Marine Energy Wales, sponsored by the Welsh Government, is also delivering a work package to initiate and support the establishment and sustainable growth of a supply chain for the marine renewable energy sector in Wales. Seeking to facilitate phased development of the Welsh supply chain, thereby first creating and then maintaining high value manufacturing jobs in Welsh communities. Under the condition of early support, it is then expected that these jobs could be sustained long into the future through meeting the demand of an international export market, bringing added value to the Welsh economy whilst helping to drive the global green transition.

The work underway is gaining an understanding of the future needs of the floating offshore wind sector through in-depth discussions with developers, and surveying Welsh manufacturing companies to quantifiably measure how well they can meet these requirements.
