The Offshore Wind Growth Partnership (OWGP) has allocated £2.4 million to nine companies in the UK supply chain, with the aim of boosting their capabilities and expanding the industry's capacity.

This financial support, offered through the OWGP’s Development Funding initiative, backs projects that correspond with the priorities outlined in the Industrial Growth Plan to tackle significant areas of supply chain enhancement.

The applications that received funding encompass a wide variety of growth sectors, such as electrical systems and cables, foundational and substructural work, intelligent environmental assessments and installations, along with operations and maintenance.

These proposals were subjected to a "comprehensive" review process, with emphasis placed on submissions that presented near-market solutions, demonstrated customer engagement and interest, and had a clear and credible aspiration for growth in the industry.

The companies chosen include Airspection Limited, BPP Cables, Fennex, HydroSurv Unmanned Survey, Innovair, Kinewell Energy, MJR Controls, SeaThor and Slipform Engineering.

Lynne McIntosh-Grieve, head of programme delivery at OWGP, said: "It's wonderful to announce the companies selected through our latest programme, which will support a diverse portfolio of projects from UK supply chain companies set to strengthen the sector’s ability to deliver offshore wind at scale.

"The record number of high-quality applications we received in this funding round demonstrates the ambition and readiness of companies to meet the growing demand in the UK offshore wind market.

"We are proud to support these nine projects, which will accelerate near-to-market solutions, build capacity and deliver lasting benefits for the sector and the economy."
