Great British Energy, Offshore Wind and Related Network Sectors Supply Chain Subsidy Scheme

This Great British Energy, Offshore Wind and Related Network Sectors Supply Chain Subsidy Scheme is valued at £300 million and aims to support new UK manufacturing capacity for critical offshore wind and related network components. It will cover the costs of buildings, infrastructure, equipment and R&D.

Our key takeaways from the Subsidy Advice Unit (SAU) report are:

• Assessments should explain and provide evidence on how the Scheme will ensure investment is targeted at relatively disadvantaged areas to achieve the specific policy objective.
• Explanation should be included on the potential impacts of the future scheme in relation to competition. This should look at suppliers of new and existing technology and barriers to entry for additional subsidised capacity.
