Innovation and Targeted Oil and Gas (INTOG) offshore wind leasing

Crown Estate Scotland has today announced the proposed details of its Innovation and Targeted Oil and Gas (INTOG) offshore wind leasing process. 

Responding, Ben Miller, Senior Policy Manager at Scottish Renewables, said:

“This announcement adds further momentum to the offshore wind sector in Scotland, and increases again the size of the supply chain opportunity ahead. Renewable energy must become the backbone of the net-zero emissions economy, so it’s encouraging to see that brownfield site decarbonisation will be prioritised in this process.

“We welcome the alignment with the ScotWind Leasing process in terms of supply chain, which should enable strong collaboration between projects to invest and support Scottish suppliers, and urge The Scottish Government to ensure resources are in place across key bodies to deliver on this ambition.”
