The Offshore Wind Growth Partnership (OWGP) – the funding body launched as part of the UK sector deal announced earlier this year – has opened its first pot to help finance development of the British offshore wind supply chain.
Being administered by government-industry R&D centre the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult, £400,000 ($500,00) will be made available to UK companies in two areas: cost reduction from advanced manufacturing techniques; and developing advanced sensors, Internet of Things and communications technologies for the fast-emerging sector.
