Scotland’s renewable energy sector, at scale

Scotland’s net zero economy now supports over 105,000 jobs and contributes £10.2 billion in Gross Value Added, spread across roughly 3,000 businesses, the large majority of them small and medium-sized. Onshore wind alone accounts for the majority of the country’s installed renewable capacity, with government ambition to reach 20GW by 2030, and offshore wind is scaling fast behind it, with several gigawatts already consented and considerably more in planning. Scottish Enterprise’s own modelling puts the investment required to deliver Scotland’s energy transition at well over £120 billion between 2020 and 2050.

That’s not background context, it’s the operating environment our clients are actually working in: fast-growing project pipelines, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and organisations scaling faster than their internal tools and processes were built to handle.

Why being based here matters

Our most significant renewable energy proof point is a Scottish one. Xi Engineering’s seismic impact assessment work, which we replaced with two purpose-built digital platforms, centres on wind farm developments around the Eskdalemuir Consultation Zone in Dumfries and Galloway, assessed against UK Ministry of Defence requirements. That’s not a generic case study we’re retrofitting to the sector; it’s Scottish renewable energy infrastructure, Scottish regulatory process, built by a Glasgow-based team who understood the stakes.

Being embedded here also means shorter feedback loops with clients, a better working understanding of the Scottish planning and consultation landscape, and genuine visibility into where the sector is heading next.

Let's Talk

Xi Engineering Case Study

Xi Engineering provides specialist engineering support to a variety of sectors. One of their key responsibilities is assessing wind farm developments within the Eskdalemuir Consultation Zone (ECZ), ensuring they don’t interfere with seismic monitoring capabilities. By digitising and streamlining a critical national infrastructure process using AI, Vidatec has helped Xi Engineering unlock new efficiencies and future-proof their services.

Why renewable energy organisations work with Vidatec

We understand technical, high-stakes complexity, our teams work directly with your engineers rather than expecting you to translate your process into generic software requirements. We design for every stakeholder in the chain, from internal teams to partners to regulators, not just the person who commissioned the project. And we bring 18+ years of turning complex ideas into products that get used, backed by a proven track record in exactly this kind of regulated, safety-conscious environment.
