A window of opportunity for UK offshore wind jobs
With over 2,600 wind turbines in UK waters and 13.7 of gigawatts of power – a number only surpassed globally by China – the UK offshore wind story is, so far, a success in terms of energy produced. However, the UK has missed a trick in maximising the associated jobs: France and Denmark are leading Europe’s production of offshore wind turbine blades; Spain leads in manufacturing turbine towers; and foundations and electrical substations are increasingly produced in Asia. Floating wind technology now offers the UK a new chance to drive job creation in offshore wind.
