We are delighted to introduce this website describing the enormous potential that the Borough of Scarborough has to support the developing offshore wind industry.

Cllr Peter Popple, Cabinet portfolio holder for Harbours and Land.

“The ability of the Borough to support enterprise has been noted both nationally and internationally by the attainment of awards recognising the Borough as the most enterprising place in Britain (2008) and the most enterprising place in Europe (2009).

I believe that the Borough of Scarborough has a very valuable contribution to make to the Offshore WindIndustry through its people, its businesses, its harbours and its unrivalled knowledge of the natural beauty of the Yorkshire Coast.”

Cllr Derek Bastiman, Cabinet portfolio holder for Strategic Planning and Regeneration.

“We are keen to do business and to facilitate much of the servicing, maintenance and training that will be needed in this essential industry. The opportunity of developing renewable energy production on the scale proposed will be of benefit to everyone.

“We have a great workforce, land ready for development with the infrastructure and skills in place. Our existing engineering industry is at the leading edge of many technologies, and they are well networked and eager to get involved.”
