£95M offshore wind investment for Humber and Teesside ports
Two new ports will be constructed on the Humber and Teesside to build the next generation of offshore wind projects as part of a £95M investment to boost the industry and create 6,000 new jobs in the North.
Able Marine Energy Park, on the south bank of the River Humber, will receive up to £75M in government investment, and Teesworks Offshore Manufacturing Centre, on the River Tees, will benefit from up to £20M.
Construction will begin later this year to upgrade the two ports with new infrastructure.
Together the ports will have the capacity to house up to seven manufacturers to support the development of the next generation offshore wind projects.
