Scotland has an abundant on- and
offshore wind resource.
The development of wind power in the UK has
accelerated over the last few years as the technology
becomes more competitive. UK suppliers are also becoming
increasingly aware of the business opportunities presented
by the renewable energy industry. Onshore wind turbine
technology is set to become extensively deployed throughout
the world.
Scotland also possesses potential for
offshore wind development. One proposal is already being
developed in the Solway Firth, and the Scottish Executive
is helping to fund the development of a demonstrator
project in deep water in the Moray Firth.
