UK offshore wind 'dragged into Brexit row as Brussels cries foul over local content'

Britain’s plans for massive offshore wind expansion have been dragged into simmering tensions between London and Brussels over post-Brexit relations, according to a UK media report.

EU officials are pushing back against the emphasis given to meeting local content goals as the UK prepares to award contract-for-difference (CfD) power deals in a 12GW bidding round later this year that is expected to be dominated by offshore wind, claimed The Guardian, citing diplomatic sources.
