The company planning to develop a £450million energy park on the Humber says the Government’s newly-announced strategy to strengthen the UK’s position in the offshore wind industry is dependent on providing the facilities which can attract major turbine manufacturers and their supply chains.

Able UK is awaiting a decision from the Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin on its plans for AMEP (Able Marine Energy Park) covering 865 acres on the South Bank of the Humber, providing state-of-the-art quayside facilities purpose-built for the manufacture, assembly and installation of offshore renewable technologies and creating 4,000 jobs directly.
