Pentland Floating Offshore Wind Farm

The Pentland Floating Offshore Wind Farm, previously known as Dounreay Trì is a proposed project located in the Pentland Firth, north of the Scottish mainland which will use six floating wind turbines. The project is located about 7.5 km (4.7 mi, 4.0 nmi) offshore from Dounreay, in Caithness. The project is being developed by Highland Wind Limited, which has a majority of funds managed by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP). Other partners include Eurus Energy and Hexicon. Construction and operations are expected to create around 1000 jobs and provide power for 70,000 homes, according to the developers. In January 2026, Phase 1 of the project was awarded Contracts for Difference for 92.5 MW at £216.49/MWh (2024 prices), as part of the seventh Allocation Round. The final investment decision is expected in 2027.
