Project Vanguard:
Powering the Future of UK Wind Manufacturing
Project Vanguard is a UK-based initiative accelerating domestic manufacturing capacity for offshore and onshore wind, delivering scalable, cost-effective solutions to support the UK’s Net Zero targets.
Delivering 60GW by 2030
The UK aims to deliver 30GW offshore and 30GW onshore wind power within the decade, Project Vanguard directly supports this ambition.
Quayside
Facility
Plans to establish a UK-based quayside manufacturing site capable of delivering industrialised substructures and tower components.
2026
FID Goal
Project is progressing towards Final Investment Decision in late 2026, with market analysis, partner engagement, and technical planning underway.
Clean Industry Bonus Eligible
Vanguard meets criteria for AR7 and anticipated AR8 rounds, supporting UK-based, low-carbon industrial development.
Strengthening the UK’s Renewable Supply Chain
Project Vanguard
With the UK targeting 30GW of offshore wind and 30GW of onshore wind by 2030, Project Vanguard is answering the call to strengthen the UK’s renewable energy supply chain.
Supported by Round 1 of The Crown Estate’s Supply Chain Accelerator, Vanguard is focused on establishing a quayside production facility capable of serially manufacturing industrialised foundations, substructures, and modular steel components for both offshore and onshore applications.
The initiative brings together a collaboration of UK fabrication partners committed to delivering market-competitive products, applying advanced manufacturing technologies, and supporting long-term energy transition goals.
