Scottish ministers failed to get Fife workers in the running to build wind farm, Labour charges

SCOTTISH ministers failed “completely” to get Fife fabrication yards in the running for a wind farm just 10 miles off the ancient kingdom’s coast, Labour charged today.

The £2 billion Neart na Gaoithe wind farm is expected to generate electricity for around 375,000 homes.

The troubled BiFab fabrication yards in Methil and Burntisland are experienced in manufacturing jackets for offshore wind turbines.
