# UK eyes port upgrades to support floating offshore wind

The UK's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero is considering funding upgrades for Associated British Ports' Port Talbot and the Port of Cromarty Firth to bolster floating offshore wind infrastructure. This initiative, part of the Floating Offshore Wind Manufacturing Investment Scheme, aims to enhance the UK's capacity to manufacture and assemble large floating wind turbines. With an ambitious goal of 5 GW of floating wind capacity by 2030, significant investment in port facilities is deemed crucial for tapping into the vast potential of floating wind energy, especially in deeper waters where wind speeds are higher.
