Danish wind energy company Vestas has abandoned plans to build an offshore turbine manufacturing plant in Sheerness, South East England.

 

The company said that due to legal obligations it could not comment on reasons behind the decision.

The planned factory was expected to create 2,000 jobs.

Juan Araluce, chief sales officer at Vestas, said, 'Vestas' strong commitment to the development of both the offshore and onshore wind industries is not affected by this decision. We will remain active across the two markets in the UK as they both continue to show considerable potential.'

Mark Whitworth, CEO of Peel Ports, added, 'We are extremely disappointed that we have been unable to conclude the agreement with Vestas. However, we remain fully committed to the strategy outlined for the Port of Sheerness of attracting major renewables manufacturers to complement our valued heritage business within the significant footprint of the port.

'Port of Sheerness' natural attributes, strategic location and planning consent remain a compelling proposition for major wind turbine manufacturers and will facilitate the delivery of major new investment into the port and the Kent economy.'
