The claim
Last year, the Conservatives oversaw a disastrous result – with ZERO new offshore wind projects. Labour came in and fixed this. The results are power for over 11 million homes with a new supply of clean homegrown energy.
Original publisher’s rating
The auction round in 2023 was considered a failure for offshore wind largely because the price which companies were allowed to charge was too low. This price was increased before the election by the previous government. The current Government’s contribution was to increase the budget available in this year’s auction, which likely increased the amount of renewables commissioned.
