Renewables

East Kent has been selected as the optimum location for the world's first offshore windfarm to have a greater capacity than the current windfarm capacity. The £2.3 billion ‘London Array' project will provide the equivalent of 10% of the Government's 2010 renewable energy target.

Renewable energy in East Kent has clear advantages. The location has an abundant coastline with natural resources which gives it a huge potential to expand its existing capability.

The advanced infrastructure, ports and close proximity to London and Europe is vital for investors. Plus, combined with the existing national grid connections and strong workforce skills - these determining factors will help concentrate an already significant cluster of energy providers.
