Map of the UK’s wind energy supply chain and areas of industrial growth

23 June 2025 - RenewableUK guidance

Guidance produced by RenewableUK, utilising the EnergyPulse market dataset, following a mapping exercise of the wind industry's supply chain.

The map highlights the locations of the industry’s 1,996 supply chain companies, with a significant presence in over 70 parliamentary constituencies, and categorises them according to a diverse range of activities, from environmental surveying and site design, to blade and cable manufacturing. Alongside this, the map outlines the parts of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland servicing the UK’s world-leading offshore wind sector, where seven coastal regions known as industrial ‘clusters’ have developed through a concentration of companies involved in the industry, and where there is an expectation that other firms will join them as the supply chain continues to grow.

The map also charts the growth of the wind industry’s workforce, following publication of a new report from RenewableUK and the Offshore Wind Industry Council which shows that the number of people working in the sector now stands at over 55,000.
