ABLE UK
Said Able UK Executive Chairman Peter Stephenson “We are delighted that the Minister has had the opportunity to see for herself how we have progressed since Mr Pickles marked the start of the work last August.
“The awarding of the grant for the infrastructure programme was a huge vote of confidence in our ambitions to provide at AMEP the full range of facilities needed by the renewable energy industries, not only creating over 4,000 direct jobs but acting as a catalyst for establishing the Humber as the ‘Energy Estuary’ of the UK.”
TIMESCALE EXPECTATIONS Work on the site preparation will continue over the coming months, with construction of the quays expected to get underway by summer of next year—before which Able aim to confirm a first tenant for the site.
FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY Cllr Liz Redfern, Leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said “The Under Secretary of State’s visit today is a fantastic opportunity to highlight the development happening in the Humber. With work already well underway on site, the Able Marine Energy Park will play a major role in transforming the economy of the South Humber Bank and will see North Lincolnshire become the centre for UK offshore wind.
“The project will initially create over 4,000 direct jobs, as well as attract brand new industry into the South Humber Bank and new growth opportunities for our manufacturing and engineering sectors.
HUMBER CONFIDENCE
“The Government’s support is clear having already invested £15m through the Enterprise Zone Grant on this project and a further £132m in the improvements of A160 and a further £22.7m in Local Growth Fund monies. This shows their confidence in the Humber leading the way in offshore wind and renewables, and their recognition for the council's and Able UK’s vision for the area.”
REACHABLE AMBITIONS Local Growth Minister Penny Mordaunt said “The Humber Enterprise Zone has an ambition to become a world-class centre for renewable energy. The work I’ve seen here today convinces me that ambition is well within reach.
“The Able Marine Energy Park will deliver a massive boost to the local economy, attracting top-class businesses and creating thousands of jobs for hard- working people. It’s why we invested £15 million to get this development off the ground and I’m extremely pleased to see the impact that funding has had. It’s yet another example that our long-term economic plan is on track, delivering benefits to local communities.”
