Beyond the targets: Accelerating Realisation of Floating Offshore Wind in the Celtic Sea.

The Crown Estate recently published plans to support Floating Offshore Wind (FOW) in the Celtic Sea to deliver 4GW by 2035, extending to 20GW by 2045. Questions remain as to the technical feasibility and practical solutions that will emerge, especially in sites further offshore in more aggressive environments. Much of the analysis is based on fixed offshore wind, but FOW deployments differ in several ways, in the type of platform and in relation to manufacture, installation, operations & maintenance.
