Offshore windfarm gets the green light
The 11-turbine windfarm will stretch from Aberdeen to an area off Blackdog at Balmedie on the outskirts of the city.
The demonstration development is being spearheaded by Swedish electricity company Vattenfall and the Aberdeen Renewable Energy Group (AREG). The first turbines are expected on site within two years.
