Auditor General Stephen Boyle said the “high risk and reward” nature of ScotWind means it is yet to be seen whether it is good value for money. ScotWind offered developers capped prices for parts of the seabed instead of going through an open auction in the aim of securing decades’ worth of lease payments, rather than maximising immediate returns. assertive
