<p>The Department for International Trade (DIT) makes regular assessments of the export
potential for offshore wind and actively supports UK suppliers to access identified
opportunities.</p><p>Our most recent estimate suggests an opportunity of between £1
and £2 billion up to 2020, mainly in European markets but increasingly from Asia and
other geographies.</p><p>DIT works with key UK suppliers, foreign Governments, sector
focussed trade associations and procuring authorities to increase exports in the offshore
wind sector.</p><p>In addition, UK Export Finance (UKEF) support is available for
UK exporters for all of the renewable energy sector and welcomes new applications
for support. Since 2015, UKEF has provided support on contracts worth over £200m to
UK exporters in the offshore wind sector.</p>
