• The Offshore Wind Growth Partnership (OWGP) has launched its most ambitious funding programme to date to support the investment priorities set out in the Industrial Growth Plan (IGP).
• The Industrial Growth Fund (IGF) is designed to accelerate capital investment in domestic manufacturing of key components, systems and services into the offshore wind sector and will provide funding ranging from:

£300,000 to £25 million per supply chain project 

The programme supports capital investment projects from UK-based organisations looking to expand existing or build new supply chain facilities that align with IGP priorities including manufacturing turbine blades, cables and foundations, as well as cutting edge technology in environmental services and O&M. 

The call is open to a wide range of proposals across the existing supply chain and beyond, to support the development and expansion of UK facilities for offshore wind. Supply chain projects that meet the CIB criteria as well as those that do not are eligible to apply. 

Applications for the Industrial Growth Fund open today and will close on Friday 12th December at 17:00. The final value of the fund will be dependent on the AR7 award decisions, expected in by March 2026.
