Our successful projects:

Rt Hon Steve Reed MP, Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government: “From offshore wind manufacturing on the Humber to new clean energy facilities in Pembrokeshire, this backing for our freeports will generate real economic growth across the country. By tackling the barriers that developers face early on, we’re helping to unlock significant private investment and create thousands of good jobs in clean energy and advanced manufacturing.”
Luciana Ciubotariu, CEO of Celtic Freeport: “Today marks a significant milestone for Pembroke Dock and Port Talbot. Three projects have secured UK Government funding to accelerate the Celtic Freeport’s vision, investing in new port infrastructure to support floating offshore wind and green transition developments on the horizon.”
