Energy major Shell has exited two planned floating offshore wind developments off the coast of Scotland — the 3 GW MarramWind and 2 GW CampionWind projects — following a strategic reassessment of its renewables portfolio.
Shell has sold its stake in MarramWind to ScottishPower Renewables, which plans to continue developing the project. However, the CampionWind lease has been returned to Crown Estate Scotland, with future options for the site now under review.
The withdrawal represents a significant moment for the UK’s floating wind sector. CampionWind alone was expected to attract billions of pounds in domestic and overseas investment, underlining the scale of economic impact associated with large floating wind developments.
While rising costs, supply-chain constraints, and political uncertainty continue to challenge offshore wind projects, industry groups stress that Scotland retains a strong and globally competitive floating wind pipeline.
