#SSE Renewables

SSE Renewables’ 101 MW Yellow River wind farm in County Offaly, Ireland, is now producing first power after its connection and energisation onto the country’s national grid.

For the first time, the Shetland Islands have been connected to the GB grid, thanks to the completion of two major projects.

This PPA adds to Microsoft’s 900 MW power procurement in Ireland arranged in November 2022.

The offshore wind farm will be the world’s largest once finished.

SSE will pay €50 million for a 50% stake in the collection of projects and will be responsible for each development up to the planning consent process.

The substation will link part of the world’s largest offshore wind farm to the national grid.
