SSE has taken full ownership of offshore wind projects being developed by Seagreen Wind Energy – in which it had a 50% share – acquiring the remainder from Fluor.

The Seagreen projects are in the outer Firth of Forth and Firth of Tay.

SSE said it is focused on preparing the Seagreen Phase 1 projects for the next UK Contracts for Difference auction planned by May 2019. Subsequent auctions are planned every two years, and £557 million of funding will be available.
