In the Teesside Combined Mayoral Authority, grants from the Offshore Wind Manufacturing Investment Scheme (OWMIS) fund totalling £37 million supported South Tees Development Corporation’s Teesworks Offshore Manufacturing Centre and SeAH Wind’s monopile foundation facility. In the North of Tyne Combined Mayoral Authority, OMWIS fund grants totalling £21 million supported Smulders to enable the manufacture of transition pieces at their facility and JDR Cables to build a subsea cable factory. No OWMIS grants have been allocated to firms based in Wales.
