Welsh businesses are being invited to play a leading role in the emerging floating offshore wind industry following the launch of the procurement strategy for Erebus by Blue Gem Wind.
The launch marks an opportunity for businesses across Wales to position themselves within the growing Celtic Sea offshore wind supply chain, supporting the delivery of a fully consented 100-megawatt test and demonstration project located approximately 35km off the coast of Pembrokeshire.
With construction planned by the end of the decade, Erebus represents a critical stepping stone in the development of a wider pipeline of floating offshore wind projects in the Celtic Sea. Its delivery has the potential to create significant opportunities for Welsh industry, helping businesses develop new capabilities, invest in skills and equipment, and establish themselves in a sector with long-term growth potential.
Businesses interested in exploring potential opportunities with Erebus by Blue Gem Wind are encouraged to register their interest and join the project’s supply-chain database by selecting the following link: Join Our Supply Chain | Blue Gem Wind.
