To ask the Scottish Government how it is supporting current, and developing future, supply chain opportunities in the renewable energy sector.
We are working across public sector delivery partners, and with industry and the supply chain to deliver the ambition set out in the Green Industrial Strategy to realise the benefits from growing our renewables sector.
Our approach includes our strategic investment of up to £500 million over five years, expected to leverage private investment of £1.5 billion in offshore wind infrastructure and manufacturing facilities; our Just Transition Fund supporting companies to move into the renewable sector, and a commitment with the onshore wind industry to develop a specialist blade treatment facility in Scotland.
