RenewableUK welcomes latest support for supply chain projects servicing the offshore wind sector

11 December 2025 - RenewableUK press release

Commenting on the announcement from The Crown Estate that 16 projects servicing the offshore wind sector across England, Wales and Scotland are set to share over £13 million in funding via its Supply Chain Accelerator programme, RenewableUK's Head of Supply Chain Ajai Ahluwalia said:

"It's great to see that this round of The Crown Estate's Supply Chain Accelerator programme includes such a diverse range of UK companies, supporting the transformation of ports all around the country into manufacturing centres of excellence and O&M bases for offshore wind.

“Our research shows that by focussing on high-value goods and services for our world-class offshore wind sector, we can triple our current manufacturing capacity, create thousands of extra supply chain jobs and boost the nation's economy by a further £25 billion between now and 2035. The Crown Estate is playing a key role in ensuring that we secure these economic benefits by providing fresh opportunities for communities throughout the UK."
