Shallow waters off the windy coast of the East of England

provide the arena for the multi-billion offshore wind

farms to keep the UK lit and heated for decades to come.

The region is supporting development through

construction, pre-assembly, installation and the new

growing industry of operations and maintenance (O&M).

Businesses see the attraction of being close to the

largest offshore wind market in the world. Adding to

the East of England’s unique blend of over 50 years’

offshore experience, deep water ports, land, facilities,

support, skills and solutions. It is home to many world-

leading names.

The East of England Energy Zone is a pioneering

partnership of regional business and political leaders

to smooth the way. Further incentives are available in

Enterprise Zones around the region’s ports. Grants,

technical and business support are also helping bright

ideas in offshore wind and diversifi cation from oil & gas.

The East of England Energy Group (EEEGR) connects

and works with its members, championing the east of

England energy engine room in Westminster.

The door is wide open to the UK’s largest concentration

of energy sector investment.

James Fisher Marine Services

From occupying a single offi ce in Lowestoft’s

OrbisEnergy renewables hub just two years ago, James

Fisher Marine Services has developed into one of the

region’s most infl uential offshore service providers. The

company has become James Fisher Group’s principal

focus for integrated marine consultancy, contracting

and support services in the local area.

In February 2017, after rapid growth in marine projects,

subsea and services, JFMS moved into a prominent

disused offi ce building and workshops in Lowestoft,

regenerating important industrial infrastructure and

establishing itself as a strong local employer.

Its £25m marine support contract for the £1.5bn

Galloper Offshore Wind Farm is creating more than 100

jobs at the operational base where it prepares transit

facilities for the wind farm, organises crew transfer and

supplies and manages multi-support vessels to and

from the site.

Martin Dronfi eld, Commercial Director, said: “JFMS

is proud to be part of a sustainable future delivered

through collaboration, innovation and a skilled local

workforce.”

3sun Group

Diversifi cation into offshore wind from oil & gas has

brought Great Yarmouth-based 3sun Group rapid growth

in the last seven years.

Set up 10 years ago, providing services to the oil, gas and

marine industries, more than 90% of its work today is

renewables, with more than 400 personnel working all

over the world.

Its growth came after acquiring wind turbine installation

and maintenance leader Dawson Energy in 2010,

later aided by a £10m investment from London-based

Business Growth Fund (BGF) following six years of

consistent growth.

3sun Group has invested heavily in shaping skills for the

future of the industry with its 3sun Academy and pre-

apprenticeship programme.

Its team is providing local content for the Galloper

Offshore Wind Farm, assembling its 56 6MW Siemens

turbines.

“The great thing about Lowestoft port is that it is ready to go as a base saving us time and money which makes projects competitive. As more and more projects get built offshore the capability in and around ports like Lowestoft increases so that we don’t need to worry about getting the right infrastructure, services and people when we need them.”

Toby Edmonds, innogy, Project Director of Galloper Offshore Wind Farm.

“Major infrastructure projects like ours require support during planning, construction and operations, so we need the expertise and support of a wide range of companies with a variety of skill sets.”

Charlie Jordan, Project Manager, East Anglia ONE, ScottishPower Renewables.

“What has been achieved in renewables in the East of England in places that have been crying out for new business and investment is really striking. By genuine risk taking and entrepreneurship companies have brought investment and skilled jobs to areas like Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft that needed new investment.”

Hugh McNeal, CEO RenewableUK.

“The East of England is the most relevant place in global offshore wind. It is up to us all to make the most of that opportunity.”

Jonathan Cole, Managing Director,Iberdrola Renewables Offshore.

“East Anglia is one of the best places to develop offshore wind, of anywhere in the world.”

Andy Paine, head of offshore wind development (UK), Vattenfall.

Tidal Transit

Since acquiring its fi rst crew transfer vessel in 2011,

Tidal Transit has evolved into a successful support

business for offshore wind farms. The company now has

a staff of 42, four CTVs, a survey boat, and manages the

‘game-changing’ WaveCraft Surface Effect Ship Umo

Firmus.

Tidal Transit vessels have serviced numerous UK

offshore wind farms, and its two further contracts at

Innogy’s Gwynt y Mor site should keep its vessels on

site until the 2020s. An industry ‘fi rst’ came from Umo

Firmus, which is saving 3 hours transit a day on the

Gemini Wind Farm in the German North Sea.

Commercial Director Leo Hambro said: “The next

six years will see tremendous growth in consented

and to-be-consented wind farms. Offshore wind is

already producing so much power, and with Dong’s

announcement of its fi rst subsidy-free bid, I believe that

offshore wind energy is the future.”
