Home » Green Energy Hub, Freeport East Harwich
Freeport East Harwich is set to become a purpose-built, Green Energy Hub, providing new UK port infrastructure to meet the growing demands of next-generation offshore wind developments. Strategically located on the East coast, it offers deep-water access to the North Sea, serving both UK and continental European markets for fixed and floating offshore wind projects.
Forming part of the Harwich Tax Site at Freeport East, the 301-acre site offers plots of up to 79 acres that are ideal for green energy projects and supporting uses. With significant scalability for pre-assembly, construction, and O&M activities, the site benefits from existing planning consents and a 1.4km waterfront, including a 450-metre heavy-duty berth.
