NOF Energi Coast Regional Supply Chain Showcase
2026-04-01 08:00 - 17:00 UTC | The Boiler Shop, 20 South Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 3PE
Showcasing the very best of North East England’s offshore wind industry, this is your opportunity to explore the region’s innovative strengths and global knowledge, with a focus on local projects, innovation, skills and supply chain capabilities and opportunities.
Be part of a rapidly advancing industry, in a key area for UK offshore wind developments.
Offshore wind projects are only as strong as the supply chains behind them. UK offshore wind farms are among the largest in the world and North East England is fortunate to have some significant projects in operation and under construction.
The region is home to Dogger Bank Wind Farm, Sofia Offshore Wind Farm, Teesside Wind Farm, Blyth Offshore Demonstrator Wind Farm and their respective developers of Equinor, SSE Renewables, Vargronn, RWE, Masdar and EDF Power Solutions.
Following the recent allocation round (AR7) future regional projects that are being developed are Dogger Bank South (East and West). The projects under construction will see hundreds of turbines installed, with massive monopiles, jackets, blades, cables, vessels and many more opportunities across the supply chain.
North East England has a strong focus and commitment to offshore wind with the sector earmarked for potential future growth.
Following the largest offshore wind auction in Europe to date, and with record capacity awarded in AR7 (8.4 GW) this signals an acceleration of projects leading to supply chain opportunities.
Opportunities will include both fixed bottom developments (circa 8.2 GW) and floating offshore wind (circa 200 MW), with NOF and Energi Coast excited for the future of the industry in this region, especially bearing in mind our central geography location on the East Coast making us an ideal choice for North Sea projects.
One of the very supportive Developers on the Energi Coast Leadership Group, RWE emerged as the dominant winner, securing circa 6.9 GW of capacity in AR7, this included development of Dogger Bank South (East & West), Norfolk Vanguard (East & West) plus Awel y Môr.
As North East England plans to move further into deeper waters for offshore wind, we expect the supply chain will benefit from an industry which is on the move.
This is North East England.

Raise your profile by exhibiting, make your business visible, stand out on the day and firm up your position as a supply chain leader. If you really want to stand out, consider sponsoring the event and being part of the conversation.

The Convention, ratified by 196 nations, focuses on conserving biological diversity, sustainable use of its components, and fair sharing of genetic resource benefits. Biodiversity underpins human wellbeing but faces threats from climate change, habitat loss, pollution, and overexploitation. The day encourages global action by individuals, organizations, and governments to halt biodiversity loss and support frameworks like the Global Biodiversity Framework and Sustainable Development Goals. Promotional materials in multiple languages are available via the CBD website.
