  • Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering
    Building Offshore Wind in England CORE: Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering BUSINESS IS 2 Building Offshore Wind in England Ministerial Foreword Offshore wind is a UK success story and the UK is open for business. The UK is the world leader in offshore wind. We have more offshore wind installed than anywhere else in the world. We are an island nation, blessed with strong winds and shallow seas – and this energy resource is on our doorstep. We are determined to move to cleaner electricity generation and offshore wind has an important role to play in our long term plan for a balanced, low carbon energy mix. I want the UK to secure the economic benefits of this new industry. Through our offshore wind industrial strategy, the Government is committed to working in partnership with business to build a competitive, innovative UK supply chain for offshore wind, delivering jobs and economic growth. Building a strong supply chain needs the commitment and expertise of local partners, working alongside central government to support businesses who want to invest here. The Centres for Offshore Renewable Engineering (CORE) partnership offers an integrated and cooperative approach between Government and Local Enterprise Partnerships in England, to provide the best possible support to businesses choosing England as an investment location. The Rt Hon Matthew Hancock MP Minister of State for Business, Enterprise and Energy CORE brings together the relevant expertise from UK Central Government and the six major investment hubs in England to support business growth and showcase opportunities for foreign direct investment (FDI) for the offshore wind sector.

  • Offshore Wind Cost Reduction Pathways Study This Study Would Not Have Been Possible Without the Input, Opinion and Review of the Offshore Wind Renewable Industry
    Offshore Wind Cost Reduction Pathways Study This study would not have been possible without the input, opinion and review of the offshore wind renewable industry. Content discussed and analysed in this report is as a direct result of industry input and data provision. The Crown Estate would like to thank the participants who took part in one-to-one meetings, workshops, debates and discussions and who were involved in compiling and validating the information which forms the basis of this study. For a full list of acknowledgements, please see the acknowledgements section in this report. Foreword For the UK, offshore wind is a story of many successes. We have the world’s biggest offshore wind market, the world’s most attractive investment environment, and an unparalleled record of deployment. Five of the ten largest offshore wind farms – including the top two – are in British seas. These successes are fitting: ours is an island nation, blessed with copious wind and shallow seas. If we are to match our clean energy ambitions, we must take full advantage of this potent natural resource. We believe that the offshore wind industry can and must evolve to be more competitive and forward looking. That in turn will boost the security of our energy supplies, create jobs, and attract further inward investment. Realising offshore wind’s potential is crucial to meeting our 2020 renewable energy targets. But we have a responsibility to deliver a low-carbon future at the lowest cost to consumers. That is why we welcome the Offshore Wind Cost Reduction Pathways Study, which identifies and quantifies cost reduction opportunities for the offshore wind industry.
