The national offshore wind supply chain cluster for Scotland, the Clean Energy Cluster, will take up the role of supporting companies to access the offshore wind market. The DeepWind cluster is handing its membership over to the new cluster as part of a plan to expand the breadth and depth of support for the offshore wind supply chain in Scotland. 
Operating across the whole of Scotland they are seeking to build upon the area’s well-established strengths by developing the supply chain and workforce in support of the commitments in the Offshore Wind Sector Deal. Their vision for 2030 is for Scotland to become home to a thriving, comprehensive, internationally competitive offshore energy supply chain serving local, national and international projects.

The Clean Energy Cluster already represent supply chain businesses from across Scotland. Their aim is to:

• Develop and promote a national supply chain.
• Support Scottish companies to access the Scottish, UK and international markets.
• Work closely with Scottish Development International to attract offshore wind related inward investment into Scotland.
• Work with national education bodies, colleges and universities to help develop an offshore wind related skilled workforce.
• Work closely with the Scottish Offshore Wind Energy Council (SOWEC) to help maximise supply chain and employment opportunities in Scotland.
