In November 2014 the Offshore Wind Industry Council adopted an industry-wide methodology for reporting on UK Content. This reporting helps industry hold itself to account on the commitment to reach 50% UK content, while charting progress and reporting to a wider public. This figure will show total UK content and break this down into the three main phases of development (devex), manufacture & construction (capex) and operation (opex).
The first data will be submitted to RenewableUK by industry in summer 2015 for publication later in the year.
