Pembroke Port at Marine Energy Wales 2026
Visit us at Marine Energy Wales 2026
Enabling Industry in the Celtic Sea
Pembroke Port is playing a defining role in shaping Wales’ renewable energy future - and at Marine Energy Wales Conference 2026 in Llandudno, we’re proud to showcase how our rapidly expanding capabilities are unlocking the next phase of marine energy deployment.
As a developing strategic hub for floating offshore wind (FLOW), tidal and wave energy, Pembroke Port is delivering the infrastructure, space and flexibility the industry needs - right where it matters most.
Strategically Located. Industry Ready.
Located on the Milford Haven Waterway, the UK’s most strategically important energy site, Pembroke Port is uniquely positioned to support large‑scale marine renewable projects in the Celtic Sea.
Owned and operated by the Port of Milford Haven, Pembroke Port combines proven heavy‑lift capability with long‑term investment certainty. Recent infrastructure upgrades - alongside future developments enabled through the Celtic Freeport - this means the Port is now better equipped than ever to support complex offshore energy projects from construction through to deployment.
Built for Marine Energy at Scale
Through the Pembroke Dock Marine programme, Pembroke Port has undergone a major transformation to meet the evolving needs of the marine energy sector.
New and enhanced facilities include:
- Extensive fabrication and laydown areas
- A 60‑metre‑wide expanded slipway for next‑generation devices
- Upgraded berthing and new workboat pontoons
- Proximity to marine energy test areas and demonstration zones
Designed Around What Industry Needs
Developers and supply chain partners consistently tell us the same thing: projects need large operational footprints and flexible deployment space.
Pembroke Port delivers exactly that.
With robust quayside infrastructure, heavy‑lift capability and extensive laydown space in close proximity, the Port is purpose‑built to support:
- Large‑scale assembly and integration
- Device deployment and retrieval
- Operations and maintenance activity
- The specialist vessels that make it all possible
Accelerating Growth Through the Celtic Freeport
The designation of the Celtic Freeport has unlocked significant new opportunities, accelerating Pembroke Port’s long‑term development plans.
Key investments could include the planned redevelopment of Criterion Quay, delivering:
- Deep water berthing
- Expanded heavy‑lift capability
- Increased operational and assembly space
These enhancements will enable Pembroke Port to support floating offshore wind deployment at scale, while reinforcing Wales’ position as a globally competitive renewable energy hub.
Supporting Opportunity. Powering Progress.
By exhibiting at MEW2026, Pembroke Port is highlighting how its expanded capabilities are opening new opportunities for:
- Energy developers
- Technology innovators
- Vessel operators
- The wider Welsh and UK supply chain
With major tidal, wave and offshore wind projects moving closer to deployment, we are firmly positioned as a cornerstone of Wales’ marine energy ecosystem.
“This year’s Marine Energy Wales conference comes at a pivotal moment for Wales’ renewable energy sector. We’re proud to showcase how Pembroke Port is evolving to support growth. Our investment is driven by what industry tells us it needs — space, capability and deep water access. MEW2026 is a valuable platform to demonstrate the opportunities Pembroke Port can offer and to strengthen the partnerships that will drive the next phase of marine energy development.”
Enabling the Future of Marine Renewables
Pembroke Port’s modernisation goes far beyond physical infrastructure. Its role within the Celtic Freeport is helping to:
- Attract global innovators
- Build resilient, long‑term supply chains
- Create lasting economic value for Wales
- Enable large‑scale floating offshore wind and marine engineering activity
At Marine Energy Wales 2026, Pembroke Port is reinforcing its role as a central enabler of Wales’ marine energy future — ensuring the region is ready to meet the demands, opportunities and economic potential of a fast‑growing renewable sector.
