Doosan Power Systems will enter into the Scottish wind power business with an investment of up to GBP 170 million over the next ten years, supported by Scottish Enterprise. Upon completion, the project is expected to make a substantial contribution to Scotland’s expanding wind industry and help promote Scotland’s position as a global hub of renewable excellence over the years. Doosan and Scottish Enterprise have agreed to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expand Doosan’s operations in Scotland. The company intends to locate its R&D Centre of Excellence for Renewables at its present site at Westway in Renfrew, with support from Scottish Enterprise. A second phase will bring forth a further proposal for the establishment of assembly and manufacturing plants in Scotland. Doosan Power Systems currently offers a 3MW wind turbine product and is developing a 6MW+ version for off-shore applications.
