Neart na Gaoithe (NnG) Offshore Wind Farm has reached commercial operations
We’re pleased to announce that the 54-turbine project, jointly owned by EDF power solutions UK and Ireland and ESB has gone live and is now generating clean, renewable power!
The 15-year Contract for Difference (CfD) PPA that EDF signed to buy the power from NnG complements the Contract for Difference that NnG has with the UK Government, and will secure stable, inflation-linked pricing for the green energy it will produce.
Located 15.5 km off the coast of Fife, NnG will generate up to 448 MW of renewable energy – enough to power around 375,000 homes and offset over 400,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually.
This is a significant step forward in supporting Britain’s journey toward net zero and a huge achievement for everyone involved!
