The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (Mr Eric Pickles)

On 6 August, we announced a £15 million Government grant to help the Humber become a world-class centre for offshore renewable energy industries that employs thousands of people. The money will support the Able Marine Energy Park based on the Humber Enterprise Zone, which will provide a facility for the manufacture, storage, assembly and deployment of the next generation of offshore wind turbines. This project will create more than 4,100 direct jobs and will let the Humber grow as a leading centre for renewable energy. Building work on the site will create around 350 full-time construction jobs.
