About EOWDC

Supported with a European Union grant of up to 40m Euros and located off Aberdeen Bay, EOWDC would accelerate the development of offshore wind power by proving the next generation of technology in a real time offshore environment. It is expected that the facility would create jobs and economic benefit by attracting scientists, researchers, engineers, offshore wind supply chain companies and future investment in a fast growing sector.  A consent application to Marine Scotland is expected shortly.
