Supply Chain
The Oxford dictionary defines the “Supply Chain” as a series of processes involved in the production and supply of goods, from when they are first made until they are bought or used.
A huge variety of skills, products and knowledge are needed to develop a renewable energy project, from welders and lawyers to caterers and architects.
As we transition to a low-carbon economy there are opportunites for companies across many renewable technologies:
At Scottish Renewables we work to champion the diverse organisations making up the growing renewable energy supply chain in Scotland.
We represent and support suppliers, showcasing their exceptional skills, expertise and experience. From SMEs to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and large-scale contractors, Scottish Renewables guides and connects the stakeholders of Scotland’s world-leading supplier network.
We do this by working collaboratively across the industry with project developers, government and other sector-specific industry bodies like enterprise agencies.
Our Supply Chain Impact Statement 2023/24 showcases the great work suppliers are delivering in Scotland for the energy transition.To learn about the positive impact renewables projects are having on the supply chain read the document in our publication pages.
