SSE says its 103 -turbine project, known as Viking, can generate 443 megawatts ( MW ) of electricity, enough to power nearly 500,000 homes.
SSE has built a 160-mile long undersea cable to carry the power from Viking to Noss Head , near Wick , on the Scottish mainland.
Critics say mass industrialisation for private profit will ruin swathes of British countryside.
Labour government has set a target for 100% of UK 's electricity to be generated from renewable sources by 2030 .
Offshore Energies UK says it is paying three times the tax of the wider economy.
Producers currently pay a tax rate of 78% , including a windfall tax brought in after Russia ’s invasion of Ukraine caused a spike in the oil price.
Government insists it will protect North Sea jobs for decades to come while ensuring smooth transition to renewable energy.
