RenewableUK's Chief Executive, Dan McGrail, and Executive Director of Policy and Engagement, Ana Musat, sat down recently to discuss the new Labour government's first week in power. They discussed a number of key areas for the #RenewableEnergy sector, including: 🌪 Labour's lifting of the onshore wind ban 🔋 The next steps for GB Energy 💷 Critical upcoming decisions around AR6 and future clean energy auctions 📑 The opportunity for offshore wind to forge ahead and produce its own industrial strategy.

Offshore wind farms are critical infrastructure, helping to keep the lights on. A cyber-attack hitting one or more large wind farms could have a potentially devastating impact! What can be done to avoid these acts of modern digital piracy? DNV’s Ioannis Papadopoulos shares his insights of offshore wind cyber security threats with RenewableUK https://lnkd.in/dyyEZpzh #OffshoreWind #CyberSecurity #Digital #WindEnergy

Fifteen months in and finally got to my first offshore wind farm, visiting Flotation Energy's Kincardine. Located 15 km off the coast of Aberdeen, and in waters ranging from 60 to 80m deep, the largest floating offshore wind farm in the world is capable of powering nearly 35,000 homes in Scotland. Huge thanks to the Flotation Energy team and vessel crew who made it all happen. lovely to spend the day with the inimitable Ophelia Maxwell too!! RenewableUK #offshorewind #floatingoffshorewind

A pretty spectacular trip yesterday as Scott Young FIEP and I got to visit our first offshore windfarm. #Kincardine is the world’s largest floating offshore windfarm, powering 35,000 homes 🔌 A huge thank you to Flotation Energy and Allan MacAskill for hosting the visit RenewableUK

What big things have happened in energy in the past week? 🤔 🟢The de facto onshore wind ban lifted 🟢 A new Ministerial team at Department for Energy Security and Net Zero established 🟢The launch of a new Mission Control centre with Chris Stark 🟢A National Wealth Fund TaskForce announced Here’s Energy Secretary, Ed Miliband, showing us the pace we’re moving at to make Britain a clean energy superpower 👇

⚡ In case you missed it, RenewableUK released data from EnergyPulse at Global Offshore Wind last month showing the world has reached 75GW of offshore wind capacity this year ! 🌍 Although the industry is a global one, the UK has played, and will continue to play a huge role in this growth - boasting the second largest capacity 🥈and building the first 🥇 gigawatt scale offshore wind farms. 🕘 The timeline below charts the innovations in policy and technology that got us there. Open up the video below in full screen, sound on 🔊 and look back at how far we've come Thanks to our Global Offshore Wind event partners who helped us put this timeline together - Equinor, Ørsted, SSE Renewables, RWE, ScottishPower Renewables, Vestas and Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult. What will the next few years hold for the wind sector?

Despite there being over 12GW of renewable energy projects able to enter the AR6 auction this year, with many projects carried over from 2023, the current budget set by the Secretary of State means that only a fraction of these projects will be able to receive investment. The budget for AR6 therefore needs to be uplifted to maximise investment in these shovel-ready projects, ensuring confidence is restored and benefits are unlocked. A greater volume of contracts awarded means more investment in offshore wind, onshore wind and solar projects, resulting in lower bills for consumers and greater energy security, whilst ensuring supply chains strengthen and grow, creating high-quality and well-paid jobs that are distributed across the whole country. 📰 https://lnkd.in/eFyAJnyZ #RenewableEnergy #OnshoreWind #OffshoreWind #CleanEnergy
