Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm
Inch Cape is a 1080MW offshore wind farm situated 15km from the Angus coast in the North Sea. The power it generates will be transmitted 85 kilometres to a new substation at Cockenzie, in East Lothian from where it will enter the national transmission system.

Once complete its 72 turbines will generate enough electricity to power almost half the homes in Scotland.
