Update 14 June 2023: closing date extended
We have made changes to the Scheme Allocation and corresponding
changes to Essential Project Criteria - C3. As a result of these
changes, we have extended the scheme closing date to
11:59pm (UK BST) on Sunday 27 August 2023.
We have revised the guidance and application forms to reflect the
changes.
The government announced up to £160 million in grant funding for
certain investments in the floating offshore wind sector. The
Floating Offshore Wind Manufacturing Investment Scheme
(FLOWMIS)
was established to distribute the funding to support critical
port infrastructure that will enable the delivery of floating
offshore wind.
The potential benefits to the UK economy include:
- enabling the delivery of our 5GW 2030 deployment ambition by
securing additional suitable port capacity necessary to scale up
and accelerate floating offshore wind deployment in the UK
- increasing capability in the UK floating offshore wind supply
chain, driving cost reduction and the commercialisation of
floating offshore wind technology
- delivering industrial growth and associated regional economic
and social benefits (for example, quality jobs and increased
GVA)
- contributing to our target to achieve net zero by 2050
The guidance outlines the process through which we will
distribute scheme funding. It details:
- how the scheme will work
- the eligibility criteria
- how to apply
- how applications will be assessed
- how funding will ultimately be distributed (by way of Grant
Funding Agreements), including the contractual arrangements
- how successful projects will report progress
