Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
What steps he is taking to support the marine energy industry.
We’re committed to supporting our marine energy industry.
Through the European Marine Energy Centre, based in the Orkney Islands and the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, we are world leaders in developing marine technologies.
We have provided more support for offshore wind than any other country in the world.
And we are making up to £557 million of annual support available for offshore wind, wave and tidal stream in upcoming competitive CFD allocation rounds.
