Edinburgh, November 3rd, 2025 – Qair announces a new phase in the ScotWind project, acquiring full ownership of the Ayre Offshore Wind Farm. As the sole developer of this floating offshore project, Qair reinforces its leadership in floating wind innovation and affirms its long-term commitment to Scotland’s renewable energy goals.
The adjustment reflects a shared decision by the partners to optimize project delivery by aligning ownership with technical expertise. As part of this realignment, Qair has exited the Bowdun Offshore Wind Farm project, with DEME Concessions and Aspiravi International becoming the sole owners.
The Ayre floating offshore wind farm, located to the east of Orkney and north-east of Caithness, will contribute 1GW of renewable energy to the national grid—enough to power more than 1.2 million households. Construction is expected to commence in 2030.
All parties remain engaged in Thistle Wind Partners TWP, the consortium of Qair, Deme and Aspiravi, ensuring continued collaboration in preparing and delivering Scotland’s next-generation offshore wind infrastructure.
