I established the Offshore Wind Energy Clearing House in September 2025. It is chaired by the Secretary General of my Department and is composed of representatives of the Offshore Wind Energy Sector and the Secretaries General of those Government Departments that have a role in the successful deployment of offshore wind energy. It has met on two occasions and will meet again later this month.
Its objective is to seek to resolve identified impediments to the timely delivery of offshore renewable energy through providing attention at the centre of Government. It invites the heads of relevant public sector bodies to meetings to discuss relevant issues. The Clearing House supports and reinforces the work of the Offshore Wind Delivery Taskforce, especially where issues cannot be resolved at Taskforce level.
