The NnG offshore wind farm, jointly owned by EDF Renewables and ESB, is sited approximately 15km off the east coast of Scotland, will be deployed over an area of 105 km2 and will be capable of generating around 450 megawatts of electricity – enough to power around 375,000 homes. The operator expects the wind farm to offset over 400,000 tonnes of Co2 emissions each year.
