Following Scottish Power Renewables today being awarded the seabed rights to develop an off-shore windfarm off Islay, as part of Crown Estate Scotland鈥檚 ScotWind Leasing, Leader of P站色情片, Councillor Robin Currie said:
鈥淭his has the potential to bring significant benefits to P站色情片 and Bute, as well as more widely across Scotland.
It could increase by 200% the amount of clean energy we produce in P站色情片 and Bute, and make a major contribution to getting Scotland and P站色情片 and Bute to net zero.
It creates opportunities for a substantial number of temporary and permanent jobs across P站色情片 and Bute, helping our economy recover and grow sustainably.
It also has the potential to position P站色情片 and Bute as a place where new industries such as data centres can access a ready supply of renewable energy. We look forward to working with Scottish Power Renewables as this project moves forward.鈥
Potential suppliers can get involved through the Scottish Power website (MachairWind, Islay):
The proposed 2GW off-shore wind farm proposal will be subject to achieving all the necessary permissions that will cover this.
