The NnG project is consistent with the CAP 2030 strategy which aims to double EDF's renewable energy globally between 2015 and 2030 increasing to 50 GW. Bruno Bensasson, EDF Group's Senior Executive Vice President, Renewable Energies and Chairman and CEO of EDF Renewables said: "These are two major milestones achieved by EDF Renewables demonstrating our strong capabilities in developing large offshore projects. We are pleased to get work underway with our new partner ESB and all Scottish companies and stakeholders involved. The 450 MW NnG project will play an important role in decarbonising the UK electricity system." Simone Rossi, CEO of EDF Energy added: "The UK has committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050 and the UN's latest emissions gap report underlines the need for urgent action. NNG is our largest offshore windfarm in the UK to date.
