Peel Ports Group launches Port of East Anglia with £10m investment boost

[ October 30, 2025   //   ]

Peel Ports Group is to invest £10m in its Great Yarmouth site, which is being repositioned as the Port of East Anglia.

It brings this year’s total investment to £70m and will be used to redevelop the port’s Northern Terminal to accommodate the next generation of major offshore wind projects.

Earlier this year, Peel Ports announced a £60m investment in its Southern Terminal to allow it to support multiple hydrogen, carbon capture, offshore wind and nuclear energy schemes.

Great Yarmouth is one of the deepest non-tidally restricted facilities on the UK’s east coast and already serves customers including Sizewell C and offshore energy projects in the southern North Sea.

The new name also aligns with the creation of a new combined authority for Suffolk and Norfolk, which was announced earlier this month. It will come into effect in early 2026.

Peel Ports Group chief operating officer, David Huck, said: “Great Yarmouth has – and continues to – play a crucial role in the UK’s energy transition and we’ve committed so much investment into the site to ensure we can deliver what is needed. We want to improve capabilities to ensure the town remains at the forefront of the energy sector for generations to come.”

The Port of East Anglia was officially announced at an event on 30 October at Norwich City Football Club, supported by the East of England Energy Group (EEEGR).
