French oil and gas giant Total has said its “strong industrial position” in Aberdeen has spurred its decision to move into the Scottish offshore wind market in the North Sea.

The company’s boss, Patrick Pouyanne, revealed earlier this month that Total “intends to participate” in the upcoming ScotWind leasing round.

He said Total was looking at both the offshore wind and floating wind markets.

A spokesman for Total confirmed the firm’s plans last night, adding that the company was “moving fast” in developing its offshore wind plans.
