SPOTLIGHT ON WEST OF SCOTLAND


A VERY STRONG POSITION IN THE WEST OF SCOTLAND


Following a visit by Scotland’s Finance minister John Swinney to Inverclyde on 27th August 2012, the Greenock Telegraph reported that:


WIND ENERGY


The wind sector, both onshore or offshore, needs ports, infrastructure and connectivity to prosper and reduce costs. The Inverclyde area (Greenock and Port Glasgow being its largest towns), renowned for its manufacturing, shipbuilding, engineering and IT successes, and its readily adaptable workforce, is an ideal mobile investment location in the West of Scotland.


Inverclyde Bill Nicol


AMBITION Bill Nicol, CEO, stated “Riverside Inverclyde


is an ambitious Urban Regeneration Company with strong local partnerships and a track record of successful delivery. Companies attracted to Inverclyde such as the expanding, onshore wind farm developer 2020 Renewables, and Jenda Energy, involved in projects such as the Beatrice Demonstrator Project offshore, are testament to what we can contribute to a successful wind energy sector. We look forward to contributing further with the superb facilities we can provide, only 20 minutes from Glasgow Airport.”

Ed Davey MP, UK Secretary of State for Energy & Climate Change learns about Inverclyde’s renewables proposition from Riverside Inverclyde’s Neil Lochiel at Scottish Renewables Annual Conference, March 2013


The minister said Inverclyde looks to be “very strongly positioned” to be a hub for west coast renewable energy manufacturing. “The government has investment resources to support renewables development, and we will do so…. It’s good there is a very focused approach being taken by all of the groups involved to make sure Inverclyde is ready for that opportunity.”


RIVERSIDE INVERCLYDE


Riverside Inverclyde’s regeneration of the waterfront area is providing cost effective, high quality solutions - from companies seeking a small presence in Scotland, to benign waters’ testing, to a bespoke regional HQ, to quayside deep water and dry dock facilities, to large scale manufacturing and assembly operations – that will help drive both the sector forward and exploit Inverclyde and the West of Scotland’s potential.
