But the analysis also finds that supply chain constraints in many of the key components needed in offshore wind farms are already starting to be felt in the global market, and that the UK should build “strategic” new factories and manufacturing capabilities to help it overcome supply chain risks.

According to RenewableUK, the domestic offshore wind industry currently employs around 32,000...
