Around 21 companies, from Dumfriesshire to Orkney, are working on offshore renewable energy projects in Scotland, England, the EU and further afield, according to a new report.
Scottish Renewables’ Supply Chain Impact report spotlights several companies that include Global Energy Group (GEG), Leask Marine, Aerial Vision and Partrac.
GEG has invested £90m to develop a world-class port facility at Port of Nigg in the Cromarty Firth with further investments planned.
Leask Marine is an Orkney marine services company that has worked on more than 22 offshore wind farms across Europe and, from 2019, North America.
Drone services provider Aerial Vision, of Lanark, had another busy year after being drafted in to inspect Equinor’s turbines off the coast of south east England.

The Scottish Government’s response to the outcome of an inquiry into the procurement of two ferries has been criticised.
The inquiry was launched by the Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee in 2019 after it emerged that hulls 801 and 802, being built at the Ferguson Marine Engineering Limited (FMEL) shipyard in Port Glasgow, would be delivered late and at more than double their initial cost.
