Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what discussions she has had with (a) Cabinet colleagues, (b) the Scottish Government and (c) manufacturers on the manufacture of wind turbines in Scotland.

My Rt Hon Friend the Secretary of State discusses a range of issues with Cabinet colleagues, Scottish Government representatives and companies, including offshore wind where relevant.

The Government has announced the £960 million Green Industries Growth Accelerator to support manufacturing capacity, including for offshore wind. This will enable the UK to seize growth opportunities from the transition to net zero, unlocking private investment and creating new jobs.

The Government works with industry and the Scottish Government, through the Offshore Wind Industry Council, to assess offshore wind supply chain needs and opportunities and develop a long-term Industrial Growth Plan.
