CEO Doug Duguid said: "In securing this welcome financial support from the Scottish National Investment Bank it means we can accelerate our transition into renewables on several fronts.
It will enhance our recruitment of people living and working in rural Scotland and allow us to be able to offer more job and training opportunities in a shorter timeframe.
Aurora have recently opened a Renewable Energy Training Centre in Inverness - the only facility of its kind in the Scottish Highlands - and have other bases in Aberdeen, Wick and Huntly dedicated to the servicing, engineering and fabrication needs of the renewables sector. "
