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.
