UK Announces Record £800 Million Support for Offshore Wind Farms

The move aims to bolster green energy capacity amid criticism for insufficient climate action.

The UK government announces a record £800 million support package for offshore wind farms, aiming to boost the nation's green energy capacity.
The support comes after a failed auction last year, where no bids were submitted for offshore wind farm development.
The total green electricity support package is valued at up to £1.025 billion, including solar farms, floating offshore wind, and wave power.
Critics argue the budget falls short of addressing the urgent need for action on climate change and competing with international green investment.
The government also secures a £160 million deal with Hitachi for nuclear power plant sites, potentially for small modular reactors.
