Aurora Banks

The largest floating offshore wind project in the world.

United Kingdom
A new frontier for offshore wind

Aurora Banks represents the next evolution of offshore wind. Located in deep waters off the coast of Scotland, the project uses floating turbine technology to access wind resources previously out of reach for fixed-bottom installations.

Built at unprecedented scale, Aurora Banks will deliver reliable, utility-grade clean power to millions of homes while establishing a new benchmark for offshore engineering.

Commissioning

Offshore wind turbines stand tall in calm blue sea under a clear sky. The serene environment and clean energy symbols evoke a sense of tranquility and sustainability.

Harnessing the North Sea

The North Sea offers some of the most consistent and powerful wind resources in the world. Aurora Banks is positioned in deepwater zones where wind speeds are higher and more stable than nearshore environments.

Floating foundations allow turbines to be deployed in waters too deep for traditional structures, unlocking vast new areas for renewable generation.

Key characteristics:

High average wind speeds year round

Deepwater location beyond fixed foundation limits

Minimal visual impact from shoreline

Direct connection to UK grid infrastructure

Floating wind at scale

Aurora Banks uses advanced floating platforms anchored to the seabed, allowing turbines to operate in water depths exceeding 60 meters.

Each turbine is mounted on a semi-submersible structure stabilized by mooring lines and dynamic cables, enabling flexibility without sacrificing performance.

Core systems:

Next generation 25 MW class turbines

Semi-submersible floating foundations

Dynamic subsea cable systems

Offshore substations for grid integration

Built at industrial scale

Aurora Banks is being constructed through a phased deployment model, enabling continuous installation while minimizing risk and maximizing efficiency.

Turbines are assembled onshore and towed to site, significantly reducing offshore construction complexity and exposure to weather delays.

Process highlights:

Onshore assembly and integration

Tow-out installation method

Modular deployment strategy

Coordinated global supply chain

From offshore to on grid

Energy generated at Aurora Banks is transmitted via high voltage subsea cables to onshore substations, where it is integrated into the UK grid.

Advanced power electronics ensure stable delivery, even as offshore conditions change.

Key components:

High voltage export cables

Offshore and onshore substations

Grid forming inverter technology

Real time load balancing systems
