BP pledges £10bn spending spree if ScotWind bid comes good
Energy giant BP will make Aberdeen the centre of its global offshore wind business as part of a £10billion spending spree if it secures a lease to install and manage turbines in the North Sea.
The company’s global offshore wind centre of excellence would be the centrepiece of a massive investment across Scotland.
BP and its partner, German energy company EnBW, have submitted a bid for the E1 lease through ScotWind, the first offshore wind leasing round in Scottish waters for more than a decade.
