ScottishPower Renewables’ MachairWind offshore windfarm team has welcomed the inclusion of four Argyll & Bute businesses in a prestigious industry support programme, designed exclusively for island and coastal communities.

Offshore windfarms could be serviced by battery-powered zero-emission vessels charged from the windfarm’s very own turbines in the future, a study by leading green energy company, ScottishPower Renewables, and Stillstrom by Maersk has found.

ScottishPower Renewables’ first-ever High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) offshore converter station has been successfully installed at East Anglia THREE.

Scotland’s first commercial windfarm has been supercharged to deliver more clean energy and a bumper boost to community benefit funds.
