Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support wind turbine construction in England.

The UK has 11.3GW of offshore wind installed with a further 9.1GW in construction. The Government has a target of 40GW by 2030, including 1GW of floating wind. The fourth Contract for Difference Allocation Round is currently open and will bring forward new projects.

As set out in the Net Zero strategy, the Government is providing £380 million for the UK’s world leading offshore wind sector, investing in supply chains, infrastructure and early co-ordination of offshore transmission networks, securing jobs and benefitting communities across the UK.
