Member News: Motive shortlisted in Scottish Green Energy Supply Chain Awards

Scottish Renewables has officially unveiled the shortlist, with Motive Offshore Group shortlisted as a finalist in the Scottish Green Energy Supply Chain Awards 2026.

This recognition in the ‘Sustainable Supplier’ category places Motive alongside 33 industry leaders, highlighting its commitment to driving innovation and sustainability within the Scottish energy sector.

The annual awards celebrate the best of a supply chain that is critical to delivering Scotland’s £15 billion renewable energy industry.

As the energy transition demands execution over ambition, the ability to deliver scalable, sustainable solutions is a clear differentiator in the supply chain.

From supporting the rapid expansion of global offshore wind to ensuring operations align with a sustainable circular economy, securing a nomination in this year’s awards reflects the organisation’s readiness to meet these demands.

With the awards ceremony set to take place later this month, it’s an opportunity to celebrate the collective progress in our industry and the shared focus driving Scotland’s green energy sector.

Jonathan Watt, CCO at Motive Offshore Group, commented:

“For us, progress towards a greener future must be achieved responsibly. At Motive, we are committed to delivering an energy transition that places equal importance on protecting the environment and supporting the safety and well-being of our people.

“Being shortlisted is a testament to our successful expansion into the Green Energy markets. That growth is driven by the collective efforts of teams across our business, whose shared commitment to safety, environmental responsibility, and operational excellence ensures we continue to lead the way.”

Get in touch

AREG is the original energy transition organisation, working on behalf of members to empower the energy supply chain and champion its expertise. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to find out more about membership.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
