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 have committed £105 million project level investment during the initial phase of the project to develop the supply chain that will be enhanced to at least £140 million by match funding from third parties.
This investment initiative will be delivered ahead of any final decision to start construction of the project and it will be entirely focused on the West of Orkney Windfarm project.
Through our support schemes, we will work with suppliers and across industry to develop the offshore wind supply chain across Scotland and the rest of the UK.
