Repsol purchased the company in June 2011. In 2013 he founded Pilot offshore Renewables with Nicol Stephen to pursue the development of the Kincardine Offshore windfarm. This is a 50 MW floating pilot programme and when completed later this year will be the world’s largest grid connected floating windfarm consisting of 5 x 9.5 MW MHIVestas V164 9.5 and 1 x 2 MW Vestas V80 on PPI Windfloat substructures. The first generation was achieved in September 2018 and the full development will be complete next spring.
