The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what his planned timetable is for the implementation of the cross-border wind energy projects agreed under Annex B of the Hamburg Declaration.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The Hamburg Declaration sets a collective ambition of 100 GW of offshore wind cooperation projects by 2050. Future GB co-ordinated projects will be guided by domestic strategic energy planning conducted by our National Energy System Operator (NESO), which is due to be consulted on in Q1 2027.
