Grimsby offers:
- direct access to the world’s largest offshore wind farms
- the UK’s largest port capable of handling major projects
- leadership in wind power, marine renewables and bioenergy
- proven expertise in engineering and construction
Grimsby is just 10-50 miles from existing and planned wind farms off the Lincolnshire coast in the North Sea, where up to 4,000 more turbines are planned. This proximity has led to significant interest from operations and maintenance (O&M) providers, major manufacturers and component suppliers. Two of the largest players in offshore wind, Centrica and Siemens, have chosen to base their O&M teams in Grimsby.
Grimsby is emerging as a key player in the renewable energy revolution with potential to become the UK capital of the offshore wind industry.
