The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what funding the Government is providing to support domestic manufacturing of offshore wind turbines.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The Government will soon be introducing supply chain support measures through the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme. These will initially apply to offshore wind for the next CfD allocation round and may be broadened out to other technologies in the future depending on prevailing market conditions.
