The 3GW MarramWind joint venture will be built around 46 miles off Fraserburgh on the north-east coast of Scotland, while the 2GW CampionWind project will be built about 60 miles south east of Aberdeen.
Scottish Power and Shell will provide £75 million in supply chain funding to support the development of three floating and fixed-bottom offshore wind projects.
The two companies will provide a total of £50 million in supply chain stimulus funds for their two floating ScotWind projects – MarramWind and CampionWind.
The consortium secured seabed leases for the schemes from the Crown Estate, as part of the nearly 25 gigawatts (GW) of capacity announced in January.
