The UK celebrates 25 years of offshore wind, now supplying nearly 17% of electricity and supporting 40,000 jobs, though funding falls short of 2030 goals.
The UK marks 25 years since its first offshore wind farm opened in Blyth, Northumberland, with energy minister Michael Shanks highlighting the sector’s growth to supply nearly 17% of national electricity, support 40,000 jobs, and become the second-largest power source after gas.
He emphasized progress in technology, planning reforms, and a record £1.08 billion budget for the AR7 auction, though experts note it may only fund 5–6 GW—below the 8.4 GW needed by 2030 to phase out fossil fuels.
Advances in turbine efficiency have boosted output, and recent grid reforms aim to speed project delivery.
Offshore wind is seen as central to the UK’s clean energy transition and economic revitalization.
