The company wants to set up its centre for offshore engineering in Glasgow, creating up to 130 jobs. It is also in talks to establish a logistics and manufacturing centre in Dundee, which could add up to 170 jobs. News of the investment, which could be worth up to £40m to the Scottish economy, was confirmed at Holyrood by First Minister Alex Salmond. He said: "Scotland has the greatest natural resources for offshore renewables in Europe and this hugely significant announcement by Gamesa underlines the strength of our human resources in terms of expertise in innovation, design, manufacturing and engineering. "It is further testament to Scotland's leading role in the global development and deployment of renewables." The Spanish company aims to establish an Offshore Wind Technology Centre in Glasgow, subject to final agreements on financing.
