The concession allows the employment of foreign nationals who are joining vessels engaged in the construction and maintenance of offshore wind projects in UK territorial waters.

The information about the concession is published online at:

Offshore wind workers Immigration Rules concession 2017: July 2021 update - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

The Home Office regularly reviews its policies and regularly undertakes engagement with a wide range of stakeholders.

I frequently engage with colleagues across Government, including those in the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy on a wide range of issues, including the operation of the immigration system.

Additionally, the Government has no plans to publish information on individual companies.
