Wind Power: Seas and Oceans
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps he plans to take with European partners to ensure the UK supply chain can maximise opportunities from the Joint Offshore Wind Investment Pact.
Answered by Michael Shanks
The Secretary of State signed a clean energy security agreement, the Hamburg Declaration, with European energy ministers at the North Sea Summit to progress build out of renewable energy in the North Sea and incentivise further investment. This includes an Action Plan, published on Gov.uk, which sets out concrete steps and timelines over the next months and years for both governments and industry to take in order to achieve the objectives agreed.
Working with our European neighbours and industry to develop joint offshore wind will enable us to maximise the clean energy potential for the North Sea, drive investment and job creation, and ensure energy security and resilience.
