SPONSORS OF REGIONAL FOCUS


ENERGI COAST


A group of 20 of North East England’s leading energy sector companies have invested almost £400million in their operations to help realise the region’s ambition to become a global hub for offshore renewable energy solutions


The companies have now formed Energi Coast, North East England’s Renewables Group, to promote the extensive expertise of the region’s offshore renewables sector and secure a proportion of the multi-billion pound global market.


“North East England has the potential to become a global hub for the offshore renewables industry,” says Alex Dawson, Chairman of Energi Coast and Chief Executive of group member TAG Energy Solutions.


“Having already substantially invested in offshore renewables, the region’s supply chain has signalled it intentions to be a serious player in the global market.”


NOF ENERGY


Energi Coast, which has been brought together by UK energy sector business support organisation NOF Energy, will promote the wide-ranging capabilities of the region’s integrated supply chain in servicing the offshore renewables market in the UK and internationally.


The group will also showcase the unique, comprehensive ‘balance of plant’ offering that exists in the region as well as the strong track-record of its members for collaborative working.


INVESTING IN THE NORTH EAST


It will also highlight the benefits of investing in North East England to aid the growth of the offshore renewables supply chain.


“The region is home to a collection of extremely innovative and successful companies that have blazed a trail for North East England’s supply chain in the oil & gas sector and are already expanding their expertise into offshore renewables,” said Joanne Leng, Director of Business Development at NOF Energy and Deputy Chair of Energi Coast.


“As green energy resources become an established part of the required balanced energy mix, North East England companies have the capabilities to secure a significant proportion of the market, both domestically and globally.”


£200M COMBINED TURNOVER


Energi Coast companies currently have a combined turnover of more than £200million in offshore wind. This figure is forecast to double as the offshore renewables market expands, which will have a significant impact on the region’s economy and supporting supply chain.


The group’s members currently employ around 6,000 people, which are forecast to grow by 30 percent as Round 3 offshore wind activities gather pace.
