National Offshore Wind Research & Development Consortium’s Post

Undoubtedly, floating wind technology is pivotal for unlocking the full potential of offshore wind energy in driving the transition towards sustainable energy. While commercial projects are increasingly being developed, the industry remains heavily influenced by ongoing innovations in technology. But which innovations hold the potential to truly revolutionize the sector, and how should supply chain and infrastructure prepare to enable the upcoming commercial phase of floating wind?   Join Denis Matha, our Global Head of Floating Wind and a distinguished expert panel including Henrik Stiesdal, Alberto Peña Sicilia and Rob Harding, for an enlightening discussion on 'Floating Wind Structure and Engineering – Which kind of innovations would truly change the game?' as part of the Recharge Digital Roundtable Series: Floating Wind Forum 2024. This digital event will be held on April 11, 2024, providing valuable insights how the next wave of offshore wind could transform the trajectory of the international energy industry.   Secure your free spot for the digital-only event here: https://lnkd.in/e6evzyv9     #DecarbonizingForNetZero #ThePartnerForSustainableChange #OffshoreWindEnergy #FloatingWind

Wind energy—both offshore and land-based—plays an especially important role in achieving a clean energy economy. This week, wind energy stakeholders and EERE leaders met at the Floating Offshore Wind Shot™ Summit for a deep dive into the future of wind power. Today, we are highlighting some of our recent wind-wins: 🌬️ GE Vernova has achieved a milestone by assembling the nacelle for the largest wind turbine ever built on U.S. soil at their newly expanded plant in Schenectady, NY: https://lnkd.in/e9_9iUiP 🌬️ The South Fork Wind offshore farm, jointly developed by Ørsted and Eversource Energy, in Rhode Island is powering 70k homes: https://lnkd.in/eWVuAZJK As we look to enter a new era of renewable power, harnessing the power of the wind plays a critical role. See how we are making it happen: https://lnkd.in/gk8ia-u #WindPower #CleanEnergyWins #OffshoreWind

𝙒𝙚'𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙞𝙜 𝙨𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙣! 🎬 A few weeks ago, our Managing Director, David Brennan, was asked to take part in Energi Coast's promotional video - Beyond the Horizon. The short film delves into why North East England is a leading force in offshore wind and the opportunities that are available for both current and future offshore wind development. The North East holds such a strong capability to continue developing plans for floating and fixed bottom offshore wind, the question is only when.

We are proud to be sponsoring the upcoming session 'Australia - How to Turn an Emerging Offshore Wind Market into an Established Market' at WindEnergy Hamburg. This event brings together key players in the offshore wind industry to discuss the critical drivers for advancing Australia’s wind market. 📅16:00 - 17:00, 24 September 2024 📍Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH Hall B1 Upper Floor Our Co-Founder Naomi Campbell will be joining a panel of esteemed experts including: Michael Hannibal (Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners) Tejjas Parmar (Suzlon Group) Myriam Samba (BlueFloat Energy) Casper Frost Thorhauge (Skyborn Renewables) Moderated by Stewart Mullin, the session will explore the key factors driving the transition from emerging to established offshore wind markets, with a particular focus on how Australia's unique landscape shapes its offshore wind potential. Additionally, the discussion will cover actionable strategies to accelerate this transition and unlock the full potential of offshore wind in Australia. #WindEnergyHamburg #OffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #AustraliaEnergy #Sustainability

News from the US!!! 🇺🇸 Following the first multistate #offshorewind solicitation, #Massachusetts and #RhodeIsland have selected nearly 2.9 GW of offshore #wind power. From the total capacity, Massachusetts selected 2,678 MW from three projects, while Rhode Island awarded 200 MW from the SouthCoast Wind project, marking the largest offshore wind procurement in New England's history. 🚀 The key projects include: ⬇ -      SouthCoast Wind (1,287 MW total): Massachusetts awarded 1,087 MW, and Rhode Island took 200 MW -   New England Wind 1 (791 MW) -      Vineyard Wind 2 (up to 800 MW of its 1,200 MW capacity) Together, these projects represent a major step forward in clean energy development and economic growth. ⚡ You can learn more about the latest developments in offshore wind in the #US using the link below: ⬇ 🔗 https://lnkd.in/d5VBE_Zi #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #WindEnergy #Sustainability #GreenEnergy #EnergyTransition

If you are interested in #floatingwind you should definitely listen to this digital roundtable session with my dear colleague Denis Matha. He has long experience and really a profound knowledge of this topic. #wind #offshorewind #floating #thepartnerforsustainablechange Ramboll

🎬 Beyond the Horizon Take a look and hear about the opportunities that are being realised for Fixed and Floating Offshore Wind off the North East Coast of England. 10 to 16 GW of shallow, deep fixed and floating offshore wind capacity remains to be developed off the North East Coast of England. The opportunity is enormous! NOF Energi Coast 👇

#KGLawFirm recently participated in the 28th National Energy Conference, "Energy and Development 2024," organized by the IENE - Institute of Energy for South - East Europe. This event brought together distinguished policymakers, industry leaders, and experts to discuss the evolving energy landscape and its strategic implications for the region. Our Senior Associate, Iakovos Koulouris, contributed to the discussion on "Evaluation of Objectives and Challenges for the Development of Offshore Wind Farms." His presentation offered a comprehensive assessment of the strategic goals and regulatory challenges associated with offshore wind energy development, underscoring our firm's dedication to thought leadership in the energy sector. #RegulatoryInsights #EnergyInnovation #EnergyTransition

Australia's offshore wind industry continues to gain momentum, with industry stakeholders at the 2024 Offshore Wind Conference in Sydney projecting further acceleration in 2025. In 2024, the industry achieved one of its most significant milestones with the award of the first Feasibility Licences in Victoria – followed by further regulatory progress and the unveiling of stakeholder objectives and pathways for 2025. In 2025, we expect to see further awards of Feasibility Licences across the nation, together with continued regulatory, government and industry support to facilitate developers progressing their projects. As proud sponsors of the Conference, our lawyers played an active role in the discussions, with Jack Brumpton as a panellist giving his insights into the international perspective on offshore wind, and Caroline Rowe as moderator for a panel focused on the investment landscape for offshore wind projects.
