The Scottish government has given the go-ahead to a major offshore wind farm development in the Outer Moray Firth.

The two neighbouring projects – from Moray Offshore Renewables Limited and Beatrice Offshore Windfarm Limited – involve a total of 326 turbines.

The Scottish government said the combined development would be the world’s third biggest offshore wind farm.

The project could generate electricity for more than a million homes.
