To ask the Scottish Government what communication it has had with Vestas regarding its reported plans for a facility to construct turbine blades in Leith, inside the Forth freeport zone.
We are continuing to engage with Vestas around potential investment into Scotland. The former First Minister met with the CEO of Vestas on 3 April 2024. A further meeting between the First Minister and the CEO is due to take place in September 2024.
Officials from the Scottish Government and our agencies also meet with the company regularly.
