據能源世界網3月11日倫敦報道，英國政府周三表示，英國將投資9500萬英鎊（約合1.32億美元）建設兩座新設施，為海上風電場的大規模擴建提供服務，為英格蘭北部創造約6000個就業機會。

亨伯地區的Able Marine Energy Park將獲得7500萬英鎊，Teesside的Teesworks海上制造中心將獲得2000萬英鎊。

該國政府表示，這兩個地點將為制造商提供住房，支持開發每年高達9GW的海上風能項目，這將足以為大約800萬戶家庭供電。建設將于今年晚些時候開始。

通用電氣可再生能源公司（GE Renewable Energy）證實，將在蒂塞德（Teesside）新建一家海上風機葉片制造廠。該地區曾是許多重工業的發源地，包括2015年進入清算的Redcar steelworks。

該公司將于2023年開始生產，并向位于英格蘭東北部沿海的Dogger Bank風電場提供葉片。

該國政府表示，新的基礎設施將有助于其實現到2030年將海上風力發電能力提高四倍、達到40吉瓦的目標。

UK government to invest $132 million in new offshore wind facilities

Britain will invest 95 million pounds ($132 million) in the construction of two new facilities to service a big expansion in offshore wind farms, creating around 6,000 jobs in the north of England, the government said on Wednesday.

Able Marine Energy Park, in the Humber region, will receive up to 75 million pounds, and Teesworks Offshore Manufacturing Centre on Teesside, will get up to 20 million pounds.

The two sites will house manufacturers supporting the development of up to 9 GW of offshore wind energy projects each year, which will be enough electricity to power around 8 million homes, the government said.

Construction will begin later this year.

GE Renewable Energy has confirmed it will build a new offshore wind blade manufacturing factory on Teesside. The area was formerly home to much heavy industry, including the Redcar steelworks which went into liquidation in 2015.

It will start production in 2023 and supply blades to the Dogger Bank wind farm, off the coast of northeast England.

The government said the new infrastructure will help meet its target to quadruple offshore wind capacity 40 GW by 2030.
