Crown Estate Scotland has invited offshore wind developers to put forward project proposals for the leasing of seabed to reduce UK North Sea emissions and boost innovation.
Under the Innovation and Targeted Oil and Gas (INTOG) offshore wind leasing process, which is separate to the ScotWind leasing round for commercial scale wind projects in Scottish waters, developers can apply for the rights to build small-scale innovative offshore wind projects, of less than 100MW, and projects which will provide green electricity to oil and gas infrastructure.
Platform electrification, which INTOG will help deliver, will reduce North Sea oil and gas emissions while also supporting new skills and jobs. Taken as a whole, INTOG will play a significant role in helping us reach net-zero and meet our energy requirements of the future.
