It was a privilege to be nominated in this category and an absolute delight to jointly win. This is a special win for all those round the Strategic Investment Model (SIM) group and the collaborative work we are progressing. #offshorewind

A significant milestone for the sector and the offshore wind supply chain. Huge effort from across industry, governments and stakeholders to get to this point today 👏👏

RenewableUK, the Offshore Wind Industry Council, The Crown Estate and Crown Estate Scotland have published a detailed Industrial Growth Plan, setting out how to triple offshore wind manufacturing capacity over the next ten years, firmly establishing the UK as a leader in a surging global market 📊

The UK offshore wind industry already employs 32,000 people and each new large offshore wind farm adds £2-3bn to the economy. Employment is set to rise to over 100,000 by 2030 and investment in new offshore wind projects will create an economic opportunity worth up to £92bn for the UK by 2040 📈

The Industrial Growth Plan is part of wider efforts to boost investment in the UK in the context of increasing global competition for clean energy technology. Many of the UK’s competitors have introduced new incentives to attract investment in offshore wind projects and domestic manufacturing, hoping to replicate Britain’s success in offshore wind. The plan sets out a targeted approach which builds on our existing national capabilities, growing our economy, generating employment and securing the UK's leadership in international export markets 🇬🇧

See the full report in our latest press release below alongside comment from @RenewableUKCEO Dan McGrail, @energygovuk Secretary @ClaireCoutinho , The Co-Chair of the Offshore Wind Industry Council (OWIC) Richard Sandford, Gus Jaspert, Managing Director, Marine at @TheCrownEstate and Sian Wilson, Director of Marine (interim) at @CrownEstateScot 👇

@RenewableUK, the Offshore Wind Industry Council, @TheCrownEstate & @CrownEstateScot have announced they are developing a new Industrial Growth Plan (IGP) to boost long-term growth of the UK offshore wind sector and have appointed @KPMG to support development of the IGP. ⚡️

An Industrial Growth Plan was a key recommendation of the final report to Government by the Offshore Wind Champion, Tim Pick, who called for a ‘sober and thorough strategic competency “make-or-buy” analysis which takes into account the UK’s comparative advantages and opportunities for disruption’ so that we can position British industry to take advantage of the global boom in offshore wind and deliver the pipeline of domestic projects. 🛠️📈

The final IGP is expected to be published in early 2024, read our press release below for further detail alongside comment from @RenewableUKCEO Dan McGrail:

Further background on the IGP is available on our blog The UK's Place in the Global Race for Offshore Wind Investment by RenewableUK's Director of Industrial Development @luketdclark
