The Floating Offshore Wind Task Force has been created to ensure that the UK stays at the forefront of this cutting-edge technology, creating thousands of new jobs and attracting billions in private investment.

RenewableUK and the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult have worked with the UK, Scottish and Welsh Governments to set up the Task Force. It will include leading companies who are operating and developing floating projects around the UK, senior representatives from the UK and devolved governments and key stakeholder organisations such as The Crown Estate and Crown Estate Scotland.

The Task Force’s vision is to ensure the UK maximises the benefits of this burgeoning industry by capturing significant market share not only in the UK by also by exporting our technology and expertise around the world.

RenewableUK’s CEO Dan McGrail said: “The Task Force will lay the groundwork for the UK to become a floating wind superpower in the decades ahead. I’m very pleased that we have support from the UK, Scottish and Welsh governments to convene this ground-breaking group which will chart our course to capitalise on this innovative technology.”
