The UK Renewables Boom and Where the Crews Are Going

Offshore wind hubs

Hull, Grimsby, Aberdeen, Lowestoft. Offshore wind operations and maintenance crews based in these towns. Accommodation supply hasn't kept up with demand.

Solar farm crews

Solar farms get built in rural England wherever land is cheap. Crews stay in nearby small towns for 4-12 week installs. Local hotel supply is often nil; serviced houses dominate.

Grid upgrades

The push to net zero requires massive grid reinforcement. Substations being upgraded across the UK. Trade Nest Stays partner properties near major substation sites see strong demand.
