Offshore wind brings with it a capital outlay of over £1bn for large-scale developments and high ongoing maintenance costs. Which begs the question: should we push for more offshore growth to fast-track the economies of scale, or is it more financially responsible to take a different path?
Key topics for discussion include:
- Turbine and foundation concepts for R3: which concepts are emerging as winners and why?
- How is the industry planning for cables and grid infrastructure for far from shore wind farms?
- What are the unresolved issues and requirements and how can we move them forward?
