Positioning North East Scotland as a global leader in energy excellence and pioneering technologies
North East Scotland is home to a large proportion of the world’s subsea engineering capability and the highest concentration of energy supply chain companies anywhere in the UK.
Home to a critical mass of skills and experience crucial to accelerating our diversification to new and green energies – creating a domestic renewables industry that is second to none. A growing low carbon energy ecosystem – hosting the headquarters of a range of market leading industry bodies including Offshore Energies UK, Net Zero Technology Centre, Global Underwater Hub and the National Decommissioning Centre.
Scotland is one of the world’s largest markets for offshore wind, with a pipeline of 42GW consented, under construction or planned through leasing rounds + there is 3GW currently operational. Projects off North East Scotland cover 75% (34.5GW) of the total installed + planned pipeline in Scotland of 45.5GW.

A comprehensive investment programme is underway, delivering market-ready properties and sites for high-value manufacturing and the broader energy transition supply chain.
