The 7MW Levenmouth offshore wind demonstration turbine in Fife will be available until 2029 after it won permission from the Scottish Government to remain in operation.

The turbine, run by the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult, has been operating for four years and has given more than 50 UK companies access for technology development, demonstration and validation, or access to data and information generated by turbine operations. The current value of ongoing projects associated with the turbine is more than £11 million.
