A new project director has been appointed to take forward the Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm which is being developed 15km off the Angus coastline.
Red Rock Power has appointed Adam Ezzamel, who was formerly with EDF Renewables, to the role.
He brings more than 10 years of experience working on and leading major UK and Scottish offshore wind projects including Aberdeen Bay and Neart na Gaoithe and will lead the Inch Cape project team.
Guy Madgwick, CEO of Red Rock Power said: “Inch Cape is a strong, viable proposition and we are committed to completing the wind farm.
“Adam’s appointment comes as we look to accelerate our plans and his experience will prove invaluable as we continue to progress with the project.”
Inch Cape – owned by Red Rock Power subsidiary, Inch Cape Offshore – is consented for up to 72 turbines off the Angus Coast and has an existing grid connection at Cockenzie in East Lothian.
Ezzamel said: “I’ve been very impressed with the Inch Cape development, both as an outside observer and as part of the delivery team.
“In Inch Cape lies significant opportunities and I look forward to working with the team, supply chain and stakeholders as we work towards bringing the wind farm to fruition.”
In June the Scottish Government gave approval for a new plan for the site for up to 72 turbines as an alternative to the original consented plans for up to 110 turbines which was secured in 2014.
The changes were aimed to cut the construction time and cost to the end user.
