LET’S GENERATE
THE FUTURE OF CLEAN
GROWTH TOGETHER
The world is at a tipping point for climate
change. Atmospheric CO2 levels continue
to rise, increasing the risk of extreme
weather events and other environmental
disasters that threaten lives and
livelihoods. That is why the UK government
has recently announced even tougher
targets for reducing our carbon emissions
by 2035 in our effort to reach Net Zero by
2050.
I am therefore delighted to
introduce the new GENERATE
brand for the East of England.
This prospectus sets out our
ambitions to be the UK’s clean
growth region. It highlights how
the region can support industry
and the development of new
technologies, including making our
power supplies cleaner, more sustainable,
secure and resilient.
We have an amazing opportunity in the UK
to make renewable energy the bedrock of
our power supply. The GENERATE region
is blessed with coastal waters that offer
some of the best conditions in the world
for offshore wind installations, and a
rural landscape ideal for solar power and
bioenergy generation.
We also have the high skilled workforce
needed to develop new integrated energy
systems and more energy efficient homes,
offices and workplaces.
Here in Norfolk and Suffolk you will find
world leading research and development
centres in life sciences, engineering,
advanced technologies, and low carbon
energy generation, storage and usage.
The business community is highly
supportive, with industry bodies
such as the East of England
Energy Group (EEEGR)
providing industry expertise
and encouraging cross-sector
collaboration. With outstanding
universities, ambitious schools
and colleges, innovation hubs,
and an enviable quality of life, the
GENERATE region offers ambitious people
in the energy industry a great place to live
and work.
Read on to discover how this integrated
clean energy ecosystem can generate
opportunities for your business.
