Network charging in need of major reform

“Although we’ve had some massive successes and a number of projects have been able to get out of the blocks, deployment of offshore wind in Scotland has been slow,” says Adam Morrison, head of Ocean Wind’s (OW) Moray West Offshore Wind Farm.

By the end of the decade, Holyrood hopes to have 11 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind capacity installed in Scottish waters.

As it stands, Scotland has around 900 megawatts (MW) of operational offshore wind and although a number of new projects are under construction, including OW’s Moray East development, there is still a significant gulf that needs to be overcome.
