Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to help increase the output of offshore wind.

The Government has set a world leading ambition of up to 50GW of offshore wind by 2030 including up to 5GW of floating wind. As set out in the Powering Up Britain: Energy Security Plan published on 30 March 2023, actions to increase deployment of offshore wind include a new £160m fund for floating offshore wind and legislation to streamline the consenting process.
