New offshore wind power projects will be “crucial” as Scotland seeks to become “one of the net-zero capitals of Europe”, Nicola Sturgeon has said.
The First Minister spoke out as seabed agreements were announced for three new developments in the waters around Shetland, which together are expected to generate some 2.8 gigawatts (GW) of electricity.
The three projects have all been offered option agreements as part of the Crown Estate’s ScotWind clearing process.
While the announcement of seabed agreements is just the first stage in that process, Colin Palmer, the director of marine at Crown Estate Scotland, hailed the news as “a fantastic result for Shetland and for Scotland”
