World's largest floating wind farm to be built off the coast of Scotland

The video discusses the high costs of traditional turbine foundations and introduces Statoil's innovative floating wind farm project off the coast of Peterhead, Scotland. The floating turbines, which are not anchored to the seabed, are cheaper and can be placed in deeper waters. Each turbine has a capacity of 6 MW, collectively powering 20,000 homes. In 2014, wind power contributed significantly to Scotland's energy consumption.
