2GW West of Orkney wind project approved

Yet more offshore Scottish wind!

Is it wrong of me to have a nagging worry that this could end up being another heavily constrained wind farm paid to not generate - I read somewhere that the brand new 1GW Seagreen offshore farm had to curtail its generation for something like 70% of 2024 due to grid transmission constraints?

One might like to think that planners, etc would now fully understand possible constraint issues? ;) There again, likely not. :facepalm:

All ScotWind projects had to list their route to market during the lease assessment phase.
