Our Supply CHain

Investing Locally

Our vision is to develop a world leading offshore windfarm which will support deep decarbonisation across the Scottish economy, while maximising socio-economic benefits to the Scottish supply chain and the communities in which we operate.

We plan for 60 percent of the project to be delivered by UK businesses over its lifetime, with 40 percent coming from Scotland, and have an ambition to drive skills development and create opportunities for businesses and organisations in Caithness, Sutherland and Orkney, across Scotland and the rest of the UK. This will include employment opportunities through the construction phase and for many years of operation, and we would like as many of these jobs as possible to go to local firms.

We already support a number of initiatives in the north of Scotland, including a £1 million research and development programme being led by EMEC in Orkney, a £1.2m education initiative led by UHI, a £125,000 Fit 4 Renewables scheme led by ORE Catapult and £50,000 to support local apprentices in Caithness and north Sutherland.

Although construction of the wind farm will not ramp up fully for a number of years, we believe early engagement is critical in helping local firms understand how work will be advertised and procured, and in enabling them to bid successfully for future contracts.
