The findings of our supply chain survey are now live - Mapping Offshore Wind Capabilities in Scotland. This report aims to identify supply chain companies either active and supporting the sector already or those exploring the possibility of becoming active in the sector, with analysis on capabilities and the benefits to local communities. Our questionnaire aimed to map the capabilities of the Scottish offshore wind supply chain by collecting data from companies actively involved, previously involved, or those exploring opportunities to enter the sector. The survey identified the services offered, project experience, and economic impact of companies currently contributing to offshore wind, as well as those with potential to support the growing sector. Ultimately, the goal is to position Scotland as a leading destination for offshore wind by showcasing regional companies, particularly along the east coast, and enhancing engagement within the supply chain.

Forth and Tay Cluster
Renewable Energy Semiconductor Manufacturing
Powering Scotland's East Coast
About us
Forth & Tay Offshore (FTO), one of eight UK offshore wind clusters, was established to drive the growth of offshore energy on the east coast of Scotland. We’re seeking to build upon the area’s well-established strengths by developing its supply chain and workforce in support of the commitments in the Offshore Wind Sector Deal. Our vision for 2030 is for the region to become home to a thriving, comprehensive, internationally competitive offshore energy supply chain serving local, national and international projects. MISSION The Forth & Tay Offshore Cluster’s mission is to accelerate and further the growth of the offshore energy sector on the east coast of Scotland through a series of activities designed to support innovation, collaboration, investment in skills, and market awareness amongst relevant businesses. It will also work to attract inward investment from leading developers and suppliers and to make Forth and Tay the location of choice for supply chain investments. AIMS & OBJECTIVES The cluster will: • Promote the regional supply chain to prospective customers – developers and Tier one package managers - in the offshore wind sector and develop collaborative working across the industry • Promote the area as the destination of choice for new investments in the UK offshore energy supply chain • Work with our world-renowned colleges and universities to deliver innovative new solutions within the sector, while continuing to develop and promote the skills required to meet the sector’s needs • Share and develop knowledge of the offshore wind sector to enable the supply chain to capitalise on all opportunities • Support members who want to compete for contracts across the UK and internationally • Develop the business case for infrastructure investment which will enhance the cluster’s offshore proposition as one of the UK’s prominent renewable energy hubs.

Well…this was a first for me and a relatively unusual occurrence for people who know me😳 I was first here this morning at Floating Offshore Wind in Aberdeen… all by myself… Don’t worry though, it was short lived as we had a great crowd at the Scottish Clusters networking breakfast with Deepwind and Forth and Tay Cluster . Thank you to Scottish Renewables and RenewableUK. What a great way to kick off the conference and exhibition😉 Ps I did speak too but no pics which is probably not a bad thing 😁 Emma Harrick Paul O'Brien Rachel Dickie #FloatingWind24 #offshorewind #renewables
