Fabrice Leveque, Senior Policy Manager at Scottish Renewables, said: “Offshore wind is a UK- wide success story, with recent cost reductions a testament to the sector’s ability to rise to a challenge.
“Scotland has a strong heritage of offshore expertise, as well as some of Europe’s best wind resources. This new deal is an opportunity to build on recent successes and ensure that the enormous potential for jobs and investment presented by offshore wind is shared across the UK.
“Baroness Brown’s appointment as an ambassador for the sector is also to be welcomed – she is a true champion of offshore wind and we look forward to working with her as the sector deal proposal progresses.”
