On-demand webinar | UK offshore wind: has Allocation Round 7 delivered a win for the wider energy sector?

The UK's seventh allocation round (AR7) for offshore wind has delivered a record-breaking 8.4 GW of capacity, marking a decisive shift in government strategy that prioritised securing substantial renewable energy capacity over achieving the lowest possible prices.

Wood Mackenzie recently held a webinar to take a 360 degree view of the UK’s AR7 outcome and ask a simple question: has AR7 delivered a win for the wider energy sector?

In the webinar, our experts covered:

• Corporate and financial outcomes: who won, who missed out, and what this means for portfolios, balance sheets and farm down strategies
• Power market impacts: where the awarded projects sit in the GB generation mix, and the implications for system flexibility and capture prices
• Supply chain and costs: what AR7 signals for OEM order books, UK manufacturing opportunities and cost and delivery trends
• Policy and market design: what the results mean for CfD design, grid constraints, and the outlook for AR8 and the next phase of offshore wind build out
