Since 2022, Scottish offshore wind developers have partnered with the Scottish Government and its agencies to drive transformative supply chain growth. The Strategic Investment Model (SIM) is SOWEC's initiative in response to the 2021 Strategic Investment Assessment, ensuring strong collaboration and investment in Scotland's offshore wind industry. With all ScotWind developers committed through a signed charter, the SIM is set to amplify collaboration and unlock new opportunities. #SOWEC #RenewableEnergy

On the 13th September, SOWEC is hosting a webinar for those who want to understand the Strategic Investment Model (SIM) and its impact in Scotland, as well as those who want to understand opportunities for greater collaboration in unlocking supply chain growth. At the webinar you will hear from those closely involved in the SIM talk about progress to-date, projects being supported and lessons learnt so far.
Scotland has a globally significant offshore wind pipeline, with a number of projects set to deliver £30 billion into Scotland’s economy. To capitalise on this, Scotland needs to ensure its ports and supply chain are ready. That will require investment and commitments from future customers - the offshore wind projects. However, offshore wind projects take many years to deliver and suppliers are only contracted shortly before construction commences. Catch 22 - ports need pre-investment to be ready for build out, but contracts come too late to act as a signal. Scotland's solution is simple - collaboration. The Strategic Investment Model (SIM) involves Scottish offshore wind projects working alongside the Scottish Government and its enterprise agencies collaboratively. Offshore wind projects then work alongside a small group of port and supply chain projects to identify practical routes in which ports and supply chain companies gain confidence and certainty earlier on, opening up much needed investment.

The release of yesterday’s groundbreaking research has been making waves in the industry! The study, which explores how offshore wind projects can enhance marine biodiversity through various measures, has been picked up by STV Group plc, The Herald Scotland, BBC Good Morning Scotland, Energy Voice, reNEWS - Renewable Energy News, and more. There is a clear interest in learning more about how Scotland's wind farms can support our rich marine ecosystems while advancing renewable energy. Follow SOWEC for further updates. #NationalMarineWeek #SOWEC #RenewableEnergy

This National Marine Week, we support SOWEC's newly published research on Scottish offshore wind projects enhancing biodiversity 💚 Duncan Smart, our Senior Planning & Environmental Policy Manager and Chair of the CEMNID Project Steering Group, said: “Offshore wind will be the backbone of our clean energy future, but we also have to ensure it works for nature too. We’re really excited by the outcomes of this year-long collaborative project which provides practical outputs to support the sustainable development of offshore wind as well as recommendations to steer policy development."

Today, Wednesday 7 August, we have published groundbreaking research on enhancing biodiversity in offshore wind projects. The report, launched during National Marine Week 2024, highlights innovative measures which could benefit marine ecosystems as numerous wind farms are developed in Scotland's seas over the next decade. This initiative underscores our commitment to advancing renewable energy while safeguarding Scotland's rich marine biodiversity.
