The company will invest up to £100m over the next five years to create the ‘Centre for Advanced Technology’ within the Edinburgh area.
According to MPSE, the development of this technology will make Britain/Scotland a key player in the offshore wind supply chain, potentially leading to the development of manufacturing capacity delivering to the Scottish, UK and European markets.
First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond said that Scotland boasts a world-class research and development base that is pioneering technologies which will have a global impact on combating climate change.
"Mitsubishi Power Systems Europe’s announcement of £100m investment capitalizes on Scotland’s strengths in innovation and offshore energy generation," Salmond said.
