Scottish Renewables Outlines Green Energy Workforce Strength in New Report

Scottish Renewables has published its latest Supply Chain Impact Statement, an annual report highlighting the diverse network of organisations supporting the delivery of clean energy infrastructure throughout Scotland.

Now in its seventh edition, the document underscores the scale and geographic reach of the Scottish supply chain, spanning from the Borders and the Central Belt to island communities, and emphasises its role in advancing the country's renewable energy targets.

Utilising regional skills and industrial capabilities, Scottish firms are delivering highly specialised services across a wide range of renewable technologies. This includes onshore and offshore wind, solar power, and marine energy. Hundreds of businesses—varying from marine experts and training providers to mooring specialists and civil engineering firms—are actively engaging with the commercial opportunities presented by the renewable energy market.

This year's publication features 36 distinct organisations, collectively representing more than 5,000 jobs. Examples of the featured companies include:

• Amos Beech: A workplace design consultancy that develops sustainable office environments utilising materials designed to reduce carbon emissions or undergo recycling.

• Apollo: An engineering and advisory consultancy operating within the energy sector, possessing specific expertise in marine renewable energy.

• Ithica: An independent film studio specialising in cinematic storytelling for organisations across the industrial and renewable energy sectors.

• Jones Bros Civil Engineering: A major UK civil engineering firm delivering infrastructure solutions for renewable energy projects nationwide.

• MB Plant: A family-owned business that provided vehicle, plant, and access equipment hire to the offshore oil and gas sector for over 30 years before transitioning to serve the renewable energy industry.

• Terra Mechanica Maris: A specialist provider of offshore drilling support, mechanical maintenance, and fabrication services for the renewable energy market.

The publication of the statement received backing from several document sponsors, including CMS, EDF Power Solutions UK and Ireland, Fred. Olsen Renewables, Ocean Winds, ORE Catapult, Tarmac, and The Clean Energy Cluster.

Claire Mack, Chief Executive of Scottish Renewables, said: "This year's edition of the Supply Chain Impact Statement showcases the breadth and depth of activity throughout Scotland's diverse supply chain right now, driven by major investment in renewable energy projects.

"Over the last seven years we have tracked the growth of suppliers working across wind, hydrogen, solar and marine energy as they expand their skills, grow their teams and adapt to new challenges, from deeper waters and larger turbines to complex regulatory demands.

"Despite an uncertain project pipeline, these companies continue to innovate and evolve, playing a critical role in consenting, designing, building and operating the clean energy infrastructure that powers homes and industries across the UK.

"Our latest Supply Chain Impact Statement demonstrates that with the right policy and regulatory support to secure the project pipeline, developers and suppliers across the energy sector can continue to deliver lasting value for Scotland's workforce, industrial capabilities and economy."
