The Offshore Wind Industry Prospectus was launched today by former McLaren Group CEO and Formula One Team Principal Martin Whitmarsh. It states that the global offshore wind sector could be “worth £30 billion a year by 2030” to UK supply chain firms.
Responding, Fabrice Leveque, Senior Policy Manager at Scottish Renewables, said:“This prospectus shines a spotlight on the major opportunities for UK supply chain firms within the growing domestic and international offshore wind markets.
“Falling costs are spurring interest from across the globe and supply chain companies in Scotland need to be aware of the opportunities this thriving sector can offer, both at home and abroad.
“With the right support from Government the industry can continue to grow, creating new jobs as well as clean, green electricity for Scotland.”
