Caledonia Offshore Wind Farm

Born out of a strategic alliance between EDP Renewables and ENGIE, Ocean Winds develops, finances, builds and operates offshore wind farms all over the world. We were tasked with designing, delivering and managing a series of consultation events across Grampian and the Highlands for the company’s Caledonia Offshore Wind Farm. These events aimed to gather feedback from local communities and supply chains to inform the early stages of the project’s development.

We organised three events in Wick, Buckie and Fraserburgh, input to the web-based virtual consultation website, and produced collateral including a project overview brochure to enable discussions and help attendees express their feedback easily. We also created a high-impact film to bring the Caledonia project to life, enabling the community and other stakeholders to relate to this project positively.

The three events attracted a strong community turnout. Media activity resulted in coverage being secured in well-read local media publications, totalling potential readership of over 600,000. LinkedIn activity around the event had an average engagement rate of 10% against the platform’s average of 2%.  The premiere of the project film reaching over 6,000 views.
