Energy giant BP has pledged to make Aberdeen the centre of its global offshore wind business as part of a £10billion bid to win a lease to install and manage turbines in the North Sea.The company’s global offshore wind centre of excellence would be the centrepiece of an massive investment across Scotland if it succeeds in its bid for acreage in ScotWind, the first offshore wind leasing round in Scottish waters for more than a decade.
BP and its partner in the bid, German energy company EnBW, have joined a contest of several companies that have submitted proposals to the Crown Estate Scotland to develop offshore wind farms in a tender process that ended last week.
There are more than a dozen plots of seabed off Scotland’s shores available to commercial wind developers in through ScotWind, which is expected to be decided next year - link
