“It’s great news that renewables manufacturing will create 350 green jobs in Teesside. We’ve been working tirelessly behind the scenes to help secure this investment and it’s more evidence that renewable energy is powering the economic recovery.
“Renewable energy is a vital part of our plans for keeping the lights on, reducing emissions, and creating thousands of green jobs and investment. £45 billion has been invested in the UK’s energy infrastructure since 2010 and the Energy Act will deliver 250,000 new low carbon by 2020.”
Between 2010 and 2013 £6.9 billion was invested in offshore wind and it is estimated that a further £16.2-£21.3 billion will be invested in the offshore wind sector between 2014 and 2020.
Offshore wind powers over two million UK homes and the UK is rated the best place in the world to invest in offshore wind.
