Plans for significant investment in ports in South Wales to facilitate the rolling out of major floating offshore wind turbine projects in the Celtic Sea have been revealed.
Energy giant RWE has entered into a strategic partnership with Association British Ports and the Port of Milford Haven to investigate the scaling-up of port facilities in support of a pipeline of gigawatt-scale floating wind projects off the Welsh coast.
Though a memorandum of understanding (MoU) they will explore potential for transforming infrastructure at ABP’s Port of Port Talbot as well as Pembroke Dock (owned and operated by the Port of Milford Haven) into hubs for the manufacturing of high-tech floating wind turbines and foundations, bound for the Celtic Sea, as well as floating operation and maintenance capability.
