Future Energy Wales 2023 in full swing. RenewableUK Cymru #rukfew23 Join me at the RenewableUK stand for a look at the industry’s go-to market intelligence platform #EnergyPulse. Used to inform the Future Energy Wales: The Critical Role of Welsh Wind Power.

It is day two at #RUKGOW24 🌊 and our Programme Director Sarah Pirie will be speaking on stage for panel session A6: “I feel the need... The need for speed!” - The pace of offshore wind delivery💨 Make sure to stop by at 10:30am to hear Sarah discuss the panel's following topics: • How can the offshore wind industry keep the pace up when supply chain and finance demand is increasing? • How can the mandate to drastically expand offshore wind deployment and stay on course to net zero be protected in the face of political uncertainty? • How quickly should wind turbine size increase – or not – to accelerate the energy transition in a way the offshore wind industry can sustain? #renewableuk RenewableUK Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult #gowmanchester #globaloffshorewind #enbw #offshorewindevents

Wind power is one of the largest sources of #renewableelectricity in the UK and Ireland and is vital to meeting #NetZero by 2050. In order to meet this, we would need to install more than one new turbine everyday for the next decade. Take a look below for further insights into offshore wind and watch our video of CEO, Dr Andrew Woods as he speaks to @investNI on the importance of renewable energy to CATAGEN's net zero technologies and our economy - https://lnkd.in/ewTqnsss #greengrowth #offshorewind #renewableenergy #technologysolutions

“We have reached a [#offshorewind] turbine size that will meet all of our cost goals and now we need to build a lot of them - 80% of our resource is in deepwater so #floatingwind is the way forward. Now we need to industrialize, optimize and standardize”: National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s Walt Musial at AFloat - American Floating Offshore Wind Technical Summit #afloat23 #newenergy #energytransition #industrialtransformation

Wise statements from NREL - I would add however that these considerations not only apply to floating but also to fixed bottom. We need to keep in mind that still very significant investments will be required across the broader offshore "ecosystem" (including vessels, ports, etc.) to support the build-out of the large required volume on the net zero journey. Industrialization and standardization are pre-requisites for that.

Looking forward to talking about the work we do at Renewable Parts to enable #CircularWind at this webinar tomorrow.

Day 2 of #allenergy and Ian Taylor Project Director of Thistle Wind Partners is presenting on ‘How can we accelerate utility-scale floating offshore wind development? Let’s look to Formula 1 Rules’ at the Marine Renewable Energy and Floating Offshore Wind Theater. Challenging the norm. #floatingwind #offshorewind #innovation #supplychain

There's a great public access overlook on the north side of the pier where I recently took my 14-year-old granddaughter to see the staged components and the SAL vessel. Impressed by the scale of the operation and glad to introduce her to our energy future. Some key questions come to mind: - Why are Connecticut taxpayers subsidizing foreign investors? - What are the long-term maintenance expenses associated with offshore wind, especially considering General Electric's concerns about sustainability using larger components? - Why is our federal government promoting costly energy initiatives without prioritizing upgrades to our electric grid? Just some food for thought...

Not long until the global #offshorewind community converges on Manchester, UK for this year's RenewableUK's Global Offshore Wind #RUKGOW24. The #EastofEngland will be there to share the unparalleled opportunities in offshore wind in the East.

This paper on property values and windfarms will likely get more play in the climate press. It says that the value of real estate in proximity to windfarms declines. In some instances, that decline is erased over time. Much is made of the visual impact of windfarms, but two other factors contribute: the noise of windfarms and the visual impact of the associated transmission lines. Offshore windfarms mitigate both of those, but offshore wind costs about 3x more than onshore wind. I surmise opponents of wind power will use this study in future permitting processes. #renewables #wind #windenergy #renewableenergy #windfarms #electricity Renewable Energy Bill Shevlin Ralph Birkhoff David Blackmon Oscar L.
