Within the energy sector, oil and gas remain vital, with the offshore industry meeting 45 per cent of the UK’s overall energy needs.
But with climate change higher up the news agenda than ever before, renewable energy clearly has a bigger role to play.
Finally, according to Keith Patterson, partner in projects, energy and infrastructure at Brodies, offshore wind has performed well, but other areas of the sector have faced considerable challenges.
“The outlook for offshore wind is undoubtedly positive,” he notes. “Onshore wind and solar are seeking to develop new business models to enable deployment of new projects, which we believe will emerge. However, the level of deployment will depend upon policy support.”
