SOWEC’s Post

Floating Offshore Wind represents a tremendous opportunity for Scotland - and proper development of the Scottish supply chain will be key to realising it.

What a way to kick off All-Energy Exhibition and Conference! As announced this morning, we’ve joined forces with ports and harbours throughout the country as part of Scottish Offshore Wind Ports Alliance (SOWPA). Scotland’s offshore wind industry is growing rapidly and despite high levels of optimism, we recognise this growth will create industry-wide challenges. Ports and harbours throughout the country will be vital to Scotland's energy transition so it is essential we exchange knowledge to address shared obstacles. This morning, SOWPA Chair Iain Sinclair, said - “It is widely recognised that ports have a critical enabling role in the industrialisation and deployment of offshore wind in the UK. Today’s announcement demonstrates that ports are motivated to take the initiative, work proactively and diligently together, and align with the whole offshore wind ecosystem, to maximise the localisation of the supply chain requirements. “SOWPA’s collective capability, knowledge and expertise is a world-leading value proposition. We have a willingness and appetite to enhance our competitiveness, address supply chain challenges and deliver against Scotland and the UK’s offshore wind ambitions.” Learn more 👉 sowpa.co.uk #orkney #orkneyfutureports #energyoforkney #renewables #energy #sowpa #scotwind #netzero #offshorewind

⚡Big day for offshore wind as RenewableUK unveils its Industrial Growth Plan (IGP) together with the Offshore Wind Industry Council, The Crown Estate and Crown Estate Scotland. The plan sets out how to triple offshore wind manufacturing capacity over the next ten years, firmly establishing the UK as a leader in a surging global market📊. We’re proud to be part of the UK’s offshore wind industry and it’s great to see how this exciting sector can come together to achieve amazing benefits - the Industrial Growth Plan details how offshore wind can boost energy security, grow the economy by £25bn and support over 10,000 jobs a year by 2035. 🤝 Read the media release and the full IGP here👇  https://lnkd.in/ep5BpFuc   #offshorewind #investment #netzero #cleanenergy 

We have a crucial part to play in delivering the ambitious vision of the Industrial Growth Plan (IGP)! 💡 Developed by RenewableUK, Offshore Wind Industry Council (OWIC), The Crown Estate and Crown Estate Scotland, the IGP highlights a targeted approach to tripling manufacturing capacity, doubling research investment and creating tens of thousands of jobs. With our annual UK Offshore Wind Supply Chain Spotlight, in collaboration with the Offshore Wind Growth Partnership , just around the corner, our latest blog sets out how we are playing our role in helping to deliver the priorities of the IGP.

If you want to know the secret to securing necessary resources for the future of energy generation, make sure to join our General Manager of Business Development, Bill Firth, at Offshore Energies UK's (OEUK) Offshore Decommissioning Conference on the 20th of November. Bill will join other industry leaders to discuss the vast opportunities in offshore wind decommissioning, including key challenges around infrastructure, resource needs, and the importance of circularity and recycling. The session will also launch OEUK’s new Decommissioning of Offshore Wind Installations Guideline and Work Breakdown Structure - both of which are critical resources for navigating the future of wind decommissioning and sustainable asset management and not to be missed.
