AOTEAROA / NEW ZEALAND DEVELOPMENT OF THE OFFSHORE WIND SUPPLY CHAIN

The nascent offshore wind industry in New Zealand offers a unique opportunity for collaboration between the UK government and its supply chain with their New Zealand counterparts. This partnership could aid in the successful establishment of the industry, benefitting not only New Zealand by fostering industry growth but also enabling the UK supply chain to actively participate in and contribute to the market as it evolves.

This report highlights how New Zealand has one of the best offshore wind resources in the world which could produce up to 7GW by 2050, helping to fulfil the New Zealand government’s goal to double renewable generation. The UK has also developed a strong ecosystem of offshore wind companies with deep knowledge and expertise. In addition to sharing policy expertise, we want to connect UK developers and suppliers with opportunities to participate in the growth of OSW in New Zealand. In early 2024 the UK Government commissioned Xodus to undertake a high-level overview of existing domestic capabilities in New Zealand that can support the OSW sector, potential gaps where UK supply chain companies could provide support, and barriers which could impede the development of the sector or UK industry participation.
