In Episode 2, we join Hornsea 3's stakeholder relations team to look at how Hornsea 3 engages with local communities.
Building the world's largest single offshore wind farm is one of the UK's most significant National Infrastructure Projects. With 52km of onshore export cables buried beneath the Norfolk countryside and an enormous onshore converter station site just south of Norwich, major civil construction work can be hard to manage in a very rural community.
In this episode, Imran Nawaz, Lauren Little and Lily Dowe join podcast host Mat Rumbelow to discuss strategies that have helped to offset the impact of construction through carefully organised local consultation and engagement activities.
In addition to mitigating the negative impacts of a project of this scale, we also look at the positive impact Hornsea 3 is having through its £7million Community Benefit Fund, schools and colleges outreach programmes and community events.
