Last Turbine Installed!
We are incredibly proud to hear from Ocean Winds that the last (60th) turbine has been installed at the Moray West Wind Farm in the Moray Firth, Scotland!
WeatherQuest worked with Ocean Winds during the construction phase of the Moray East Wind Farm, up until September 2021 when the final turbine was installed. Through this service, we were kindly invited back to support the construction of their next project in the Moray Firth, Moray West.
The construction of Moray West began in 2022, with the project aim of producing its first power in 2024 and becoming fully operational in 2025. Since 2022, WeatherQuest has been providing Ocean Winds with our WindQuest service, aiding in construction and other marine operations. With the help of this service, Ocean Winds managed to limit weather-caused down time, staying on track with their aims; the wind farm produced its first power in July 2024 after nearly a third of the 60 turbines were installed. Fast forward to the end of the year, and by November 2024, all 60 of the turbines were installed. Once fully operational the wind farm will provide power equivalent to the needs of 1.33 million homes, saving 1.1 million tonnes of CO2 per year.
WeatherQuest have a strong working relationship with Ocean Winds and are happy to report that we will continue to supply Moray West with the WindQuest service into its Operations and Maintenance phase.
Well done to the team at Ocean Winds and everyone who worked on the Moray West wind farm! We look forward to continue working with you into the future!
