Unlocking Asia-Pacific’s potential for offshore wind

This time on the Wind Power Podcast, we speak with three leading industry experts on offshore wind in Asia Pacific, and discuss how Japan, South Korea and other countries in the region are hoping to unlock its potential in the face of myriad challenges. Offshore wind in Asia-Pacific has long been led by China, but new markets are now emerging as the region’s other major economies look to offshore wind as a vital component of their plans for the energy transition. Both Japan and Korea have set ambitious targets and timelines for a rapid buildout of new offshore wind capacity, but face a series of challenges from soaring costs to supply chain constraints that have impacted its development in other parts of the world. Meanwhile, other countries in the region from Vietnam to Australia are joining in the race to build offshore wind as energy security and decarbonisation goals become major policy priorities. This episode was produced by Inga Marsden.
