• The percentage of the total undiscounted expenditure by the wind farm asset owner on a wind farm that is ultimately spent through contracts awarded to companies operating in the UK
• Excludes the value of contracts to UK companies that is spent on subcontracts to companies not operating in the UK
• Includes the value of contracts to non-UK companies that is spent on subcontracts to companies operating in the UK

Implications for Northern Ireland
• There is long term economic benefit from an offshore wind farm off the NI coast
• Local suppliers may not benefit automatically to a significant degree
• Owners have a greater incentive during O&M to develop a local supply chain than they do during construction
• Most Irish Sea projects can be operated from local ports. The exceptions are the Celtic Array projects
• Northern Ireland companies should look beyond the Irish sea market
