GROWTH
Floating wind provides new opportunities and challenges for the UK supply chain. In the next 30 years, 20,000 floating substructures could be needed to decarbonise energy systems across the globe¹.
The UK offshore wind industry must look to its strengths and seize the opportunity to develop and export a leading industry in dynamic power cables, substructure fabrication and mooring and anchor system production.
Green Volt will bring significant regional and national level inward investment and is estimated to deliver a total of over £2.5 billion of Gross Value Added (GVA), with over £1.3 billion GVA in the UK alone.
