Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support long-term investment in the necessary infrastructure for floating offshore wind and to help reduce the risk of investing in the UK's ports.

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero is delivering the Floating Offshore Wind Manufacturing Investment Scheme (FLOWMIS), worth up to £160 million, to support investment in the port infrastructure needed to deploy large-scale floating offshore wind turbines.

The Government is also working closely with representatives of the port industry to develop a shared understanding of the barriers to port investment and identify the most appropriate future levers to overcome them.
