SSE Renewables published Delivering 40GW of Offshore Wind in the UK by 2030 on 15 April, which outlines a nine-point action plan in which governments, regulators and statutory bodies will need to work with the offshore wind industry to reach 40GW of offshore wind by 2030.
Areas of focus include removing barriers to the consenting process; the reform of electricity market design; the development of a more efficient approach to development of grid infrastructure needed to integrate offshore wind into the electricity system, the need for floating wind and for annual CfD rounds.
