Vestas Wind Systems A/S is looking at Scotland for a new wind turbine factory, reviving its plans to expand in the UK after the country significantly raised support prices for the offshore wind industry.
Vestas is talking to officials for an area that has “immediate access to the sea and close to a large harbor that could very well be in Scotland,” Chief Executive Officer Henrik Andersen said in a phone interview Thursday. The Danish wind-energy firm had earlier said it would reconsider expansion in the UK after an auction for offshore wind failed to attract any bids.
