Plans for renewable energy hub unveiled

25 May 2021 / Leith, United Kingdom

Plans have been unveiled to create Scotland’s largest renewable energy hub at the Port of Leith, to include a riverside marine berth capable of accommodating the world’s largest offshore wind installation vessels.

The proposed facility will feature a heavy lift capability of up to 100 tonnes per square metre, backed up by 35 acres of adjacent land for logistics and marshalling. A 140-acre cargo handling site will also be upgraded.

The £40m private investment will see the creation of a bespoke, riverside marine berth capable of accommodating the world’s largest offshore wind installation vessels.
