Four more companies have been given backing from a fund which aims to support the renewable energy sector in the North East.
The North of Tyne Combined Authority’s Technology, Innovation and Green Growth for Offshore Renewables (TIGGOR) programme has given grants totaling £800,000 to TechnipFMC, FES International, Kinewell Energy, and Enshore Subsea. The grants take money awarded from the fund above £2m.
The programme is part of the North of Tyne’s wider strategy for energy, green growth and climate change, with the grants coming a week after a taskforce was launched which aims to make the Tyne a world leader in the renewables and offshore sector.
