Mainstream Renewable Power and Siemens Financial Services (SFS) have bid into the ScotWind offshore leasing round.
The partners said that as part of the wider development consortium, Siemens Gamesa and Siemens Energy will work with them from the outset as Tier One suppliers.
“Combined, the group will create a dedicated multimillion pound fund to support its joint commitment of developing a competitive local supply chain to underpin the project’s development,” they said.
SFS equity chief executive Steffen Grosse said: “This presents a unique supply chain-led consortium, combining the extensive offshore wind development experience of Mainstream and SFS with world leading equipment suppliers in Siemens Gamesa and Siemens Energy.
“Our consortium’s track record of success means we can deliver on our clear plan to drive forward Scotland’s green energy transition supported by the transformation of the local Scottish supply chain.”
Mainstream chief executive Mary Quaney (pictured) said: “Mainstream’s strong commitment to community engagement in Scotland is central to what made the Neart na Gaoithe offshore wind farm a success.
“We’ve set the bar high, and with a highly experienced local team and Centre of Excellence in Edinburgh, we’re perfectly placed to deliver the next era of offshore wind for the Scottish economy, supply chain and communities.”
