Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the merits of using (1) North Sea transition authority stewardship guidance, (2) contracts for difference conditions, and (3) the clean industry bonus to encourage industry standards bodies to participate in qualification recognition under the energy skills passport.

The Government supports the industry-led Energy Skills Passport, overseen by RenewableUK and Offshore Energies UK. The Passport supports oil and gas workers to identify routes into offshore wind roles, and Government continues to support its expansion to additional clean energy jobs and career pathways.

The Government will continue to work with industry, including through the North Sea Transition Authority where appropriate, to support wider participation in the Energy Skills Passport as it develops.
