Recommendation 3

The UK Government must set targets for floating offshore wind beyond 2030 up to 2045. Alongside these targets it should work with The Crown Estate to provide visibility on future leasing opportunities in the Celtic Sea beyond the current leasing round and bring forward a strategy setting out how this will be delivered. The UK Government should also provide clarity on where leadership for this strategy lies within government. These targets and the strategy for achieving them should be provided prior to the conclusion of the upcoming leasing round.
