The operator has agreed a long-term partnership with the renewable power giant to support operations and maintenance for East Anglia TWO and THREE offshore wind farms.<\/p>\n
Using the Lowestoft Eastern Energy Facility (LEEF), the deal strengthens port operations and builds on ScottishPower Renewables\u2019 existing East Anglia ONE base.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis partnership with ScottishPower Renewables is a major step forward for Lowestoft and the UK\u2019s offshore wind ambitions,\u201d said Andy Reay, head of offshore wind at ABP<\/p>\n
\u201dLEEF offers the infrastructure and strategic location needed to support world-class operations and SPR\u2019s decision to utilise our berths for EA2 and EA3 operations is a strong endorsement of the facility\u2019s strategic value.\u201d<\/p>\n
Renewables focus<\/strong><\/p>\n The agreement follows ABP\u2019s GB\u00a335 million investment in renewable energy-focused port infrastructure at Lowestoft Eastern Energy Facility (LEEF), officially opened in January 2025. <\/p>\n ScottishPower Renewables will use deep-water berths for service operation vessels and crew transfer vessels, maximising Lowestoft\u2019s proximity to offshore wind sites.<\/p>\n Purpose-built facilities, modern utilities and future-ready shore power capability position the port as a leading offshore wind hub.<\/p>\n ScottishPower Renewables is investing over GB\u00a38 million to expand its PowerPark footprint, including a new operations base for East Anglia THREE employing around 100 people.<\/p>\n During peak construction, more than 2,300 supply chain jobs are expected, reinforcing Lowestoft\u2019s role in offshore wind and renewable energy growth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ABP and ScottishPower Renewables have signed a landmark agreement to support offshore wind operations from the UK Port of Lowestoft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":5964,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,8],"tags":[28,573,843,1733,345,539,909,675,1238],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-5963","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport","category-projects-initiatives-greenport","tag-abp","tag-marine-civils","tag-marine-construction","tag-offshore-renewables","tag-offshore-wind","tag-port-infrastructure","tag-port-of-lowestoft","tag-port-operations","tag-scottishpower"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5963"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5963\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5965,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5963\/revisions\/5965"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5964"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5963"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=5963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
