To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to (1) assess the impact, and (2) address the challenges, of the current supply chain constraints on the UK's offshore wind targets.
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
The Government has established The Mission Control for Clean Power, led by climate expert Chris Stark, which will work alongside GB Energy, a new publicly owned company, to accelerate the transition to clean power.
The Government will collaborate with the Offshore Wind Industry Council (OWIC) to address supply chain constraints within the offshore wind industry. Industry published their Industrial Growth Plan in April which sets out opportunities to grow the offshore wind supply chain.
Furthermore, the Government is preparing to launch the first phase of the British Jobs Bonus for renewables as part of Contracts for Difference Allocation Round 7.
