Marine Scotland has awarded a contract to ABPmer, a recognised marine planning specialist, to prepare scoping documents to support the development of floating wind (or other possible future deep water wind technologies) in Scottish waters.

The Scottish Government has set a range of challenging targets for renewable energy which include the potential for offshore energy generation (wind, wave and tidal power) in Scottish waters. To assist in meeting these targets, it is developing Sectoral Marine Plans for Offshore Renewable Energy.
