MP praises Humber Marine Renewables partnership with Norwegian group
A partnership between membership group Humber Marine and Renewables and a Norwegian offshore wind body has been praised in the House of Commons.
Humber Marine and Renewables and Norwegian Offshore Wind announced in July that they had signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on activities in offshore wind and supply chain development.
Speaking earlier this week in the House of Commons, Grimsby and Cleethorpes MP, Melanie Onn, raised the summer development with Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband, who recently moved on from the role of Energy Secretary.
Ms Onn said: “The Humber generates 20 per cent of our electricity and is critical to delivering UK energy security. We have to work with our international allies to build a stronger framework of the friendly, to protect all of our critical infrastructure.
“The Humber Marine and Renewables and Norwegian Offshore Wind MoU was a really good example of collaboration, which will keep the turbines turning.”
Humber Marine and Renewables vice chair, Camilla Carlbom-Flinn, said: “It is encouraging our work this year has gone right to the heart of UK politics.
“The intention to enhance business opportunities between the two nations is a key element of the MoU with Norwegian Offshore Wind.”
