Communities
We are committed to consulting with local communities and stakeholders as we progress through the consenting phase of the project.
Ongoing engagement is essential and will provide an opportunity for communities and stakeholders to be kept up to date on project developments and provide feedback which can improve our project design and delivery.
The Broadshore, Sinclair and Scaraben Offshore Wind Farms (collectively referred to as the Broadshore Hub) will hold two public consultation events on 26th & 27th November 2024.
The consultation events will provide an opportunity to meet the development team and find out more about the projects and the areas under consideration for the onshore substations. With these projects at an early stage of development, this is an ideal opportunity for local stakeholders and communities to provide feedback which could help shape and inform the projects going forward.
Consultation event details:
We are inviting communities to public consultation events on 26th and 27th November 2024.

These events are a crucial step in ensuring that the projects are developed in a way that benefits the local area and supports Scotland’s renewable energy goals.”

We believe in sharing the benefits of the green energy transformation with the communities where we operate.
A key element of our Scottish floating offshore wind projects is the development of a community ownership model, governed independently, and directed by the communities in which the projects will operate.
The model could create a blueprint, shaping the future of community benefit from floating offshore wind projects throughout the whole of Scotland. This builds on Nadara’s successful track record of deploying similar schemes for a number of its onshore wind farms in Scotland. We are currently working in partnership with community ownership experts Energy4All to explore the options.
