Ex-Inch Cape project director Stephen Kerr has joined the ScotWind bid team of the Offshore Wind Power joint venture.
Kerr will lead the delivery of any project that the Green Investment Group and Renewable Infrastructure Development Group partnership secures in the leasing round up to a final investment decision.
He was previously project director for the Inch Cape offshore wind farm situated around 15km off the Angus coast, achieving initial project consents for the wind farm and transmission assets.
Kerr, who has over 30 years’ experience, also worked in the development team for the recently completed Beatrice project in the Moray Firth.
“I am delighted to be joining this highly expert team,” he said.
“In particular I look forward to working with the Scottish supply chain and wider industry specialists to ensure we drive down project costs and maximise the local economic benefits a successful project will bring.”
