A new Offshore Wind Industry Council Co-Chair has been appointed to lead the next phase of job creation in UK’s green economic recovery.

Thousands of new jobs are being created in offshore wind which is one of the UK’s most successful growth industries. The sector is attracting billions in private investment over the course of this decade, as we quadruple our current capacity to meet the Prime Minister’s target of 40 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind by 2030.

Vattenfall’s UK Country Manager Danielle Lane is taking over from Ørsted’s Benj Sykes, who has successfully led the offshore wind sector as Co-Chair of the joint Government and industry body for the past six and a half years.

UK Energy Minister Kwasi Kwarteng said: “With record amounts of offshore wind on the grid, and plans underway to support 60,000 jobs in the industry by 2030, it has never been more crucial for government and industry to work hand in hand.

“That’s why I am delighted to welcome Danielle to her new role as Co-Chair of the Offshore Wind Industry Council, and I look forward to working with her.”
