The Humber estuary - the UK's offshore-wind gateway

Location

Grimsby & the Humber.

A 5.75-acre site in North-East Lincolnshire, between the Port of Grimsby and the Port of Immingham - inside the UK's largest operational offshore-wind cluster.

UK's energy estuary

Where Britain's offshore wind comes ashore.

The Humber generates 35% of the UK's operational offshore-wind capacity and holds 80% of the country's licensed CO₂ storage. It's the national centre of gravity for decarbonisation - and the natural home for a plant that turns end-of-life blades back into infrastructure-grade material.

  • Deep-water port access at Grimsby and Immingham
  • Within the Humber industrial decarbonisation cluster
  • Co-located with operators, OEMs and decommissioning specialists

Why Grimsby

Built where Britain's offshore wind comes ashore.

Grimsby and the Humber sit at the centre of the UK's clean-industrial future. We've secured a 5.75-acre site in North-East Lincolnshire, between the Port of Grimsby and the Port of Immingham, inside the wider Humber offshore wind cluster - one of the UK's most strategically important clean-energy regions.

Vision

The FEC Grimsby facility.

A purpose-built, solar-clad plant designed around the circular process - receiving blades on one side, dispatching ultra-low-carbon boards on the other.
