Identifying the challenge

Capacity issues

The potential of the UK’s leading offshore wind sector can only be fully grasped if the grid is rapidly scaled up to provide greater capacity and accommodate the growing supply. Unless there is immediate action, developers will be left in difficulty as any progress will be halted.

Unlocking investment

To ensure the longevity of offshore power grids, it is essential to have robust financing in place to ensure that projects can be delivered within an optimal timeframe.

Getting to grips with new technology

Everyone wants the UK to hit its ambitious offshore wind deployment targets, but this challenge requires developers to roll out new and bigger technologies, many of which haven’t been used before and some of which are yet to be created.
