Danish company Ørsted has obtained an 80% stake in the joint venture (JV) set up by Simply Blue Group and minority partner Subsea 7. The parties are developing the Salamander floating offshore wind project in Scotland.
Financial details for the acquisition have not been disclosed, but it was noted that Green Giraffe acted as an adviser to Simply Blue Group and Subsea 7 on the JV with Ørsted.
Salamander is a proposed 100MW floating offshore wind farm offshore north-eastern Scotland. The project is at an advanced planning stage and is intended to be progressed through the innovation track of Crown Estate Scotland’s forthcoming Innovation and Targeted Oil and Gas (INTOG) leasing round, to happen in June 2022.
