Offshore wind projects set to create thousands of jobs

Yesterday Iberdrola, a Spanish energy firm, chose Glasgow as its base to build the turbines for offshore wind farms creating up to 100 jobs. This follows three other job creation projects in the sector announced within the past six months, including two potential manufacturing plants in Wales and Teesside, and 200 jobs at a new research and develop site to be developed by Mitsubishi.
