Forth Ports will make a £50-million private investment in infrastructure at the Port of Leith after securing the foundation marshalling contract for the 1.1GW Inch Cape offshore wind farm.
Last year there were no successful bids for offshore wind projects under the government's Allocation Round (AR) scheme in what was largely seen to be wake-up call for the sector, but this year was a different story.
The fate of billions of pounds worth of renewables projects will be determined today as the results of the third offshore wind auction round are announced.
The giant Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm project has announced it has received consent from the Scottish Government to reduce the number of turbines at the site.
