Renewable energy is an important part of the future for Dundee and the broader local economy, encompassing wind, marine and hydro energy, as well as bio, solar and geothermal energy. There are a growing number of businesses in Dundee who are either currently involved or are seeking to engage in the renewable sector.
Dundee benefits from a unique strategic position well served by transportation facilities that easily link land based road and rail networks directly to the North Sea and the International and World shipping routes.
Dundee Port owned by Forth Ports PLC is one of Scotland's main port and berthing facilities. It is one of the only renewables locations in Scotland to have the benefit of being an existing, commercial port facility with cranage and cargo handling on the quayside, with prime land available for development by renewable energy companies.
