Scots identify lead areas for renewables development
4 February 2010
A report published today has outlined how Scotland can capitalise on its offshore wind and tidal resources to develop a renewables industry.
The
report, titled Scotland's National Renewable Infrastructure Plan has identified sites with the potential to help Scotland become established as a location for offshore wind turbine manufacturing and construction operations.
The report says that investment in these sites will ensure renewable energy companies operating in Scotland have access to a high quality business environment to help them expand as well as attract new inward investment to Scotland.
The sites that have been identified for as potential locations for a first phase of staged investment are:
Leith
Dundee
Nigg
Energy Park Fife at Methil
Hunterston
Aberdeen
Arnish
Campbeltown/Machrihanish
Ardesier
Kishorn
Peterhead
The plan, led by Scottish Enterprise (SE) with support from Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), is the first phase of the development of the National Renewables Infrastructure Plan.
