Financial Support for Investment Document Reference: CM.NFE-AMEP-OSW-29 January 2021 Introduction ABLE Marine Energy Park (AMEP). Able Marine Energy Park (AMEP) is a port development on the south bank of the Humber Estuary on the East Coast of the United Kingdom. It is a nationally significant infrastructure project (NSIP) and is recognised as a core development within the UK Government Infrastructure Roadmap. The AMEP project base case involves developing Phase 1 with 1,349m of installation quays, 4no. installation yards (78.63 ha), with an additional 139 ha for manufacturer storage. It represents a singular opportunity for the UK to establish a world-scale industrial cluster and enable the UK to maximise the economic development potential provided by the combination of the emerging market and supportive policies. Subject to market demand the development has potentially 4 phases and the site could be extended to a total of 331 ha. This document aims to provide information to assist the Offshore Wind Industry to select AMEP as either their: • Operational hub/marshalling harbour for the construction of UK and potentially European, offshore wind projects; • Port location for the establishment of meaningful supply chain activity and component manufacture. AMEP provides a strong and sustainable proposition to offshore wind farm developers and manufacturing partners within the supply chain. AMEP’s core objective is to provide a more efficient UK port facility particularly to enable the offshore renewables sector to reduce its costs and maximise efficiency and profitability. The confirmation of the major offshore wind players, as AMEP tenants will provide a significant enhancement to the regions economy and endorse the Humber as the cornerstone for the enlargement of an international scale offshore wind cluster in the UK. AMEP ultimately provides the sector with a greater opportunity to reduce its overall costs (lowering the overall costs of the delivered component) and provides very significant benefits to the local and UK economy in terms of job creation and export potential.
