“A second, clean energy revolution in the North Sea"
“I continue to be strongly supportive of the UK offshore renewables sector and am delighted to see norstec rising from the waves. As I said when I launched this network last April we are on the cusp of a second, clean energy revolution in the North Sea. Close collaboration between industry and government will be critical to making this happen.” – Prime Minister David Cameron
Over forty organisations have joined forces to set out a long-term vision for the deployment of offshore wind in the northern seas and the economic opportunities this presents. These include world-leading manufacturers, cutting-edge developers, supply-chain firms, researchers and industry-bodies.
The new network – called norstec – was first announced by the Prime Minister in April and brought together around 20 companies. Today, with its ranks more than doubled and numbers continuing to grow, the network has held its first full meeting in London centred around this vision and the role that norstec can play in maximising the potential of the northern seas’ abundant resources.
norstec will communicate the scale of the opportunity and the benefits of clean energy in Europe’s northern seas to the public and the business and political spheres. Signatories will collaborate and share information to ensure that the benefits offered by vast clean energy potential in the Northern Seas are fully realised.
You can follow the progress of norstec on its Twitter account.

11 年PM. This is a sector I am looking to move into after my 22 yrs in the Royal Air Force. Just wanted to say that it is very comforting that you give the Renewable Sector your support. Best Wishes.

12 年A clean energy revolution in the North Sea should be a model of sustainable energy for many other countries in EU and overseas.

12 年How about a return to encouraging house owners to put solar panels on their roofs? I've lived on a boat for 9 years and my solar panels make a bigger contribution than my wind generator and have no moving parts to wear out. What else are you doing to make Britain a leader in environmentally friendly power generation David?
