Quite a lot of wind turbine components sitting in the port of Dundee, I don't know which windfarm they are for.
Also seen a fair number of BEV taxis, double decker buses and intercity single decker buses.

I read somewhere that Dundee has more EV chargepoints per head than any other city in UK? I know Ensco use Dundee for a lot of their jack up maintenance. ThT one there looks maybe like Maersk colours?

Seems like it is Milton Keynes that has the most charge points per head of population with Dundee coming in 9th position, wouldn't want to be in Southend on Sea looking for a charger!

Must be the old vivid imagination kicking in!

When is the data from? It looks like back in 2021.

My recollections of Dundee are meeting my childhood hero (Desperate Dan), along with others , including the ducks outside the church.

The statuary in Dundee is fun and well done.

We’d visited to see the new V&A - externally superb, internally/content disappointing.

Big mistake - wearing my usual attire of shorts and T. Works well in Somerset; March in Dundee with a keen wind coming off the Tay estuary.

No

Dundee gets plenty of mentions for EV HUBS, less so general installs, but we know their first hub (more since) have been well received, the solar, battery etc, way to go, and in Scotland ffs, brave to consider let alone pass planning stage & no moans (that i've seen in print) about it, really if it is that good then ought it not be cited as a model for other councils to act upon?

We have 4 oddly positioned (2+2) taxi only fast chargers in cambridge, one near "mackays" & the other!? cost a bomb, seen one used once only on my frequent trips into cowville.

MK is "asking" residents where they'd like to see MORE charger points, ..not slackers on the EV front.

4 rigs currently in the dock at Dundee

likely for the Moray field.

Port of Dundee is the marshalling and pre-assembly yard for EDF's 459 MW (54 x 8 MW turbines) Neart na Gaoithe (NnG) wind farm, 15.5km east of Fife Ness in the outer Firth of Forth. Has had quite a difficult development process - it was originally awarded a CfD in AR1.

Port of Nigg in the Cromarty Firth is currently supporting the SSE's AR3 1,075 MW (114 x 10 MW) Seagreen 1 project which is about 27km east of Arbroath. Its grid connection is to Tealing in Angus. A further 36 turbines are consented but are being developed as the separate Seagreen 1A project with a grid connection to Port Cockenzie in East Lothian.

Nigg previously supported the construction of Ocean Wind's AR2 950 MW (100 x 9.5 MW) Moray East wind farm, which was completed last year. It sits 22km off the Caithness coast in the outer Moray Firth and is connected to Blackhillock substation in Moray.

The largest operating substation in the UK, Blackhillock is also the connection point for the neighbouring Beatrice offshore wind farm and a 300 MW / 600 MWh BESS project By Zenobe.

Ocean Wind, an JV between EDPR annd Engie, also plan to use Nigg again for their 882 MW (60 x 14.7 MW) Moray West project, next door to Moray East. This project only reached financial close in April following the award of a CfD in AR4 last year and has only just begun onshore construction. It'll connect to the new Whitehillock substation in Moray. It's a particularly interesting project to watch as only a third of the capacity is secured against a CfD, with 50% instead linked to a Commercial Power Purchase Agreement and the remaining 20% to be sold on a merchant basis.

Ocean Winds have a third Moray project in development named Caledonia Wind Farm, which at 2 GW will supply more power than Moray East and Moray West combined.
