Recommendation 2

Developers need long-term targets and a clear pipeline of projects to unlock investment. Fully delivering on the opportunities for floating offshore wind in the Celtic Sea will require a high level of coordination across government and among public bodies. Given the scale and significance of this opportunity the UK Government will need to demonstrate clear leadership and a commitment to the industry for the long-term. The future role of the Offshore Wind Champion is uncertain under the new administration but we believe there is a clear benefit to having a champion of the sector able to drive forward developments and coordinate work across government.
