Shell aiming for more than 40% local content in ScotWind projects

Shell has revealed the proportion of local content it is aiming to use to build two major wind farms off the coast of Scotland.

The oil and gas giant has committed to using Scottish companies to fulfil more than 40% of its developments secured in the ScotWind leasing round.

In order to hit that objective, Melissa Read, UK business manager for offshore wind at Shell (LON: SHEL), says that discussions are already ongoing with supply chain to identify the best project design.
