European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre

The European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre has deployed innovative next generation technology. Underlining the vision for the more than £300 million EOWDC is the installation of two V164-8.8MW turbines and nine V164-8.4MW turbines paired with suction bucket jacket foundations, an industry first. Construction of the facility, which also includes 66kV cabling, began in October 2016, with first power generated on 1st July 2018. The operations and maintenance (O&M) team is based at Aberdeen Harbour.

The EOWDC has been awarded up to €40million of funding from the European Union and is supported by Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group (AREG).
