World's first floating wind farm being set up in Scotland
The world's first floating wind farm is being put together on the north-east coast of Scotland. The $250-million Hywind project features 253-metre-long floating windmills, with one-third of their ballast underwater anchored to the seabed with cables. Five 6 MW wind turbines would power 20,000 homes. The turbines are built off Norway's coast and would be shipped to Scotland.
