INTRODUCTION


WIND ENERGY NETWORK SKILLS GAP INITIATIVE


We continue in this edition with 2 areas of interest...


• A general area where educational establishments are making considerable progress


• Our next target area – Universities


‘SPOTLIGHT ON’ THE EAST OF SCOTLAND


Our regional focus in this edition features the East of Scotland. We visited the area recently and there is a very positive atmosphere.


As you will see it is a very substantial feature and the overall theme is one of excitement and forward thinking which will ensure Scotland is at the forefront of the wind energy industry – other specific areas of Scotland are planned for future editions.


MOVING ON We keep hearing of companies and organisations merging, taking on staff and also moving to larger offices, which is great news for the industry generally.


We don’t like to miss out so we have moved too! – hence the new image of your editor in front of our new offices.


ENERGY BILL AND THE GREEN INVESTMENT BANK With the recent publication of the Government’s Energy Bill and the official launch of the Green Investment Bank, the industry has certainly been given a substantial boost.


We have received many comments from various organisations so we have selected the most informative to give our readership a balanced view within the industry in this edition’s lead article.


SERVICING OFFSHORE WINDFARMS FEATURE – PART 1 We have received so much interest to this subject area that we decided to split the feature in to 2 separate parts. The breadth of services and skills available by the companies involved is considerable.


UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE (UXO) Rather a daunting subject area and one which we were asked to cover because of its importance within the industry. As well as the subject area giving us a great cover image we feature articles and guidance from our experts on the necessary tasks involved.


MAGAZINE AND WEBSITE INTERACTION – QR CODES You will notice that we have changed our pink and green flashes indicating more information online. QR codes have been substituted which means that you can scan the code with your smart phone and it will direct you to the featured company/ organisation micropage held within our website so that can learn much more in all sorts of formats.


WIND INDUSTRY CAREERS (WIC) STEERING GROUP Our industry steering group met for the first time during RenewableUK’s event in Glasgow recently. Strathclyde University was the very apt venue for the inaugural meeting and we pass on our thanks for all present.


The first meeting was merely to discuss the issues and set policy for moving forward – notes on our discussions will be circulated in due course with a further meeting scheduled for February 2013 in London. We will keep you informed on further developments.
