Offshore wind farm

Robin Rigg

Site Statistics

Robin Rigg

Location Solway Firth
Project scope 60 turbines
Turbine height approximately 126m to blade tip
Total power 180MW

We acquired the Robin Rigg project in the autumn in 2003 and, since then, we have been working hard to start construction work. We have now placed all of the major construction contracts, work onshore has already started and we expect to start offshore in the summer.

The wind farm will be one of the largest schemes in the UK.When complete, Robin Rigg will generate enough energy to power nearly 120,000 homes.

By generating clean renewable energy, the wind farm will also displace the emission of 235,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide, which will play a significant role in helping the Government meet its renewable energy targets.
