Since the Energy Minister’s announcement of the full Review into improving offshore wind connectivity, my parliamentary colleagues here in the East and I have continued our campaign – with the aim of holding the Review to account and doing our utmost to get a proper strategic Plan for the delivery of this vital technology.

This morning, a group of us met with representatives of the Belgian Modular Offshore Grid to discuss how innovative technologies have been used across the North Sea to develop Offshore Grids there. Good news. The technology clearly exists. And is being used to develop 21st century offshore energy grids that both deliver much needed, clean, green energy and minimises disruption and environmental damage onshore.

Rest assured, with Parliament now sitting again after the Summer Recess, I look forward to us being able to step up our campaign even further – and will report back again with more news soon.
