The turbines will be installed on floating foundations operating in water depths of 90-120 meters, 25km off the coast of Peterhead in Aberdeenshire, with assembly at the West Coast of Norway scheduled for the first half of 2017.

"We are proud once again to be on board the floating wind project with Statoil, and to apply the experience we gained with the first full scale floater," said Morten Rasmussen, head of technology at Siemens Wind Power and Renewables.
