The application window has opened for the Offshore Wind Growth Partnership’s (OWGP’s ) 2025 Manufacturing Facility Support Programme, which has £2 million of funding available to boost the UK’s offshore wind manufacturing capacity.
The programme offers grants of up to £500,000 per project to support early-stage, pre-investment activities that pave the way for significant capital investment in UK manufacturing.
The MFSP is designed to support businesses seeking to build new or expand existing manufacturing facilities that serve the offshore wind sector and align with the strategic priorities outlined in the Offshore Wind Industrial Growth Plan. Companies must be registered and operate in the UK to be eligible.
Successful projects will be expected to generate at least £5 million in capital investment within two years, £5 million in annual revenue and 20 new UK jobs within five years.
Funding will be awarded on a competitive basis and applications must have a long-term business plan that covers investment plans, forecast market share, revenue, profitability, employment and exports.
The deadline to submit an application is Friday 19 September at 5pm.
