Criterion Quay Flow Development Environmental and Consenting Work

The Hobbs Point Floating Offshore Wind Development Project is envisioned to support the deployment of floating offshore wind infrastructure in the Celtic Sea. Delivery of this project will fortify the Pembroke Dock Marine project currently in development at Pembroke Dock, which is designed to create a world class centre for green energy development, acting as a catalyst for inward investment and the development of a regional Marine Centre of Excellence for current and future technology. Delivery of Hobbs Point Floating offshore wind will support the diversification of a strategic UK fossil fuel energy hub into a centre for the renewable energy industry. This will protect both the region and UK in terms of energy security, economy and inclusivity while also working towards achieving decarbonisation targets. Milford Haven Port Authority (PoMH), as part of its ongoing programme of development at Pembroke Port (PP) intends to rebuild and expand a facility at Criterion Way/Criterion Quay, initially to support Floating Offshore Wind (FLOW) Test and Demonstration stage projects. The currently envisaged works comprise the following: - Construction of a heavy lift jetty with associated mooring structures - Dredging (substantially in rock, some possibly requiring drilling and blasting) - Reclamation of about 2 Hectares of land over an intertidal area with anticipated beneficial use of the dredged material - Remediation of existing land - Surfacing of the reclaimed and remediated land with surface drainage -Perimeter security fencing and gates- Installation of internal electricity supplies for lighting and heavy duty power - Provision of external services and connections - Small ancillary buildings - Environmental mitigation measures The works are subject to grant funding which will have strict time limits.
