Awel y Môr Offshore Wind Farm forecasts future jobs and supplier roles for the sector in Wales

Design team - wind turbines

RWE’s team developing the Awel y Môr Offshore Wind Farm has investigated and produced a detailed forecast of the potential for future job creation at what is currently Wales’ largest consented renewable energy project. 

Construction alone could create or help safeguard around 2,000 roles across the supply chain.

Subject to securing a Financial Investment Decision and route to market via a future Contracts for Difference auction, Awel y Môr would be built 10.5km off the coast of north Wales, west of the existing Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm. Once fully installed, it would be capable of producing power equivalent to more than half the homes in Wales annually.

The forecast anticipates what could be the annual job requirements for each individual construction phase and is backed by data from more than a dozen successful offshore wind farm projects delivered by RWE, which is developing the Awel y Môr Offshore Wind Farm on behalf of project partners Stadtwerke München and Siemens Financial Services.
