A delay in the construction of a £250million floating windfarm off Stonehaven has hit a Highland port that had expected to create up to 200 jobs supporting the project.
Last night, Kishorn Port Limited (KPL), which spent £1million preparing the west coast site, said it still hoped to secure the contract for the Kincardine Offshore Windfarm Limited (KOWL) development after being told its Spanish backer was “reconsidering its methodology”.
KOWL, set up by Scotland’s former deputy first minister Lord Nicol Stephen, received Scottish Government consent for the eight turbine windfarm, nine miles offshore, in March.
