Almost two-thirds of companies in Scotland’s clean energy supply chain are investing in skills, capabilities, and facilities to prepare for growth in the renewable sector over the next three to five years, according to new data from Scottish Renewables.

The findings come from the trade body’s sixth annual Supply Chain Impact Statement, released on April 30, which surveyed more than 370 members. While 64% of respondents are investing in future readiness, 60% said current UK and Scottish market conditions do not support competitive access to renewable energy contracts, Scottish Renewables noted.
