SSE has contracted Siemens Energy to manufacture wind turbines and substation platforms for Berwick Bank B, the latest phase of its offshore wind farm, Downing Street said in a statement quoted by The Guardian.
Downing Street said the phase would support 2,677 skilled jobs in manufacturing, engineering and project delivery across northern England and Scotland. Those include 130 new project delivery roles in Glasgow and Montrose.
The full Berwick Bank project, off Scotland’s east coast, could meet more than 6% of current UK electricity demand at full capacity, Downing Street said. That is a projection for the whole project, not a measure of electricity it is generating.
