On the back of the AR6 announcements today, significant government support has been shown for projects in the region and EastWind would like to congratulate East Anglia THREE, East Anglia TWO and Hornsea 3. These announcements demonstrate the hard work put into these projects by the development teams and endorse this region as one of the leading offshore wind clusters in the country. It is clear that as a sector we play a key role in the governments ambitions to reach its net zero targets which provides a level of certainty for those working across the industry moving forward. What does this mean for our region? 👉 Confidence in project pipeline 👉 Opportunity for the supply chain to prepare for delivery 👉 Certainty around the skills requirements 👉 Positions the region as an attractive proposition for inward investment ScottishPower Renewables | Ørsted | EEEGR (East of England Energy Group) #AR6 #OffshoreWind

🚨 RWE's Scroby Sands to provide £10,000 sponsorship to Caister Lifeboat to cover fundraising costs. The sponsorship will be put towards the expenses for each of Caister Lifeboat's four events, held through the year. The events are a major part of their fundraising, which goes into the day-to-day running of the lifeboats and station. The Caister Volunteer Lifeboat Service is an independent lifeboat station run entirely by volunteers and the only independent lifeboat station in the UK that operates both an all-weather lifeboat and an inshore lifeboat. 🗣 Philip Croston-Clegg, Scroby Sands Offshore Wind Farm General Manager said "RWE is committed to giving back to the community and supporting initiatives that make a real difference in people's lives. Our operational staff are regular sea users, sailing in vessels off the Great Yarmouth coast in all weathers, in order to maintain our fleet of turbines. Sponsorship of Caister Lifeboat allows us to directly contribute to the safety and well-being of our community members who rely on the lifeboat service in times of need.” #EastWind #RWE #EWOC

Welcome boosts for UK Energy Sector Skills England and Great British Energy, two groundbreaking initiatives of the new government that promise to transform the energy landscape and workforce development across the UK, align perfectly with EEEGR’s mission and ambitions. EEEGR is revitalising its Skills for Energy Steering Group, where contractors, developers, local authorities and educational organisations can discuss holistically the approach to skills across the sector and across the region. In talks with our members, they state that skills shortages and finding the right people is top of their challenges. We will be stepping up our work to address and identify solutions alongside our members, partners and stakeholders. 🔹 **Skills England** is set to revolutionize skills training by working closely with businesses, unions, and educational institutions. This new body will coordinate national training efforts, addressing the persistent skills gaps in sectors like renewable energy. The introduction of the Growth and Skills Levy offers flexibility for companies to invest in tailored training programs, ensuring a skilled workforce ready for future challenges. 🔹 **Great British Energy** was launched on July 25, 2024. This publicly-owned company, funded with £8.3 billion sourced from a windfall tax on oil and gas profits, aims to drive investment in clean, home-grown energy production. Collaborating with private companies, local authorities, and cooperatives, it focuses on renewable projects like wind, solar, and hydropower. This initiative, which will boost investor confidence, is set to create jobs, reduce energy bills, and enhance energy security. For energy companies in the East of England, these initiatives, coupled with EEEGR, East Wind and other Sector Councils, offer unparalleled opportunities to upskill the workforce, invest in cutting-edge renewable projects, and contribute to the region's economic and environmental sustainability. #bepartofsomethingbigger Join EEEGR (East of England Energy Group) now 👇 https://lnkd.in/e7Gq287c Let's seize this opportunity to build a brighter, sustainable future for the East of England. #Energy #RenewableEnergy #SkillsDevelopment #LabourGovernment #SustainableFuture #GreatBritishEnergy #SkillsEngland #EastOfEngland #EEEGR #SkillsForEnergy #EnergyTransition
