In 2024, the Offshore Wind Industrial Growth Plan (IGP) identified key priorities for strengthening the UK’s offshore wind industry. Based on a national ‘make or buy’ analysis of critical components and services, the IGP highlights areas essential to domestic supply or where the UK has the potential to build global competitiveness.
The Regional Growth Prospectuses shine a light on these growth capabilities, highlighting tailored insights at a regional level based on factors such as the existing supply chain capability, port infrastructure and wider future growth.
The Regional Growth Prospectuses, commissioned by the Offshore Wind Industry Council and The Crown Estate have been delivered in collaboration with the UK offshore wind clusters to set out the national supply chain and port capabilities, using the Industrial Growth Plan (IGP) framework.
Each of these explores in depth the characteristics of a region or cluster, their contributions to the offshore wind supply chain and their potential for further growth.
