Energy

Great Yarmouth in Norfolk and Lowestoft, in nearby in Suffolk is the 2^nd largest concentration of the energy industry in the UK, after Aberdeen. We have high quality skills, internationally renowned academics and world class companies, including Shell, Amec and Asco, exploiting innovation.

With activities ranging from oil and gas exploration and services to renewable energy, such as biofuels, the industry has transferable skills relevant across these industry areas.

Britain's largest offshore wind farm and gas field are based in Norfolk and the development of East Port, Great Yarmouth's new deepwater outer harbour, will enable larger vessels easier access and stimulate growth in the region.

You could benefit from Norfolk's skills, infrastructure and over £1 billion investment in the Southern North Sea.

Businesses skilled in offshore engineering have the vision and expertise to diversify into areas such as offshore wind and wavepower, whereas others are developing biofuels as an important alternative to transport fuels.

The East of England Energy Group (EEEGr) is spearheading the drive to ensure Norfolk and the rest of the East of England has a world-class energy industry, embracing traditional and renewable energy sources.
