New leasing process to decarbonise oil and gas to launch next year

A leasing process for offshore wind to help decarbonise oil and gas operations is expected to open early next year.

Crown Estate Scotland, which will manage the scheme, confirmed that a further announcement is due to be made outlining additional information on the leasing process in November 2021.

It also said the process will support “small scale innovation projects” of less than 100 megawatts (MW), in addition to wind farms designed to decarbonise oil and gas.
