Clowes Developments has sold off a port in Scotland, which has been earmarked as a site for renewable energy and decommissioning.
The property firm, which is based at Ednaston, has sealed the deal to sell Ardersier Port, a former fabrication yard, to business partners Tony O’Sullivan and Steve Regan for an undisclosed sum.
Described as the largest brownfield port in the UK, Ardersier Port has been identified as one of just three UK east coast sites with the size, scale, shape, and location capable of being an offshore renewable energy hub. It comprises of 450 acres onshore and a further 340 acres.
The new owners aim to use the site for both the decommissioning of redundant oil and gas infrastructure and to support Scotland’s renewable energy sector by providing fabrication and logistics facilities for offshore and fixed wind developments, as well as catering for other green energy developments such as green hydrogen.
Gordon Arthur, director at Clowes Developments, said: “We are delighted to complete the deal which will no doubt see the site prosper within the renewable energy market.”
