Developer Mainstream Renewable Power (MRP) will make a complete exit from its 450MW Neart na Gaoithe ( NnG ) offshore wind project, with an announcement on a sale likely within a month, Recharge has learned.

A source close to the negotiations said talks on the sale of MRPs interest in the NnG project – sited in 45-55 metres of water in the Outer Forth Estuary, off the east coast of Scotland – are “at an advanced stage”.
