The first of three community consultation events this week will take place tomorrow at the St Fergus Village Hall. All consultation details and materials are now available online for review at www.buchanoffshorewind.com We look forward to welcoming local communities and stakeholders to provide feedback at our consultation events this week in St Fergus, Fraserburgh, and Peterhead.

Buchan Offshore Wind is holding a second round of community consultations as we refine our plans for a floating offshore wind farm, located 75km off Fraserburgh. This project could power 1.4 million homes and generate £1.4bn of investment in Scotland, creating up to 2,800 jobs during construction and 320 long-term roles. We invite local communities and stakeholders to provide feedback that will inform the next phases of design as we work to finalise our project plans before submitting applications next year. 📅 Consultation Dates: • 2pm-7pm, Tuesday 26 November: St Fergus Village Hall AB42 3QD • 2pm - 7pm, Wednesday 27 November: Dalrymple Hall, Fraserburgh AB43 9BD • 2pm – 7pm, Thursday 28 November: Peterhead Football Club AB42 1EQ Details and materials will be available online from Monday 25th November to Friday 20th December: www.buchanoffshorewind.com #OffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #CommunityEngagement #Scotland #GreenJobs #CleanEnergy

Buchan Offshore Wind is pleased to announce the renewal and extension of its support for Turning the Plastic Tide (TTPT), an important initiative managed by the East Grampian Coastal Partnership. This project aims to promote and coordinate community beach cleans, train volunteer organisers, and develop a sustainable network of trained volunteers to ensure ongoing beach clean efforts. In addition to organising logistics, including equipment and disposal containers, TTPT is focused on creating a network of beach clean kits for volunteer groups to utilise. Last year, the Buchan Offshore Wind team joined forces with volunteers from Balfour Beatty plc to successfully remove 1,620 kg of waste from Rattray Head beach, highlighting the positive impact of community engagement in environmental conservation. For more information on TTPT and how you can support this important project, please visit: https://www.egcp.scot/ttpt
