Chinese fabricator to supply foundations for Moray West

China’s Dajin Heavy Industry has signed a contract to manufacture and supply monopiles for the Moray West offshore wind farm.

The award – the value of which was not specified – will see Dajin build and deliver 48 XXL monopile foundations using steel sourced from Chinese mills, the first of which is already in production.

However, the move to send more work for Moray West abroad was decried by local union organisers, who labelled it “another chapter in the sorry story of Scotland and renewables jobs.”
