The project has also received its first shipment of XXL monopile foundations at the Port of Leith, ahead of the start of foundation and jacket installation next year.
At Montrose Port, work is underway on the project’s operations and maintenance base, which will support the wind farm during its 25-year operational life.
The onshore substation at the former Cockenzie power-station site continues to progress toward completion in 2026.
The 1.1 GW Inch Cape will comprise 72 Vestas V236-15 MW turbines. Once fully operational, the wind farm is expected to generate about 5 terawatt-hours of electricity annually, enough to power around half of Scotland’s homes.
First power is targeted for late 2026, with full commercial operations scheduled the following year.
Inch Cape is owned by a 50/50 joint venture between ESB and Red Rock Renewables.
