The UK Green Investment Bank (GIB) has today announced two equity investments in the UK offshore wind sector.

Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Edward Davey said:

“The UK is number one in the world for investment in offshore wind. This news is proof of the strength of investment in British energy infrastructure - and proof that the Government’s strategy is working - supporting green jobs across the country and delivering secure energy supplies for the future. £34 billion worth of investment has been announced since 2010 thanks to our electricity market reforms which give investors long-term certainty.”
