The UK government and Sumitomo Corporation have entered into a significant agreement where the corporation will invest GBP 7.5 billion in infrastructure and renewable energy projects in the UK by 2035. This investment will particularly target offshore wind and hydrogen projects, aligning with the UK's emphasis on clean energy and decarbonisation. Sumitomo Corporation expressed its commitment to driving growth in the clean energy sector of the UK. Projects like the Galloper and Five Estuaries offshore wind farms are key beneficiaries of this investment. The Minister for Investment, Baroness Poppy Gustafsson, sees this collaboration as a testament to the confidence in the UK economy and its industrial strategy. The UK government is gearing up to launch the Contract for Difference Allocation Round 7 (AR7) to further support clean energy initiatives. Additionally, a GBP 350 million Supply Chain Investment Programme is being established to boost the construction of infrastructure for offshore wind projects, indicating a strong push towards sustainable energy development in the UK.
