The future of offshore wind
Bloomberg New Energy Finance anticipates that the global offshore wind market will grow to 115GW by 2030 – a six-fold increase in 12 years! The opportunities are exciting, international and significant. The ramp-up required will be transformative – a golden age for offshore wind. Our industry continues to be innovative and tenacious.
The world-leading UK market has the potential to deliver 34.5GW, floating turbines are already being deployed in deeper waters, and record-breaking low prices have made offshore wind more competitive than oil and gas. With the UK, Northern Europe and China driving installations, and the US and Taiwan’s gigawatt markets emerging in the next decade, offshore wind is going global.
Expert conference
Find out what’s next for global offshore wind and the UK market. With strong links across the platform to both the UK Sector Deal and global market developments, this international conference will provide a comprehensive view of trends, new thinking, next generation technologies, opportunities and challenges, as well as a 40 year view of offshore wind’s role in the global energy system.
Keynote political speakers include the Energy and Clean Growth Minister Claire Perry and the Sector Champion for Offshore Wind, Baroness Brown of Cambridge, who will be addressing the industry from the podium for the first time since her appointment was announced in March. Baroness Brown is championing the industry’s work with Government, to deliver a transformative Sector Deal creating thousands of additional skilled jobs and billions of pounds worth of export opportunities between now and 2030.
