Mark Baxter, project director of Caledonia offshore wind farm, said: “As the leading offshore wind developer in Scotland with two major offshore wind farms generating clean power and our Caledonia project in the pipeline, our centre of operations is in the north-east of Scotland.
“With operations bases in Buckie and Fraserburgh we are proud to be supporting the energy and jobs transition, contributing to long term economic prosperity of the region through direct employment and the regional supply chain.
“We recognise the importance of supporting a range of pathways into the offshore wind sector including enthusing our young people about the sector. We have supported a range of school programmes across the north-east working with partners in SSERC and DYW and are delighted with the positive response to our engagement with schools and pupils.
“As a business, we rely on healthy communities and the commitment of the people in the communities around us. We’d encourage everyone to consider which community organisation or individual deserves recognition and nominate them as one of our local heroes.”
