The Challenge

of UK energy still comes from oil and gas

50 %

of that is produced here in the UK

jobs lost each month without reform

economic value lost since 2019 due to policy uncertainty

Without action, domestic production will halve again by 2030 — weakening energy security and accelerating job losses.

OEUK’s plan will boost UK growth, jobs, and climate progress through fiscal reform and stable investment.

Building the UK’s Energy Future

The “Offshore Energy Mission Control” will coordinate oil, gas, wind, CCUS, and hydrogen — delivering a joined-up strategy for a resilient, low-carbon energy system.

  • Unites government, regulators, and industry in one plan
  • Accelerates licensing, investment, and infrastructure delivery
  • Ensures half of UK energy demand is met from homegrown sources
