The UK government is pumping £31m ($41.7m) into the domestic floating offshore wind sector as it looks to drive deployment of the green technology.
Some 11 projects are receiving a share of the money which is matched by more than £30m from industry, to boost the sector by £60m, the UK’s Business Department (Beis) said.
The funding, of up to £10m per project, aims to support research and development of technology for floating offshore wind, and bring down the costs of building and deploying the renewable power source more quickly.
