mooring lines. The floating turbines then simply connect to a cable that runs under the sea to a substation on land, before transferring the clean energy to the electricity grid.
