A joint venture between TotalEnergies and its partner SSE Renewables announced that the Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm is fully operational and running at a capacity of 1075 MW. The total estimated project cost is around USD 4 billion. Total Energies has a 51% stake while SSE Renewables has a 49% stake in the project. Sea Green is set to become the biggest wind farm in Scotland and the world's deepest fixed-bottom offshore wind farm, upon completion. The project is located in the North Sea 27km off the coast of Angus, Scotland The project covers an area of approximately 2,850 square km. The project is Total Energy's biggest operational offshore wind farm.

The project started its construction in 2020 and has been completed in around 3 years, the offshore wind farm is expected to generate over 5 TWh of electricity which will power over 1.6 million homes annually. Seagreen wind farm project will also prevent the emission of over 2 million tons of CO2 from fossil fuel generation every year.

“I am very pleased to see Sea Green generating at full power making it our largest offshore wind project worldwide,” Total Energies CEO  Patrick Pouyanne said. “It will help us reach the target of reaching more than 100 TWh of power generation by 2030,” he added.

Recently, SSE started its operations of Dogger Bank Phase 1 which is the largest offshore wind farm in the world.

About the Seagreen Project

The Seagreen offshore wind farm project started its development in 2010 onwards when it received development rights from the crown estate. The Scottish government granted consent for the development of phase one of the wind farm in October 2014. SSE Renewables took a 50% stake in the project by September 2018. The Final investment decision (FID) for the wind farm was announced in June 2020. The installation of the deepest fixed bottom jacket/foundations at a water depth of 58 meters was completed in April 2023. The Seagreen project has a total of 150 turbines installed and operational.
