BLYTH PUNCHING ABOVE THEIR WEIGHT
Northumberland is a world-leading centre for renewable energy with ground-breaking activities taking place in offshore wind, wave and tidal power. It is ideally placed with its marine engineering skills base and deep water port at Blyth, with nearby development opportunities, to support the supply chain engaged in the renewables sector.
WORDL LEADING FACILITIES The National Renewable Energy Centre (Narec) in Blyth has invested over £150m in world leading facilities to enable companies to test the next generation of technologies in wind, wave and tidal power. It is also part of a consortium formed to lead the Technology Strategy Boards Offshore Renewable Catapult Programme.
It is forecast that the renewable energy industry has the potential to generate around £2 billion worth of economic growth in North East England over 20 years.
DOGGER BANK PROJECT The UK offshore wind programme is the largest in the world and is expected to form half the European market in the next 10-20 years. The largest of the nine Round 3 zones (Dogger Bank) is located off the North East coastline 95 nautical miles from Blyth. This site alone is expected to produce over a third (9GW) of total offshore wind energy generated through this phase.
