Developers Flotation Energy and Vårgrønn have submitted a consent application for their 1.35GW Cenos floating offshore wind farm.
The project - which is delivered as part of Crown Estate Scotland's Innovation and Targeted Oil and Gas (INTOG) leasing round - will provide renewable power to the UK grid and to offshore platforms in the North Sea.
Cenos will consist of up to 95 floating turbine units and will be based around 190km from the coastline of Peterhead, according to the application.
The project’s 143 miles (230km) direct current export cable will connect the substations to shore, making landfall at Longhaven in Aberdeenshire.
Additionally, Cenos will use up to 217 miles (350km) of inter-array cables, including 174 miles (280km) of buried, static cabling, and 43 miles (70km) of dynamic cabling.
