Construction to start this year on two wind turbine ports

Two new ports on the Humber and on Teesside to build the next generation of offshore wind projects will be constructed as part of a £95m Government investment expected to create 6,000 new jobs in the North.

The investment supports the Government target to quadruple the UK’s offshore wind capacity to produce 40GW of energy from offshore wind by 2030 – enough to power every home in the country.

Once complete, the two ports will have the capacity to support the development of up to 9GW of energy offshore wind projects each year – enough electricity to power around 8m homes.
