Offshore wind supply chain event

4 March 2010

EEDA welcomed nearly 300 businesses and partners to the Offshore wind supply chain event on 4 March at OrbisEnergy in Lowestoft.

                                                        

The event was co-hosted with The Crown Estate, in conjunction with Renewables East, the East of England Energy Group and OrbisEnergy and was part of a series of events taking place across the UK to inform and promote the opportunities of Round 3 developments to businesses.

Background
The deployment of offshore wind is expected to accelerate over the next decade with a total potential capacity of over 40 GW currently being planned across the UK (25 GW within the Round 3 offshore wind leasing round). The challenge to deliver this programme is enormous and will make offshore wind in the UK one of the world’s largest infrastructure projects with a potential investment by 2020 of over £100 billion. These developments will produce a huge demand on the supply chain and huge business opportunities.
