This engagement is essential and will provide an opportunity for communities and stakeholders to be kept up to date and provide feedback which can improve our project design and delivery.

As part of this consultation, the Bellrock Offshore Wind Farm will be hosting a virtual public consultation event between 17 and 30 November 2025.

Consent applications for the Wind Farm Development Area will be submitted around March 2026, and the development team are at the early stage of the site selection process for the offshore transmission infrastructure, which will come ashore between Findon and St Cyrus, Aberdeenshire.

This virtual public consultation event will focus on the offshore elements of the project, with an opportunity to submit questions to the development team and find out more about the project, including:

• 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; and
• Details of the Area of Search for the Offshore Transmission Development Area.

Questions can be submitted online at any time during the consultation period, and the development team will also be hosting four live Q&A sessions (see details below).

This is also an ideal opportunity for interested parties to provide feedback on the development plans which could help shape the project going forward.

A key element of our Scottish floating offshore wind projects is developing a community ownership model, governed independently, and directed by the communities in which the schemes will operate.

The model could create a blueprint, shaping the future of community benefit from floating offshore wind projects throughout the whole of Scotland. This builds on Nadara’s successful track record of deploying similar schemes for a number of its onshore wind farms in Scotland.

We are currently working in partnership with community ownership experts Energy4All to explore the options.
