    Wind power is an integral part of the UK Government’s climate change initiative; with the recognition that offshore wind power in particular has the potential to generate a significant amount of the energy needed by the UK itself in coming years. The London Array project forms part of a 7 gigawatt series of projects in the UK, which when complete will provide the energy equivalent to the needs of 7% of the UK¥. Supplying coatings to the London Array is the latest step in AkzoNobel’s experience in the offshore wind power market.

  • Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering
    Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering BUSINESS IS 2 Building Offshore Wind in England Ministerial Foreword Offshore wind is a UK success story and the UK is open for business. The UK is the world leader in offshore wind. We have more offshore wind installed than anywhere else in the world. We are an island nation, blessed with strong winds and shallow seas – and this energy resource is on our doorstep. We are determined to move to cleaner electricity generation and offshore wind has an important role to play in our long term plan for a balanced, low carbon energy mix. I want the UK to secure the economic benefits of this new industry. Through our offshore wind industrial strategy, the Government is committed to working in partnership with business to build a competitive, innovative UK supply chain for offshore wind, delivering jobs and economic growth. Building a strong supply chain needs the commitment and expertise of local partners, working alongside central government to support businesses who want to invest here. The Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering (CORE) partnership offers an integrated and cooperative approach between Government and Local Enterprise Partnerships in England, to provide the best possible support to businesses choosing England as an investment location. The Rt Hon Matthew Hancock MP Minister of State for Business, Enterprise and Energy CORE brings together the relevant expertise from UK Central Government and the six major investment hubs in England to support business growth and showcase opportunities for foreign direct investment (FDI) for the offshore wind sector.
