The slide pack from the Scottish Renewables (SR) virtual Wet Storage/Inshore Anchorage: Legal & Licensing workshop are now available. The workshop was developed and facilitated by BVG Associates in collaboration with SR. We prepared a series of expert speakers on the subject from the Scottish Government's Marine Directorate- Licensing Operations Team (MD-LOT), Scottish Offshore Wind Ports Alliance (SOWPA), Burness Paull LLP, Thistle Wind Partners (representing the North East and East Ornithology Group NEEOG) and Offshore Solutions Group. Speakers offered their perspectives on licensing requirements and the current state of play in the context of the SG MD-LOT’s draft website text for the storage and assembly of turbines, which SR provided a response to and is currently under review. https://lnkd.in/etxMDjVP

Unlike yesterday, there is no Bonus behind today's newly unlocked window. Instead it's another insight into what makes us tick, the things that interest us and what makes us most hopeful for the future. https://lnkd.in/e26Yc7f9

You'll have the right strategy to open today's window - if you opened yesterday's window of course! https://lnkd.in/e26Yc7f9
