The Waterfront Strategic Sites represent one of the UK’s most significant opportunities for private capital in clean energy, advanced manufacturing and industrial decarbonisation. Their location within or near the Celtic Freeport provides planning advantages, tax incentives and deep-water port infrastructure, creating a strong platform for long-term, infrastructure-scale investment.

ABP Port Talbot is positioned as the UK’s flagship Floating Offshore Wind (FLOW) integration port for the 4.5 GW Celtic Sea market, opening opportunities in port infrastructure, fabrication, assembly, and logistics. Additional ventures include a sustainable aviation fuel plant, largescale hydrogen production and a CO2 export terminal.

Complementary sites at Bae Baglan, Harbourside and Tata surplus land provide expansion areas for cleantech manufacturing, R&D facilities, innovation clusters and high-spec industrial premises, backed by strong occupier interest.
