This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We understand that you are concerned about any profits made by off shore wind farms within the Crown Estate, but we're not exactly sure what you'd like to happen.

The Crown Estate's income, including from offshore wind, is returned to the UK Government Treasury. The Sovereign Grant is calculated as 25% of the income from two years previously. The Government has announced that from next year, this will be reduced to 12% of the Crown Estate's net profits. We could accept a petition calling for this to be further reduced, so that more of the revenue is available to investment by the Government.
