Gigawaters 03: Working in harmony

The third episode of Energy Voice’s Gigawaters series explores the next phase of the UK’s offshore wind rollout – the new processes and systems needed to meet future challenges. EV renewables reporter Michael Behr is joined by The Crown Estate managing director for marine Gus Jaspert and Orsted UK country manager Benj Sykes to explore how offshore wind can work in a busy North Sea. The needs of fishing, shipping and defence; coastal communities; and of course, the environment, all need to be considered for projects to work in harmony with ocean users. They discuss how the UK needs to adopt a more systematic approach to reaching the UK’s clean energy goals ahead of 2030, and how all sides need to interact to ensure the country maintains its lead in offshore wind.
