Here are the stories making the business headlines across Scotland and the UK this morning.
Scotland’s biggest offshore wind farm at full power
Scotland's biggest offshore wind farm has begun operating at full capacity, removing emissions from power supply.
Seagreen, off the Angus coast, can generate enough electricity to power two-thirds of Scotland's households.
The £3billion project, comprising 114 giant turbines, has been more than a decade in the making.
But operator SSE says the consenting time needs to be halved if there are to be enough turbines to meet the government's climate change targets.
The company says Seagreen will displace more than two million tonnes of CO2 each year, helping reduce the UK's reliance on fossil fuels for generating electricity.
‘Our customers won’t come’: Traders say George Street masterplan changes could be ‘catastrophic’ for Jopp’s Lane
Business owners on Aberdeen’s Jopp’s Lane say the city council’s proposed masterplan for George Street could be “catastrophic” for local firms.
Rachel Mearns of Aberdeen Academy of Performing Arts is annoyed that firms in the area had not been spoken to about the radical changes envisioned for the area.
Under the plan, the already narrow Jopp’s Lane could have its pavements expanded making it difficult for motorists to reach businesses.
Councillors were due to discuss the near 100-page masterplan to make George Street “bustling and vibrant” during a heated meeting but it was delayed to a future date.

Aberdeen welcomes new jack-up rig to South Harbour
The Noble Intrepid jack-up has arrived at Aberdeen’s South Harbour ahead of work with Harbour Energy.
The Port of Aberdeen welcomed the vessel into the South Harbour on Monday following a brief stint in the waters off the coast of the Granite City as it waited for the right weather conditions to be met for its arrival.
The jack-up rig has a leg length of 678 ft and sails under the flag of Singapore. Built in 2014, it has accommodation for up to 150 people.
This is the second Noble rig to come to Aberdeen’s South Harbour. In May the Noble Innovator departed the Granite City following a three-month stay.
When the Innovator left the city, Port of Aberdeen chief commercial officer, Roddy James, said the project was “a win-win for everybody involved.”
5G tech could 'revolutionise' Scotland’s whisky industry and save £30 million
Scotland’s whisky distillers could save as much as £30 million over five years by investing in "revolutionary" 5G communications technology, a new study today suggests.
The figure has emerged in an "impact report" from the Scottish Government-funded Scotland 5G Centre, which commissioned consultancy Jacobs to explore the potential use of 5G in distilleries.
It found that £376,500 of potential benefits could be realised for a medium-large distillery on an annual basis as a result of the implementation of the wireless technology.
The key findings of the report are based on research and primary data from a distillery that produces about a quarter of a million litres of whisky annually.
Researchers noted that with 146 malt and grain distilleries in Scotland producing in excess of 400 million litres per year, the installation of 5G tech could be "significant" in both modernising and future-proofing the sector - particularly for distilleries in more remote areas of the country.
