Ports’ studies

You are here: Home > Offshore Renewable Energy

Regen has expertise and detailed knowledge of the marine energy supply chain, including port facilities and infrastructure.

Over many years, we have carried out a number of individual studies on the region’s ports.

Examples of these projects include:

Plymouth South Yard Marine Industry Demand study

Following the signing over of part of Devonport Dock yard to Plymouth City Council, we carried out a market research study to identify areas of high growth and innovation in the marine industry and specific opportunities to support investment and jobs in the south west of England through the development of a “Marine Industries’ Production Campus” at Plymouth South Yard.

Bristol Port Dry Dock study

In 2014, we carried out an evaluation of potential market opportunities for Bristol Port, principally focused on the opportunities surrounding the Atlantic Array project and the assembly and manufacturing of tidal turbines.

North Devon

We have undertaken a series of studies in North Devon examining potential opportunities surrounding the Atlantic Array project, with a view to using the ports as operations and maintenance facilities.

Hayle Harbour Works

This project, funded by the Hayle Coastal Communities Team, focussed on identifying practical and acceptable solutions for restoring and maintaining water depth and safe navigation within the harbour and its channels, and to develop a business case to support investment.
