Members of the Pembrokeshire community have been successful in naming four new buildings that are being created to service the growing renewables industry in Pembrokeshire. The annexes attached to the historic Sunderland Hangars at Pembroke Port are being redeveloped into modern office and workshop spaces with work expected to be completed by Spring 2023.

A public competition was held giving people the chance to name the new buildings which attracted a wealth of creative suggestions and were judged by a panel consisting of the Chair of the Port of Milford Haven Chris Martin, Mayor of Pembroke Dock Councillor Joshua Beynon, Rik Saldanha from the Pembroke Dock Heritage Trust, Phil Collins from the West Wales Maritime Heritage Centre and Tim James, now at Celtic Sea Power.

The panel were delighted with the range of submissions and the chosen names Erebus House, Catalina House, Falcon House and Oleander House were suggested by David Lockwood, the Pembroke Dock Heritage Trust, Marie Sampson, Victoria Allen and Tyler Streitberger respectively.

Commercial Director at the Port of Milford Haven, Steve Edwards, commented,

These structures date back to the early 1900s so we felt it was important to recognise and celebrate their heritage. Work is progressing well to give new life to the annexes and make them fit for industry. The wider Pembroke Dock Marine project is a huge opportunity to create hundreds of well paid jobs in the community, not only in the renewables sector but for the entire supply chain, so we’re really excited that work is underway on this phase of the development.

Pembroke Dock Marine is expected to generate £73.5m annually to the regional economy, create opportunities for around 1,800 jobs for today’s workforce and the next generation, and contribute 1,000MW to UK and Welsh decarbonisation targets.

Pembroke Dock Marine is a partnership project between the Port of Milford Haven, Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, Marine Energy Wales and Celtic Sea Power. It is funded by the UK Government and Welsh Government through the Swansea Bay City Deal, and through the public and private sectors. It is also part funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government.

Mae aelodau o gymuned Sir Benfro wedi bod yn llwyddiannus mewn cystadleuaeth i enwi pedwar adeilad newydd sy’n cael eu creu i wasanaethu’r diwydiant ynni adnewyddadwy yn Sir Benfro, diwydiant sy’n tyfu yn yr ardal. Mae’r rhandai, sydd ynghlwm wrth y Siediau Awyrennau Sunderland hanesyddol ym Mhorthladd Penfro, yn cael eu hailddatblygu’n swyddfeydd a gweithdai modern a disgwylir i’r gwaith gael ei gwblhau erbyn Gwanwyn 2023.

Cynhaliwyd cystadleuaeth gyhoeddus i roi cyfle i bobl enwi’r adeiladau newydd, a denwyd nifer o awgrymiadau creadigol. Y beirniaid oedd Cadeirydd Porthladd Aberdaugleddau Chris Martin, Maer Doc Penfro y Cynghorydd Joshua Beynon, Rik Saldanha o Ymddiriedolaeth Treftadaeth Doc Penfro, Phil Collins o Ganolfan Dreftadaeth Forwrol Gorllewin Cymru a Tim James, sydd bellach yn Celtic Sea Power.

Roedd y panel wrth eu bodd gyda’r amrywiaeth o geisiadau ac fe awgrymwyd yr enwau buddugol, Erebus House, Catalina House, Falcon House ac Oleander House gan David Lockwood o Ymddiriedolaeth Treftadaeth Doc Penfro, Marie Sampson, Victoria Allen a Tyler Streitberger yn y drefn honno.

Dywedodd, Steve Edwards, Cyfarwyddwr Masnachol Porthladd Aberdaugleddau “Mae’r strwythurau hyn yn dyddio’n ôl i ddechrau’r 1990au felly roeddem yn teimlo ei bod hi’n bwysig cydnabod a dathlu eu treftadaeth. Mae gwaith yn mynd rhagddo’n dda i roi bywyd newydd i’r rhandai a’u gwneud yn addas i ddiwydiant. Mae prosiect ehangach Ardal Forol Doc Penfro yn gyfle anferth i greu cannoedd o swyddi â chyflog da yn y gymuned, nid yn unig yn y sector ynni adnewyddadwy ond ar draws y gadwyn gyflenwi, felly rydym yn wirioneddol gyffrous fod y gwaith ar y cam hwn o’r datblygiad wedi dechrau.”

Mae disgwyl i Ardal Forol Doc Penfro gynhyrchu £73.5 miliwn bob blwyddyn i economi’r rhanbarth, gan greu cyfleoedd ar gyfer tua 1,800 o swyddi i weithlu heddiw a’r genhedlaeth nesaf, a chyfrannu 1,000MW at dargedau datgarboneiddio Cymru a’r DU.

Prosiect partneriaeth rhwng Porthladd Aberdaugleddau, Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, Ynni Môr Cymru a Celtic Sea Power yw Ardal Forol Doc Penfro. Fe’i hariennir gan Lywodraeth Cymru a Llywodraeth y DU drwy Fargen Ddinesig Bae Abertawe, a thrwy’r sectorau cyhoeddus a phreifat. Mae hefyd yn cael ei ariannu’n rhannol gan Gronfa Ddatblygu Rhanbarthol Ewrop drwy Lywodraeth Cymru.
