Offshore Wind Infrastructure

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.

That’s why, today, a group of us met again to discuss with industry analysts how an offshore connection system might be possible – one that would then require just one connection point onshore.

The discussions were positive and productive, and will be continuing over the coming weeks – with a view to them aiding our work to ensure the full Review is held to account and not missing key evidence that may show an offshore solution is viable.

Rest assured, we remain committed to pursuing this both in Westminster and here in Norfolk.
