Scottish offshore

Post by dan_b »

The Scottish Crown Estate has just awarded offshore leases for a whopping 25GW of new wind, including a lot of floating wind farms.

Wow.

It's through energy4all that I accessed Kinlochbervie hydroturbine investment. Will keep an ear open on this one too. Kinlochbervie is a direct investment paying a traditional annual return(well it will when it finally gets going). I actually prefer Ripples method by far although I suppose one can only invest so much in Ripples current consumption % limitation.

Nonetheless, glad to see BP & Shell there too and heavily. In addition I have SSE in the portfolio so good to go on this.

There's also this from BP, Great to read that they are keeping the work in Aberdeen. I might come out of retirement for this!

There has just been a newsletter from Energy4all saying,

We are also working on the £150m “Scotwind” offshore wind project, this long-term undertaking aims to create community ownership of three offshore turbines.

I note that they were partnered with "Falck Renewables" which did wind several of the Scotwind bids, unlike Ripple who backed the wrong horse (Nextgen).
