The first power has been delivered at the new Moray West offshore wind farm.
The development is on track to become fully operational by the end of next year, when it will be able to produce enough power for half of Scotland's homes.
Nearly a third of its 60 turbines - which each stand at more than 400ft tall - have been installed, while all platforms which the turbines sit on have been installed.
The £2.5bn project, developed by Ocean Winds, sits around 50km north of Buckie.
The 17th and 18th turbines are being installed this week, while all turbine components are being pre-assembled at Port of Nigg. All foundations, offshore substations and cables are installed.
Construction vessels are using ports in Invergordon and Nigg to ship the 60 turbines and 180 blades, the latter the longest in UK waters are roughly 354ft.
Moray West project director Pete Geddes said: "I am delighted we have been able to maintain the project timeline.
“I’m looking forward to a timely handover to the new operations team in the first months of 2025.
"To meet UK Government targets for offshore wind deployment, it is vital that policy is stable and supportive, to nurture investor confidence and, thereby, avoid the risk of market and regulatory shock."
Meanwhile, Chief Operating Officer of Ocean Winds Bautista Rodriguez said: "Announcing first power for Moray West in the current international context marks Ocean Winds’ commitment to successful delivery, adaptability, reactivity and resilience, as well as highlighting the tremendous work from our teams.
"With two more projects in development… and Moray East already operating, we are proud to take an active and growing part in the United Kingdom’s energy transition.
"Our long-term presence in the Moray Firth region developing supply chain, unlocking local opportunities and generating clean energy through state-of-the-art offshore wind projects is the perfect example of what Ocean Winds is committed to delivering in its 16 secured projects worldwide."
