Tackling climate change and long-term energy security for the future will require the delivery (and decommissioning) of new and obsolete technologies and new markets in nuclear, offshore wind and solar energy.

The Haven Gateway is uniquely placed with the most accessible deep sea port facilities close to the North Sea wind farms; Sizewell and Bradwell nuclear power stations and unique solar opportunities.

Key Facts

• Phase 3 Development of offshore wind farms is anticipated to generate some £80bn investment and up to 70,000 new jobs
• Deep water facilities at Harwich provide a unique offer and proximity to these developments being only 70 miles from the East Anglian Array wind farm
• Harwich is being used extensively to support the wind farm development of Gunfleet Sands, Greater Gabbard and Thanet

The Market

Working with Norfolk and Essex, the energy and low carbon sector is already well established and has an estimated market value of £33bn in 2009/10.  Nuclear power had an annual market value of £3.7bn scheduled to increase annually by 2.6%. North Sea wind farm development is anticipated to deliver up to 70,000 jobs and some £80bn investment.
