Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-26976 by Gillian Martin on 30 April 2024, how it will ensure that Green Volt honours its commitment.
Answer
All Innovation and Targeted Oil and Gas (INTOG) projects are required to submit a Supply Chain Development Statement (SCDS) to Crown Estate Scotland (CES) outlining the nature and location of supply chain activity across four different project stages.
SCDSs will be updated throughout development as project specifics become clearer and as the development of the supply chain progresses.
Final SCDSs are submitted to CES just before projects secure a seabed lease. Where actual supply chain achievements, evidenced through the contracted position statement, are not in line with the final SCDS commitments, there are contractual remedies available to CES, ranging from financial penalties to revoking the ability to secure a lease.
