Socio-economic Effects

 
 


 

 

Offshore wind farms can generate substantial benefits to the nation, the environment and surrounding local communities.

Our wind farm, near Sheringham Shoal, has the potential to provide direct employment in the East of England, and to local communities near the wind farm. During the development, consultation and EIA phase, Scira has already placed contracts with local companies in the North Norfolk region. If you feel that you have a service that might help us with our work, please feel free to contact us and let us know more about your business.

Scira has commissioned a socio-economic study to assess how these benefits can be directed as much as possible to the East of England and to North Norfolk in particular. We are very keen to understand how in addition to employment other benefits such as, tourism and leisure initiatives can be incorporated with our proposed development.
