The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies of the findings in the report by Robert Gordon University entitled Striking the Balance: Building a Sustainable UK Offshore Energy Workforce, published in June 2025.
Answered by Miatta Fahnbulleh
The Government has noted the report from Robert Gordon University, which provides helpful analysis on the future of the UK’s offshore energy sector. As Britain becomes a clean energy superpower, the Government is determined to create high-quality jobs to ensure a phased and responsible transition in the North Sea. This is vital for delivering the best outcomes for workers and communities, energy security, and sustainable economic growth. DESNZ will publish our Clean Energy Workforce Strategy this summer. It will set out how we intend to grow and support the talent pipeline for Clean Power 2030 and net zero by 2050.
