News: Ocean Winds, a 50-50 joint venture (JV) between EDP Renewables and Engie, has won block NE4 in the ScotWind seabed tender, securing exclusive rights to develop a 1GW offshore wind project in Scottish waters. Called Caledonia, the offshore wind project will come up on a 440sq km site, with the possibility of using a portion of the plant’s output for green hydrogen production. The JV will start development with the publication of an environmental impact scoping report early in 2023. The wind project is due to be completed by the end of 2040, according to a press release from Engie.
