Demolition works under way for new £9m wind farm base
It marks a significant step in ScottishPower's £100 million investment in the East Anglia region.
Demolition work has commenced in Lowestoft at the former RJ Pryce site on Trinity Road, clearing the path for ScottishPower Renewables’ new offshore windfarm operations base.
The Ipswich-based Tru Demolition is managing the clearing process, which marks a significant step in ScottishPower's £100 million investment in the East Anglia region.
ScottishPower has contracted local construction company R.G. Carter to design and build the £9 million facility, which will accommodate around 100 people.
Alex Mackay from R.G. Carter said: "As a business with deep roots in East Anglia, we are proud to be supporting ScottishPower Renewables on this important investment in Lowestoft."
Jess Asato, MP for Lowestoft, described the investment as "fantastic news for Lowestoft" and emphasized its role in bringing "skilled jobs, training opportunities and more people working in the heart of Lowestoft."
The new facility complements ScottishPower’s nearby East Anglia ONE site.
Ross Ovens, Managing Director for Offshore at ScottishPower, noted that the investment milestone "confirms the region is a real powerhouse for the clean energy industry."
