Offshore Wind Industrial Growth Plan

The Offshore Wind Industry Council, The Crown Estate, Crown Estate Scotland and RenewableUK have today (April 17) published a detailed Industrial Growth Plan, setting out how to triple the UK’s offshore wind manufacturing capacity over the next ten years.

Claire Mack, Chief Executive of Scottish Renewables, said:

"Behind every industry success story is a strong supply chain. With an abundance of natural resources and a huge pipeline of projects, the UK stands on the cusp of a golden opportunity to build a world-class offshore wind supply chain. This will bring fresh investment to our shores, regeneration to our industrial heartlands and high-value jobs to communities across the country.

"The Industrial Growth Plan charts a clear course for the collaboration needed between governments and industry in the years ahead to seize that unrivalled economic opportunity.

“Scottish Renewables is proud to have contributed to this landmark publication which provides invaluable insight and detail on the strategic investments required to support the delivery of Scotland's enormous offshore wind potential.

"We look forward to supporting the development of effective collaboration on investment, infrastructure and innovation to ensure we maximise the benefits of the clean energy transition."
