A new offshore wind manufacturing facility is set to bring a jobs boost to the Scottish town of Montrose, according to the BBC.
The plant will manufacture components for offshore wind farms located in Scottish waters, as well as for markets overseas, the report said. Details on the exact number of jobs expected to be created, the companies involved in developing the facility, or its planned opening date were not included in the available report.
Montrose, on Scotland's east coast, has positioned itself in recent years as a hub for offshore wind and renewable energy activity, benefiting from its proximity to wind farm developments in the North Sea. The BBC's report does not specify whether the new facility has received public funding or investment incentives.
Further information on the scale of the investment and the timeline for construction was not available at the time of this report.
