ALT The energy transition is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the UK, and our ports have ambitious investment and development plans. The next generation of turbines will require up to 11 new or transformed ports with more specialised infrastructure. It is important that the skills and prosperity that come with the transition are anchored in the UK. That, alongside the unprecedented speed and scale of investment needed will necessitate greater public involvement than we have seen in the last few decades. The ports industry looks forward to working with government in realising our shared offshore wind ambitions.
