The expansion represents an investment of £186 million and is planned to be completed in 2023. It will grow to 77,600 square meters and add 200 additional direct jobs to the approximately 1,000 person-workforce already in place. Manufacturing of other offshore wind turbine blade types already in the Siemens Gamesa Hull factory pipeline will continue while the expansion is constructed.
