The 1 GW project, designed for up to 70 turbines on BW Ideol’s Damping Pool floating foundations, sits about 75 km north-east of Fraserburgh, Scotland. Buchan Offshore Wind—a joint venture of BayWa r.e., BW Ideol and Elicio—appointed Kent as Owner’s Engineer to support its transition into the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase. Kent’s scope covers electrical balance of plant development, FEED planning, package engineering coordination, and preparation of tender documentation, with specialist input from Vekta Group and New Power Partners. Onshore electrical infrastructure consent was granted by Aberdeenshire Council in May 2026, and a Scottish Government decision on the offshore consent is expected by the end of the year.
