Now, on the brink of a burgeoning marine energy boom, leading the way in a new industry is familiar territory to the communities here. As the world has changed around us, and industries have risen and fallen, Pembroke Dock has always kept abreast of the wave of innovation and adapted to provide the new skills that the next era has needed. It’s a highway of bustling activity which various people working in all sorts of industries have relied on upon over the years to keep local families fed and entertained, as well as those from further afield.
The Haven has always provided a source of income for those working around it.
On a worldwide scale, there are more marine energy projects being developed in the UK than any other country. Indeed, the UK has a proud maritime industrial heritage as well as the largest wave and tidal resource in Europe. The town’s proud maritime heritage can once again be brought to life with this new opportunity. Pembroke Dock’s topography provides the perfect foundation on which to develop the necessary infrastructure and facilities and is one of few locations in Wales suited to this type of development. The Milford Haven waterway offers untapped sustainable energy resource together with an extensive, high-skill supply chain nearby, and it makes sense for this new industry to develop at what is already the UK’s largest energy Port. And the same opportunity now exists with renewable energy.
Historically, the traditional energy sector developed around the waterway providing well-paid jobs and creating a ripple effect supporting local businesses and workers in the supply chain. There is a strong relationship between Pembrokeshire’s natural environment, the businesses and jobs it supports.
