Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what discussions he has had with the onshore wind industry on their supply chains.

Onshore wind is a key part of the Government’s strategy for low-cost decarbonisation of the energy sector. Achieving our ambitious 2050 Net Zero target will require significant increases in renewable electricity generation, and we will need to increase deployment across a range of technologies, including onshore wind.

The BEIS ministerial team and officials have regular discussions with the onshore wind industry about how we can achieve this, including the role of supply chains.
