Moray FLOW-Park

This development is a proposal by Offshore Solutions Group to create two temporary anchorages for floating wind turbines, one off Nairn and the other off Findhorn, at the locations shown on the map below.

You can find more details on their web site.

I first alerted most people in Nairn about this on 28th September 2025 at which point pretty much no one seemed to know about it, but now everyone is aware and there is an active campaign against it including a Stop the Moray Firth FLOW-Park Facebook group.

I’m sure I will be continuing to write about this in my blog but here’s some of the key posts, in chronological order, which should get you up to speed on what’s going on:

• 2025-09-28 - my first mention of it, at which time I knew very little

• 2025-10-19 - first news of the public meeting and of the geophysical survey

• 2025-10-26 - the problems for me with taking a public position on the FLOW-Park and more on public meetings, both in Forres and Nairn

• 2025-11-01 - link to fact sheet received from developers plus more on public meetings

• 2025-11-16 - report of the public meeting including the timeline for how the proposal will progress through the various legal states if it’s to happen
