Great British Energy Supply Chain Fund: Offshore Wind and Networks
Closing Date: 31/03/2026
Capital grant funding for UK-registered companies to support the construction or expansion of manufacturing facilities producing constrained components for the offshore wind and electricity networks supply chain in the UK.
The Great British Energy Supply Chain Fund: Offshore Wind and Networks programme provides capital grant funding to support the expansion of UK manufacturing capacity for constrained components used in offshore wind and enabling electricity networks.
Demand for these components is exceeding current supply chain capacity, leading to bottlenecks, extended lead times, increased costs and project delays. These issues present risks to the delivery of key infrastructure projects.
The Fund focuses investment on the most constrained components within the offshore wind and electricity networks supply chain, with the aim of strengthening supply chain security in the UK.
The primary objective is to increase domestic manufacturing capacity for these components. A secondary objective is to create and support new and existing jobs in the UK, including within industrial clusters. A sub-objective is to encourage more resilient and sustainable production by promoting investment in shorter or greener supply chains.
The investment is expected to mobilise significant public and private funding and support employment across the sector.
