RenewableUK Seeks Plan For Large-Scale Deployment Of Floating Wind

RenewableUK, the trade body for the wind and marine energy industries in the UK, launched a new industry group on Monday with the intention of developing a strategy for the large-scale deployment of floating wind technology. The Floating Wind Steering Group, developed by RenewableUK in partnership with Scottish Renewables — the renewable energy trade body for Scotland — will meet regularly in an effort to develop a strategy and consensus vision for developing the future of floating wind technology, as well as seeking to explore the business case for floating wind’s continued development across the UK. The Steering Group will be made up of representatives from a range of developers and supply chain companies, including Equinor, GE, Shell, and the UK’s Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult (ORE Catapult).
