Caithness Business Breakfast

Thistle Wind Partners (TWP) is a new offshore wind developer.

Our projects are 

• The Ayre Offshore Wind Farm, a 1GW floating-foundation project, to the east of Orkney and north of Caithness (57km from Wick), at a deepwater site in the NE2 leasing zone (200km² in area).
• The Bowdun Offshore Wind Farm, a 1GW fixed-foundation project, located 44km off the coast of Aberdeenshire (from Stonehaven) in the E3 leasing zone (187km2 in area).

By mixing floating and jacket foundations, our projects represent a broad and exciting opportunity for technology developers and the Scottish supply chain.

At this event, organised by the Caithness Chamber of Commerce, TWP’s team are looking to introduce and discuss the opportunities ahead for businesses in the Highlands & Islands region.
