ScotWind offers a historic opportunity for Scotland to take the leadership role in global offshore wind markets of the future, particularly in emerging technologies like floating wind, green hydrogen and battery storage.
Bowdun has an ambition to invest more than £1billion in the Scottish supply chain through its Supply Chain Pathways Programme. We are actively supporting local businesses in overcoming barriers to entering the market, as well as funding early-stage STEM engagement in Scottish schools, and collaborating with academia on innovative R&D.
In July 2023 we updated the Bowdun Offshore Wind Farm with additional information on its supply chain strategy. Our figures on our ambitions for the local supply chain remain unchanged and are shared by our Tier 1 contractor DEME Offshore, which is overseeing our projects’ EPCI work (Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation).
The overall ScotWind programme is already triggering unprecedented foreign direct investment (FDI) into Scotland: in 2022, foreign investors pledged more than $54 billion to wind projects in Scotland. In that year, Scotland alone attracted almost as much wind power FDI as the rest of the world combined. TWP’s ambitious targets for its spend in the Scottish supply chain amount to more than £2.4 billion over both its projects.
Companies interested in being informed about future opportunities can send their details to be added to our project supplier database by sending an email to contact@twp.scot. The latest tenders can be viewed on the Energy Pathfinder page.
