Renewable Energy Scotland

If you are interested in setting up a project for renewable energy in Scotland, consider Dundee first

Dundee is an ideal location for companies within, or supplying to, the emerging market for renewable energy in Scotland, whether as a base for handling biomass, CHP (Combined Heat and Power) or for offshore wind power.

What makes Dundee the ideal location for a renewable energy project in Scotland is that it combines the benefits of a city location with its integral supply chain and academic expertise, together with the benefits of a strategic industrial location with marine access.

Offshore wind power, biomass and CHP opportunities

Dundee’s Port facility is well placed to offer a cost-effective base for:

manufacturers supplying the on-shore and off-shore wind market.
companies requiring a quayside maintenance and support base for the off-shore wind market.
manufacturers supplying the emerging wave and tidal power markets.
companies requiring a quayside maintenance and support base for supporting tidal power structures located offshore.
biodiesel production.
bulk handling of biomass and CHP development.
industrial processes linked to the biomass and CHP market, eg wood pellet production.
renewable energy producers generating electricity and heat in, or near to, the Port.

Dundee is “facing Europe” for companies wishing to supply both U.K. and international markets. Transport and communication links are excellent and employers have access to a large labour pool, with half of Scotland’s population residing within a 60-mile radius of the City.
