Advocacy and outreach

Championing the sector

For over fifty years, Offshore Energies UK (OEUK) has been the leading authority on the UK’s offshore energy sector.

We have consistently championed an industry that plays a vital role in the UK’s economy and energy security.

Through robust evidence, clear communication, and active stakeholder engagement, we help shape informed understanding of the sector’s contribution in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

From this trusted and authoritative position, we contribute to the development of policies that support both the industry and the UK’s energy transition goals.

Stakeholder Engagement

By mapping the political landscape and identifying key influencers, OEUK designs tailored stakeholder engagement programmes, from policy roundtables to ministerial site visits, to give voice to the sector and amplify our members’ perspectives.

About

OEUK provides the secretariat function to the All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPG) for the British Offshore Energy Industry. 

The APPG provides a valuable forum for MPs and Peers to work together on a cross-party basis to champion hydrogen, carbon capture, offshore wind, and oil and gas. It supports the UK’s green energy leadership and net-zero goals while advocating for a just transition that protects the skilled workers and meets energy needs through collaboration with governments, regulators, and communities.
