The Crown Estate has today announced a net revenue profit of £1.1 billion for the UK, driven by the short-term option fees from Offshore Wind Leasing Round 4 (“Round 4”). This brings its total contribution to the Treasury to £5 billion over the past decade.
The passing of the Crown Estate Act 2025 in March 2025, granting new borrowing and investment powers, has significantly enhanced The Crown Estate’s ability to invest across its diverse portfolio to create financial, social and environmental value for the benefit of the UK.
The Crown Estate is well positioned to deliver continued long-term sustainable, cumulative growth through activities such as increasing offshore wind capacity to boost energy security; supporting nature recovery; investing in its rural portfolio; and forming new partnerships with the potential to expand its provision of science and technology space as well as its housing pipeline. These efforts aim to maximise its potential to have a positive impact across the country into the future.
