Wind in the sails of the offshore wind industry council
The first meeting of the new offshore wind sector council took place recently co-chaired by Keith Anderson, Chief Corporate Officer (CCO) of ScottishPower and Business and Energy Minister Michael Fallon.
The meeting comes as government and the industry prepare to deliver the offshore wind industrial strategy which will be published in the coming months. The strategy aims to increase investment in the UK supply chain and outline how government and industry will work together to build and maintain a competitive advantage in this crucial sector.
Business and Energy Minister Michael Fallon said:
Britain has a real chance to lead the world in the offshore wind sector, not least because of our weather. I am determined that government and industry should work together and make sure the UK makes the most of the opportunity for growth and jobs that this sector presents, as well as a vital contribution to our energy mix.
