Texas-based Marine Robotics Company- Ocean Infinity has been roped in by FEA (Floating Energy Allyance) - a consortium developing the Buchan Offshore Floating Wind Farm on the northeast coast of Scotland.

Background of the Buchan Offshore Floating Wind Farm

The 1 GW offshore wind farm, with an estimated project value of GBP 1.25 billion (USD 1.5 billion), is one of the largest offshore wind projects undertaken by Scotland in over a decade. The project is a firm initiative by Scotland to adopt clean energy and reduce about 50% of carbon emissions by 2045.

The project was leased under the flagship ScotWind round to Floating Energy Allyance - a consortium of BayWa r.e, BW Ideol, and Elicio. To elucidate, ScotWind is a Scottish government-led leasing round for offshore wind energy projects in Scottish waters. The ScotWind leasing round is designed to attract developers to build and operate new offshore wind farms in Scottish waters. The leasing round was launched in June 2020.

Current Status

Currently, the project is in the initial geophysical and geotechnical site investigation phase. For this purpose, the project owner FEA has appointed 

• Natural Power, a leading renewable energy consultancy and service provider, for the environmental impact assessment
• Partrac Ltd., a geotechnical engineering consulting firm for geotechnical surveys through its Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) system
• Ocean Infinity, a marine robotics company, for geophysical and geotechnical site investigation.
