the world's first floating wind farm has
00:10
started generating electricity in waters
00:12
off the coast of Scotland today First
00:21
Minister Nicola Sturgeon officially
00:23
opened the Highland project about 15
00:25
miles 25 kilometres off the shore of
00:28
Peterhead Aberdeen shirt which could
00:30
provide power for 20,000 homes
00:35
[Music]
00:39
the project has been developed by
00:41
Norwegian state energy company statoil
00:44
although mr. Chen stressed Scottish
00:46
firms had been involved in the work
00:48
[Music]
00:54
floating turbines have been installed on
00:57
about 2.5 square miles 4 sq kilometers
01:00
of water in the North Sea where the
01:03
average wind speed is about 10 meters
01:05
per second
01:06
[Music]
01:12
miss sturgeon said Scotland has
01:14
developed an international reputation
01:16
for modern renewable energy technologies
01:19
in high-wind Scotland the world's first
01:21
floating wind farm is testament to that
01:24
[Music]
01:29
last month I set out our programme for
01:32
government which made firm commitments
01:34
to create a cleaner and greener Scotland
01:36
and the development of renewable energy
01:38
is vital to achieve this this pilot
01:47
project underlines the potential of
01:49
Scotland's huge offshore wind resourcing
01:52
position Scotland at the forefront of
01:54
the global race to develop the next
01:56
generation of offshore wind technologies
01:59
[Music]
02:04
in addition to the green benefits of
02:07
renewable energy it also has a very
02:09
significant contribution to make to our
02:11
economy
02:14
[Music]
02:17
I am pleased Scottish suppliers have
02:21
contributed to the high one project from
02:23
the development through to the
02:24
production phase and are still involved
02:26
to investigate long term potential for
02:28
floating wind this has been possible
02:37
through the unique support which we have
02:38
made available in Scotland environmental
02:47
campaigners also welcomed the opening
02:49
with Gina Hannigan acting head of policy
02:52
at WWF Scotland stating with around a
02:55
quarter of Europe's offshore wind
02:57
resource in Scotland it's great to see
02:59
the world's first floating wind farm
03:01
inaugurated off our coast
03:09
offshore wind is already an industrial
03:11
success story across the UK cutting
03:14
emissions creating jobs and dramatically
03:16
driving down costs
03:22
[Music]
03:24
by demonstrating the commercial
03:26
viability of floating wind scotland can
03:28
help to develop the industry and new
03:30
frontiers and deeper waters with this
03:39
kind of innovation and investment and
03:41
continued political support Scotland
03:43
will continue to power towards our
03:45
target of securing half of all our
03:47
energy needs from renewable sources by
03:49
2030 the high one project features five
03:58
turbines which are 253 metres tall with
04:02
78 metres submerged under the sea and
04:05
anchored to the seabed by cables renewer
04:14
blook chief executive humic Neal said
04:16
floating offshore wind opens up new
04:18
opportunities for us to build offshore
04:20
wind farms in much deeper waters than
04:22
before where wind speeds are even higher
04:27
[Music]
04:30
the extraordinary Highland project is
04:33
being watched around the world as
04:35
floating offshore wind has the potential
04:37
to be exported globally with the UK at
04:40
the heart of this groundbreaking
04:41
technology innovation is key to the
04:50
government's industrial strategy and
04:52
this is a great example of how offshore
04:55
wind continues to push the parameters
04:57
creating thousands of jobs and
04:59
delivering billions investment to the UK
