The Neart na Gaoithe (NnG) Offshore Wind Farm, situated 15.5 km off the coast of Fife and brought to full operation earlier this year, has been recognised with a top industry award at the annual Scottish Green Energy Awards.

The 450MW wind farm scooped the highly coveted 'Outstanding Project Award' at this year's ceremony, which took place in Edinburgh. The judging panel highlighted the project team for successfully overcoming major challenges, embodying the resilience and innovation required for Scotland's offshore sector.

The Scottish Green Energy Awards, run by leading industry body Scottish Renewables, is the UK's largest celebration of clean energy, recognising the organisations, people, and projects shaping Scotland's clean energy future. The sector now employs more than 47,000 people across Scotland.
