Projects
Since its establishment SEGEC has delivered over €110M of EU funding for low-carbon energy projects, facilitated several other key projects and continues to develop others
- €40M secured for the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre, to be located off Aberdeen. This project will have a project total of around €200M. SEGEC facilitated the funding application and collaboration between the project partners of Vattenfall, Technip and AREG. Read more....
- €74.1M secured towards a new Moray Firth Offshore HVDC hub facilitating a more optimal transmission solution for the connection of offshore and onshore renewables in far North East Scotland. This €150M project is being developed by SSE's transmission business, whose case to the regulator Ofgem for the balance of costs is significantly de-risked by the EU grant allocation. This project is part of the Caithness HVDC Connection - more information can be found here.
- CCS Regulatory Toolkit - Provided facilitation between the Global CCS Institute and the Scottish Centre for CCS to design a toolkit to help nations and regions to test their legislative, regulatory and public engagement processes in advance of receiving applications for CCS projects.

- Maldives Renewables Potential - Project support and dissemination of results.
- NorthConnect Interconnector project - SEGEC is a project partner providing support to the routing study for an interconnector between Norway and GB. With a landfall option in North East Scotland such a link has the potential to form part of a future offshore grid. Read more...
- Co-ordinating/ facilitating two separate collaborative Marine energy bids for NER300 funding: The Pentland Orkney Wave Energy Resource (POWER) Ltd and ScottishPower Renewables Sound of Islay Demonstration Tidal Array
- Carbon Capture Storage - SEGEC provided oversight comments to the Longannet CCS demonstrator project.
- Working with the Scottish and UK Government and the energy industry to influence Scottish, UK and European energy policy
All of these projects will create many local jobs, require the establishment of local supply chains, provide opportunities for dissemination of valuable knowledge gained from project delivery and contribute significantly towards Europe's green energy ambitions.
Further details of these projects will be available here shortly. In the meantime, should you have any queries, please contact ellie.jones@segec.org.uk.
