Offshore Wind
We are creating the largest hub of renewable energy manufacturers and their supply chains in the Humber. The opportunity The Humber provides the best location to access to all three of the UK’s largest wind farms. 80% of all North Sea offshore wind farms and 60% of the entire European market (2020) are within 12 hours steaming. Grimsby, closest to the mouth of the Humber, is already established as an operations and maintenance base and is servicing Rounds 1 and 2 offshore wind farms through Centrica, RES and Siemens who have chosen to locate here.
