Projects across the North East and Moray will receive a share of over £50m to accelerate the energy transition and secure jobs in the region.
A total of 22 projects will receive funding, including investments in research and innovation, new green skills training facilities, pilots for emerging energy technologies and projects that will get businesses ready for the supply chain opportunities to come from the energy sector’s transition to net zero.
The awards are the first from the Scottish Government’s Just Transition Fund, which is investing £500m over 10 years in the North East and Moray to support the region’s transition away from fossil fuels and towards a low-carbon economy.
