Aberdeen offshore wind farm, also known as the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre (EOWDC), is located just off the coast of Aberdeen in Scotland.
The wind farm began generating power in July 2018. It uses innovative technology, including turbines paired with suction bucket jacket foundations, which was a first for the industry at the time. The operations and maintenance team is stationed at Aberdeen Harbour.
The EOWDC has been awarded funding from the European Union and is supported by Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group (AREG).
