What is ScotWind?
Organised by Crown Estate Scotland, ScotWind is the mechanism that allows developers to secure areas of seabed that can then be turned into offshore wind farms.
A total of 74 bids were submitted by companies and consortia hoping to put their stamp on Scotland’s low carbon future.
And while many contenders have been left disappointed by today’s announcement, Holyrood has committed to more leasing rounds in the near future. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/business-environment/business/2915442/crown-estate-scotland-reveals-scotwind-auction-winners/
