MORAY MP WELCOMES OFFSHORE WIND ANNOUNCEMENT

Moray’s MP Angus Robertson has welcomed the announcement that SSE have reached financial close on their Beatrice Offshore Wind Project in the Moray Firth, meaning the project will now progress.

Angus Robertson MP said:

“The news that the first major offshore project in the Moray Firth has passed the final hurdle and has the final green light is great for the economies of Moray, the wider North East of Scotland and the Highlands.

“Moray is well placed to see some of the economic benefits of this multi-billion renewables projects which will support skilled jobs and more work for downstream suppliers.

“With further multi-billion projects in the pipeline for the Moray Firth the future for our harbours and for skills transfer from the Oil & Gas sector, which generates spend in our local economy, is very positive.”
