To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of the potential for public equity stakes in future offshore wind developments. Within the Green Industrial Strategy, published on 11 September 2024, we set out how the people of Scotland will see maximum benefits from Scotland’s energy transition, including identifying Scotland’s wind economy as one of the five opportunity areas.Our public bodies already invest commercially in projects that will support the energy transition, for example the Scottish National Investment Bank provided a £50m credit facility alongside £50m from the UK Infrastructure Bank to accelerate the Ardersier port development.
