Thistle Wind Partners (TWP) is committed to proactively developing the local supply chain and providing opportunities for market entrants, supporting early-stage STEM engagement in Scottish schools, and collaborating with academia on meeting the technology challenges of the future.
We have published two initial Supply Chain Development Statements, which detail how we plan to source products, materials, and people across the full lifecycle of our projects. In these documents (published in April 2022), we outlined two scenarios for the wind farms:
- A baseline scenario for spending a combined £1.6 billion in developing both project sites (prior to commissioning)
- And a more ambitious scenario to secure £2.4 billion of supply chain contracts for both projects during this period (up to 2033).
These scenarios are our best estimates to date, based upon forecasting of future supply chain development in Scotland. In April 2023, we will publish an updated Supply Chain Development Statement based upon our engagement with supply chain and analysis of the wider economic climate.
Ensuring that we can leverage the best of Scotland’s ground-breaking offshore R&D, we are also launching and inviting partnerships with academic institutions and technology development hubs.
