Bellrock Offshore Wind Farm Limited is hosting a virtual public consultation event, from 17 to 30 November 2025, inviting local communities, stakeholders, and interested parties to learn more and have their say on the offshore elements of the project.
Located in the North Sea, 120 km east of Stonehaven, the Bellrock Offshore Wind Farm will have the potential to produce up to 1.8 gigawatts (GW) of renewable electricity – the equivalent of powering over 1.7 million homes*.
The electricity generated by the wind farm will connect to the National Electricity Transmission System at the Hurlie substation, west of Stonehaven.
The consent applications for the Wind Farm Development Area will be submitted around March 2026, and the Development Team is currently in the early stage of site selection for the offshore transmission infrastructure, which will come ashore between Findon and St Cyrus, Aberdeenshire.
The consultation event will focus on:
- Updates to the design of the Bellrock Offshore Wind Farm
- Details of the preliminary environmental impact of the Wind Farm Development Area
- Updates to some of the environmental impact assessment methodologies
- Details of the Area of Search for the Offshore Transmission Development Area.
David Robertson, Portfolio Director – Scotland, said: “We are committed to ensuring that local communities and stakeholders have every opportunity to engage with the project, ask questions, and help shape its future. Feedback is invaluable as we work together to deliver clean energy and lasting benefits for the region.”
