The UK’s export credit agency UK Export Finance (UKEF) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult to promote UK offshore wind expertise to overseas companies.

The partnership aims to bring global trading opportunities to UK suppliers and boost renewables exports.

Richard Simon-Lewis UKEF Director and Head of Business Development, Marketing and  Communications, said: “We are uniquely placed to support the government’s ambition to grow clean energy as outlined in the recent ten-point plan and this agreement will help us tap into that potential on a more granular, regional basis and increase new business in cooperation with ORE Catapult.”
