ONCE-IN-A-GENERATION
Scotwind is one of the biggest commitments to offshore wind in the world and will be a once-in-a-generation injection into the Scottish economy. It is an investment in Scottish jobs, manufacturing and skills. It is an investment that will power Scotland’s transition to a green economy. And it is an investment that will bring long-term economic benefits to the north of Scotland through new technology and new industrial sectors.
Scotwind will require the upgrade and development of deep water ports, manufacturing centres, logistics hubs and other infrastructure. Scotwind will generate thousands of new jobs that will require new housing, social infrastructure, retail and leisure developments.
Scotwind will unlock new sectors for the Scottish economy, including green hydrogen, data storage, low carbon steel and vertical farming. The projects will accelerate Scotland’s transition to a green economy and real estate is at the forefront of that transition.
