The Humber ports could be home to onshore wind turbines
The public are being invited to attend a consultation as part of Associated British Ports (ABP) plans to install onshore wind turbines at the Port of Immingham.
Plans are being developed for up to two turbines at Immingham (up to 8MW). These would be additional to the two turbines that were submitted into planning in March 2024 and would mean four turbines in total at the port if all are consented and constructed (up to 17MW of installed onshore wind in total).
The turbines are important to help control the cost of electricity and directly decarbonise port electricity, and hopefully provide a foundation for industrial growth.
The consultation will take place at Immingham Civic Centre, on Tuesday 21st October between 4:30pm and 7pm. At this event people can view the proposed plans and talk to members of the project team.
ABP supports government ambitions to achieving net zero and recently launched its own £2 billion plan for Energy Transition growth and Net Zero 2040. Called Ready for Tomorrow it looks to meet the challenges and grasp the opportunities. ABP has already reduced its own CO2 emissions by over 35% since 2014 and invested over £55 million in sustainability measures, which includes the largest commercial rooftop solar array in the UK at the Port of Hull, electric vehicles and cranes across the group and a new fleet of more fuel-efficient pilot boats.
