Project would build on new FLOWIC centre in Aberdeen, and questions have been asked on whether the Scottish Government will support it.
ETZ chairman Sir Ian Wood says Aberdeen has the potential to build on oil and gas success to become the "Net Zero Capital of Europe".
ORE Catapult report outlines ten technological innovations which could bring about an 80% reduction in tidal stream energy costs.
The appetite for FLOW is clearly there – and Aberdeen is well-positioned to play a central role in the offshore wind revolution, writes ORE Catapult.
An uptick in strike prices leaves the offshore wind sector in a ‘good place’, according to supply chain experts – but challenges remain around investing in grid and infrastructure.
A new survey of the UK's offshore wind supply chain finds a decline in confidence since last year, as inflation and a disappointing CfD round dent expectations.
The wind sector is still very much in its ascendancy, but some vanguard projects are only a few years from the end of their initial design life, prompting many asset owners with the ultimate question – whether to repower or decommission?
Businesses across Caithness, Sutherland and Orkney have the chance to enter a development programme to set them up for work in offshore renewable energy.
Crown Estate Scotland will seek input from tidal and wave developers this month as it considers how to structure future leasing opportunities.

It is now over a year since the ScotWind leasing process created the opportunity for an additional 27.6GW of offshore wind in Scottish waters. Of the 20 projects that came through the application process, 14 are set to use floating wind turbines, positioning Scotland as a world leader in this technology. Whilst the scale of the result was eye catching, the accompanying Scottish supply chain commitments of over £28bn was perhaps the most significant result.
