SSE Renewables will merge the two proposed offshore wind farm projects into a 4,100 MW development project. The Berwick Bank and Marr Bank offshore wind farms on the east coast of Scotland have been merged into one wind farm, which is now called Berwick Bank Wind Farm.

The potential output of the Berwick Bank wind farm is 4.1GW, and the scale of offshore wind power currently being constructed or operated in Scotland will more than double. SSE Renewables said this will also increase the country's overall renewable energy production capacity by nearly 30%.

Alex Meredith, project director of Berwick Bank at SSE Renewables, said: "By merging two project proposals into one super project, we believe we can deliver the Berwick Bank wind farm faster, one of the largest offshore wind turbines in the world." Berwick The Bank wind farm is in the late stages of development and is expected to submit a planning application to the Scottish government in the spring of 2022.

If approved and approved for construction, it can start producing clean electricity in the second half of this decade and help Scotland achieve its near-term net zero goal of generating up to 11GW of new offshore wind power by 2030. Net-Zero and Climate Change Cabinet Secretary Michael Matheson said: "Decarbonizing our energy needs is an important part of our transition to net-zero, and our world's leading renewable energy sector will play an important role in this regard."

The continued growth of offshore wind power over the next decade is critical to achieving our incredible long-term climate goals, and we need to achieve this goal in innovative ways, rhythm and agility. "I welcome this statement from SSE Renewables, which demonstrates their commitment to helping Scotland contribute to climate change in a generation."Editor/Baohongying
