Helping bolster the UK’s energy supply chain

Strategically located near Sizewell C, the ports offer extensive port infrastructure, including robust quaysides and secure storage, ideal for handling heavy and complex cargo.

“The construction of Sizewell C is a game-changer for the region and the UK. ABP’s Ports of Ipswich and Lowestoft provide a strategic advantage through efficient, sustainable, and secure delivery of materials,” said Paul Ager, divisional port manager for East Anglia

”We’re proud to collaborate with Sizewell C suppliers to develop tailored solutions for this major project.”

Development opportunity

Sizewell C, designed to generate 3.2GW of low-carbon electricity, is among the UK’s largest energy infrastructure initiatives. Its development offers significant opportunities for regional businesses, with ABP leveraging decades of experience from projects like Hinkley Point C.

EDF has secured a land option agreement for 30 acres across both sites, ensuring a seamless supply chain for this transformative energy project.

With rail connectivity at both ports, Sizewell C’s commitment to transport 60% of construction materials by rail or sea is well supported.

Local leaders, including Jess Asato, MP for Lowestoft and Jack Abbot, MP for Ipswich, have applauded the ports’ vital contribution to the project, highlighting the potential for economic growth, job creation and environmental progress.
