Following the publication of IPPR's new report on offshore wind, 'Pump up the Volume', SSE's Head of Policy Oliver McMillen said:
"Britain has huge potential to be a world leader in offshore wind and enjoy all of the economic benefits that come with that. But the IPPR is right that this potential cannot be realised without investment at scale, which will help build the supply chain and ultimately bring down costs.
"A stable, long-term policy framework is critical to this and we strongly agree that a 2030 decarbonisation target, alongside robust, investable support mechanisms, can help outline the trajectory and give investors the certainty they need."
