Lowestoft Eastern Energy Facility (LEEF)

The Port of Lowestoft is close to one of the most significant clusters of offshore wind farms in the UK. It provides a convenient marine hub for offshore wind customers to maintain operations, repower, and construct offshore wind sites. It handles around 30,000 tonnes of cargo per year and contributes £30 million to the economy and supports 580 jobs.  As Lowestoft has established itself as a thriving centre servicing the offshore energy industry, the LEEF project forms a central part of a new masterplan further developing the port as a hub for the southern north sea energy sector.
