It is still early days for floating wind development, but the pipeline of projects is growing, and new markets are emerging. New technology and the development of local supply chains will help bring down the overall cost of offshore wind facilities and enable more floating wind projects to move forward. Industry analysts forecast about 3-19 GW of new floating wind capacity by 2030, with the number of floating wind units projected to grow to 12,000 by 2040. Wind developers have adopted floating designs from the oil and gas industry, including spar, semisubmersible, TLP, and hybrid-based systems. Demand is increasing for the conversion of wave and solar energy into power with floating systems as well.
Oil and gas operators and renewable energy developers are benefiting from cross-industry partnering and the sharing of skills, resources, and lessons learned for offshore energy development. But more collaboration is needed to improve the overall economics and carbon footprint of the offshore industry.
This new conference aims to bring together global operators, developers, and supply chain companies to explore the technologies, construction and installation techniques, operational challenges, and regulatory/permitting issues that face today’s offshore energy industry.
