Our National Renewable Energy Centre in Blyth is a concentration of leading expertise and infrastructure dedicated to the acceleration of new and innovative offshore renewable energy technology. It is also an integral part of the UK’s national infrastructure for offshore renewable energy.

Our Aberdeen facility is the UK’s first innovation centre focused purely on the development of floating offshore wind. The state-of-the-art facility, called FLOWIC, allows companies to test their products in a safe environment, as it replicates the conditions they will face out in the deeper waters suited to floating offshore wind.

Our 7MW Levenmouth Demonstration Turbine (LDT), located in Fife on the east coast of Scotland, is the world’s most advanced offshore wind research turbine. We offer technology demonstrations and trials, collaborative research projects, and support SMEs with testing new systems and methods.
