The accelerator backs early-stage development of UK offshore wind supply chain and port infrastructure projects. Eligible work spans new or expanded factories building fixed, floating or deep-water offshore wind components; ports and wet-storage sites that support construction, assembly, operations, maintenance and supply chain activity; vessel building and repair yards; and facilities for testing and demonstrating offshore wind components. Portside logistics or manufacturing kit tied to a physical site, plus repurposing, upgrading or expanding existing facilities with a clear UK use case, are also eligible.
