DVD Launch Highlights The Capability Of Kilkeel Firms
Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster has launched a DVD highlighting the capability of Kilkeel businesses in the offshore energy sector.
Speaking at the launch event at the Nautilus Centre in Kilkeel, Arlene Foster said: "The development of offshore renewables is an excellent opportunity for Northern Ireland in so many ways, including energy security and diversity and climate change mitigation.
"During the last few years, 14 companies in Kilkeel have successfully paved the way for business development through collaboration and demonstrated that they have the skills and expertise to enter new markets. Invest Northern Ireland has supported these businesses through the various stages of development and I would encourage this working relationship to continue."
Significant growth is expected in the UK and European offshore wind markets over the next ten years that will lead to a potential investment in the region in excess of £100bn.
The launch event was also attended by Colin Warwick from The Crown Estate, who provided an update on its strategy to help the offshore wind industry achieve its full potential in terms of bringing significant new inward investment, businesses and jobs to the United Kingdom.
