Ayrshire wind turbine installation contractor Windhoist has been awarded a multi-million pound contract award on the Beatrice offshore wind project.

Responding, Fabrice Leveque, Senior Policy Manager at Scottish Renewables, said:

“We’re delighted to hear that Windhoist has secured its first work in Scotland’s growing offshore wind sector.

“This partnership shows how SMEs can benefit from offshore wind, and also that companies can utilise their expertise in one sector to secure contracts in another. Windhoist’s ambition in this area is admirable and should be commended.

“In successfully securing this contract to carry out onshore turbine preassembly work for the Beatrice offshore wind project, Windhoist is continuing to support the development of engineering skills in Scotland.”
