Wind of change for Grimsby's fortunes

GREEN Grimsby is a great thought... but it could very soon be a reality.
Energy Creation's grand plans to call the town home for their renewable energy production and installation business further underlines the area's green credentials.
And with biomass power, food waste to energy and biofuel refining all coming this way, there's no reason why it cannot happen.
While all of these will help meet national Government targets for a cleaner, greener, low carbon future, they will also provide a huge boost to Grimsby's economy. A large influx of cross-income jobs, with a need for training and support. Short term mass construction and long term engineering back-up, is all part of it.
The company behind the latest proposal involving domestic and business wind turbines, solar panels and ground sourced heat is already forging links with Grimsby Institute and engaging with important contacts in export and energy and the confidence is high that the goals can be achieved.
The ports, available land, congestion free roads and good rail links are all key attractions.
And where others may have to focus their recruiting for skilled employment, the refreshing aim of Energy Creation is to take on and train locally.
It will be interesting to watch as the company develops.
