Tim Pick - Britain's First Offshore Wind Champion (recorded at Global Offshore Wind '26)
from How We Build Britain · host Rob Gilbert
Just how is the offshore wind industry in the UK really doing? I put that question to Tim Pick on the fringe of Global Offshore Wind 2026 in Manchester. Tim is Britain's first offshore wind champion, a former clean power commissioner, vice president of the Energy Institute and chair of the Offshore Wind Growth Partnership.We cover where the industry really stands, AR7 and the job of turning an allocation round into built projects, why Ardersier has upended the conventional wisdom on ports, the bet on floating wind in the Celtic Sea, and why the North Sea starts to sustain itself in the 2030s. Tim is also clear about the cost of politicising all this.The question underneath it all is the one this show keeps coming back to. Do we build, or do we buy?Feedback, guest suggestions and future episode requests are always welcome.
