FRANKFURT, Jan 17 (Reuters) - BP and EnBW
on Monday said they made a successful joint bid for Scottish
offshore wind acreage and were planning a 2.9 gigawatt farm that
BP previously said could result in 10 billion pounds ($13.7
billion) of total investment.
The two companies, which formed a 50-50 joint venture last
year to pursue such projects, said construction for the planned
wind farm off the Scottish coast would start around 2026/27.
The Morven offshore wind farm will provide power for more
than 3 million households, the companies said.
