Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether the Future Offshore Wind Scenarios project estimated the number of jobs that would be supported by deploying sufficient offshore wind capacity to meet the Government's net zero target in 2050.
This question was answered on 6th July 2023
The Future Offshore Wind Scenarios project did not estimate numbers of jobs. The Offshore Wind Industry Council’s Skills Intelligence Report 2023 estimates that employment in the offshore wind sector will rise from over 32,000 in 2022 to over 104,000 by 2030.
