Vattenfall, the Swedish energy firm, will maintain its commitment to a £300m offshore windfarm near Aberdeen despite the UK’s Brexit vote. The company said it would continue with construction of two turbines on the site and that there was no change in its plans for another one at an existing site. Among the cost-cutting measures is a means of attaching the turbines to the seabed using technology that uses less material and higher voltage cabling that loses less of the electricity generated. Vattenfall also announced that it will buy out Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group’s 25% share in the project, which consists of 11 turbines and will also enable experimentation with reducing the cost of the technology.
