Neart na Gaoithe Offshore Wind Farm
United Kingdom
The 1496th largest power station in the world
Neart Na Gaoithe ("strength of the wind" in Gaelic, pronounced [ˈɲarʃd nə gɤ.jə]) is an offshore wind farm in the outer Firth of Forth, Scotland, UK. It is 15.5 kilometres (9.6 mi) east of Fife Ness, with a generating capacity of 450 MW. It was developed by EDF Renewables and ESB. Offshore work began in 2020, with completion originally planned for 2023 but delayed due to supply chain challenges, the Covid pandemic and "construction woes" until summer 2025. The windfarm, also known as just NNG, became fully operational in July 2025, with an expected operational lifetime of 25 years. It is managed from an operations base in Eyemouth that employs 50 people.
