Crown Estate Scotland has awarded SPR the rights to develop an offshore wind farm within an area of seabed that is located north-west of Islay and west of Colonsay. The Option Area which SPR has been granted the rights to develop is large, but in forthcoming years we will carry out surveys across this area that will enable us to identify the most suitable location for the final MachairWind wind farm array within that bigger Option Area.
The windfarm itself will only cover a part of this area and its exact location will be informed by survey works that will be conducted over the coming months and years.
