The United Kingdom has finally announced the launch of its much-anticipated Offshore Wind Sector Deal, which will see the country’s offshore industry invest at least £250 million so as to ensure offshore wind generates more than 30% of the country’s electricity by 2030.
The UK Government is expected to announce its long-awaited Offshore Wind Sector deal sometime this week and has revealed that it intends to use the Deal to triple “green collar” jobs to 27,000 by 2030 and ensure at least a third of all jobs are held by women.
The UK offshore wind industry has this week committed to working with the Government on a “transformative” sector deal that could spur £48 billion in new investments in the country’s infrastructure and increase offshore wind capacity to 30 gigawatts by 2030.
