Chinese wind turbine manufacturer Ming Yang Smart Energy will invest up to 1.5 billion pounds ($2 billion) to build a wind turbine manufacturing facility in Scotland which could create up to 1,500 jobs, it said on Friday.

Ming Yang said the project would be built in three phases with the first a 750 million pound investment creating a facility to manufacture wind turbine blades and nacelles, with first production by late 2028.

The second phase would expand the facility so it can serve the floating offshore wind industry, the company said. Phase three would include manufacturing control systems, electronics and other key components.

"We firmly believe that by moving forward with our plans to create jobs, skills and a supply chain in the UK, we can make this country the global hub for offshore wind technology," Aman Wang, Ming Yang's UK CEO said in a press release.

The company said a number of sites have been chosen with Ardersier Port near Inverness its current preferred location.
