Recommendation
The UK Government should set out a clear timeline for the allocation of FLOWMIS and commit to ensuring Welsh ports receive at least half of the available funding.
Government Response Summary
The government states FLOWMIS opened for applications on 30th March 2023 and that funding awards will be based on a project’s ability to demonstrate value for money and their ability to meet the strategic objectives of the scheme, but does not commit to a timeline or specific allocation for Welsh ports.

The Floating Offshore Wind Manufacturing Investment Scheme (FLOWMIS) opened for applications on 30th March 2023. FLOWMIS is a competitive process and the balance of funding across different parts of the UK will depend on the applications that we receive. Any funding awards will be based on a project’s ability to demonstrate value for money and their ability to meet the strategic objectives of the scheme.
