ScotWind Auction

The ScotWind Auction is a process in which the UK government grants exclusive rights to develop offshore wind farms in Scottish waters. Companies bid to secure these rights, competing through a competitive auction. The goal is to select projects that can generate clean electricity, support renewable energy targets, and stimulate economic growth. Winning bidders then obtain licenses to build and operate wind turbines, contributing to Scotland’s and the UK’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions and increase sustainable energy production.
