Offshore wind

At Newcastle University we are working towards a better and fairer world, addressing challenges and creating a more sustainable future, protecting our planet for the benefit of all.

As a civic university, we’re proud of our role and responsibility in advancing the health, wealth and wellbeing of our region and beyond.

Newcastle and the North East of England have a long and rich history with the marine and offshore sector. Today, the region is a global leader in offshore renewables:

• Port of Tyne is the operations and maintenance base for the world's largest offshore wind farm, Dogger Bank
• Port of Blyth is the construction base for RWE's Sofia wind farm
• The Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult in Blyth is a collection of world class facilities for OEMs that support product development
• Energi Coast is a collaborative and supportive membership group, one of the 8 UK offshore wind clusters

Through research, education, innovation, and skills, we play a leading role in the offshore renewables sector and the drive toward net-zero. We’re proud to be members of NOF, Energi Coast and the Global Underwater Hub
