The Scottish Government last month awarded consent for the construction and operation of the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm, situated in the outer Firth of Tay.
The windfarm has the potential to generate up to 784MW of renewable energy and bring significant economic opportunities through construction and operation.

The mast has a gravity base foundation, mainly made out of concrete.
