About this analysis

The Independent reports SSE's announcement that its Berwick Bank B offshore wind farm will support 130 new Scottish jobs, with quotes from Scottish and UK ministers, SSE and Siemens Energy. The job and capacity figures are attributed to SSE, and the article keeps Siemens Energy's caveat that the project still needs final approvals and contract award.

What it gets right

  • “While the project remains subject to final approvals and contract award”

    The article keeps the caveat that the project is not yet approved, so a reader knows the jobs depend on the project going ahead.

  • “SSE said the announcement brings the total number of UK jobs linked to Berwick Bank B to more than 3,000 so far”

    The company's job figure is attributed to SSE rather than stated as fact in the outlet's voice.

  • “It said that if built to its full capacity, Berwick Bank could be capable of meeting more than 6% of current UK electricity demand”

    The capacity claim is attributed to SSE and kept conditional on the project being built in full.
