The U.K. will invest £160 million to expand its offshore wind manufacturing sector in the Humber region in northern England, the Ministry of Business and Industry announced on Monday.

The investments are being rolled out as part of Prime Minister Boris Johnson's 10-point roadmap for the U.K.'s "green industrial revolution," which envisions a massive boost of Britain's offshore wind capacity and the creation of up to 250,000 green jobs.

In a statement, Johnson said that the investments would serve to develop "the next generation of wind turbines, create new jobs, export opportunities and clean power."
