The supply chain of the UK wind power industry has faced huge challenges from lockdown measures due to the Covid-19 pandemic. A “titan” of the wind power industry, Siemens Gamesa, had to temporarily stop turbine manufacturing. To solve problems of businesses in this industry, on March 30, 2020, the British Government issued a directive on the revised FIT (feed-in tariff), thereby allowing small-scale renewable energy projects with a capacity of less than 5MW to have an additional six months to apply for the FIT pricing mechanism.
