Energy UK comments on the launch of the Offshore Wind Sector Deal

Commenting on the launch of the Offshore Wind Sector Deal Energy UK’s Chief Executive, Lawrence Slade, said:

“Today’s sector deal, and continued investment from industry, will create a global offshore wind market set to be worth £30billion a year by 2030 and further cement the UK’s position as a world-leader in offshore wind.

“The offshore wind industry has been a great success story for the UK bringing thousands of skilled jobs and billions in investment, while delivering clean energy at an ever-falling cost to customers. As we rise to meet the future challenges of tackling climate change, this sector deal and a continued commitment from government, will ensure a strong future for renewables as we decarbonise and deliver the Industrial Strategy.”
