Developers behind four projects that were awarded offshore wind leases in Scotland will provide GBP 900,000 (approximately EUR 1 million) in funding to enable the University of Highlands and Islands (UHI) to extend its STEM outreach programme to primary schools beyond the Highland Council area.

The funding is led by the West of Orkney Windfarm, a joint venture between Corio Generation, TotalEnergies and RIDG, alongside Thistle Wind Partners, a partnership between DEME, Qair, and Aspiravi; Floating Energy Allyance and their Buchan Offshore Wind project; and Ossian, a joint venture project led by SSER, Marubeni, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP).
