Offshore wind giant RWE has appointed the contractor to deliver its new multi-million pound Grimsby Hub.
The company is to extend its existing Triton Knoll base at the town’s Royal Dock, adding a centralised control room from where it will oversee the majority of the UK portfolio, creating 70 new jobs. It comes with construction underway on the next wind farm to be served from the port, Sofia, and an agreement for lease signed with The Crown Estate on the Dogger Bank South dual developments.
RWE has turned to Hobson & Porter, the Hull-based firm behind neighbouring Orsted’s East Coast Hub, to deliver the state-of-the-art multi-million pound site.
