GWYNT Y MÔR Offshore Wind Farm Limited can confirm that the Port of Mostyn in North Wales will be the base for its wind turbine installation programme. All 160 turbines will be installed from the Port on the Flintshire coast, and follows an announcement last year that Mostyn will benefit from the construction of an operations and maintenance base for all three of RWE npower renewables wind farms in Liverpool Bay, North Hoyle, Rhyl Flats and once complete Gwynt y Môr.
At least 100 new, long term skilled engineering jobs will be available at the port to staff the new base. Work to create the new facilities could see more than 120 additional personnel onsite during the construction phase, bringing a boost to the local economy.
