A director of Moray Offshore Renewables claimed last night that the new £12 million deal with Global Energy Group (Geg) could herald a “significant pipeline” of offshore wind work in the Highlands.
Dan Finch, managing director of the Moray East and Moray West projects, said firms who speculate and invest early were more likely to “reap the benefits”.
Port of Cromarty Firth announced a £30m expansion of its Invergordon facilities earlier this year, while Geg ploughed £90m into a new quay, heavy cranes and new plant equipment.
