Communities and Engagement
At Cerulean Winds, we’re committed to making the Aspen Floating Offshore Wind Project a source of long-term opportunity, economic benefit, and environmental progress for communities across Scotland.
Our community engagement approach is based on clear communication, early involvement, and ongoing dialogue. We aim to build constructive, professional relationships with local stakeholders to support the successful delivery of the project and maximise regional benefits.
Our Commitment to Communities
As the project progresses through development and into construction, we will:
- Host public information sessions and local drop-ins
- Provide clear, accessible materials explaining project milestones
- Offer a direct contact point for questions and feedback
We want to hear from you. Whether you’re a resident, business owner, local leader, or community group, your insights and perspectives are essential to shaping a successful and responsible project.

Delivering Local Benefits
We’re designing a Community Investment Programme that reflects the values, priorities, and aspirations of the areas closest to the Aspen Project.
In development:
- Community Benefit Fund: Support for local initiatives, services, and projects
- Education & Skills Pathways: Partnerships with colleges and schools to support STEM education and offshore energy careers
- Local Jobs & Supply Chain Opportunities: Working with Scottish ports and businesses, in particular the selected Ardersier Port, to create real economic impact.
More details will be published as the programme takes shape with your input helping guide its focus.
“We recognise that Scotland’s communities are central to the success of Aspen. This project is not only about delivering clean power, it’s about investing in people, places, and possibilities. We are here to listen, learn, and work alongside communities every step of the way.”
Colin Maciver
Senior Director, Scotland
