Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps she is taking to strengthen offshore wind foundation structure supply chains.

Government remains committed to strengthening and prioritising resilient and sustainable offshore wind supply chains in the UK. We have set out a package of support for offshore wind supply chains worth up to £1 billion.

Government, through Great British Energy (GBE) is also establishing a Deepwater Wind Commercialisation Programme in partnership with FLOWEX, to unlock the industrial opportunity from the next frontier of offshore wind deployment.

Additionally, the UK-Japan Offshore Wind Industrial Compact, developed in close partnership with GBE, will drive up to £9bn into the UK economy over the next decade and help to scale floating offshore wind.
