ScotWind bids show floating wind is more than a ‘passing interest’
A renewables expert believes the scale of interest in developing floating offshore wind in Scotland proves that the technology is more than a passing fancy.
Ralph Torr, ORE Catapult’s Floating Offshore Wind Centre of Excellence programme manager, says he expects the sector to continue growing swiftly, spurred on by ScotWind.
He said: “Making a bid into Scotland is not a cheap or easy endeavour, so it’s great to see the existing investment in floating and we only anticipate that to continue.
