CS Wind will build a new offshore tower manufacturing facility in Campbeltown, Scotland as a result of a multi-million pound investment from DONG Energy. This investment will give DONG Energy preferred access rights to towers for its offshore wind farms.
The facility will be located adjacent to CS Wind's current onshore facilities. It will be able to produce at least 50 towers a year and 70 jobs will be safeguarded as a result. The investment will enable the contract for the first 95 towers built by CS Wind, which Siemens Wind Power has agreed to take.
