Kate Freeman will be attending the Offshore Wind Journal Conference at the Novotel London West Hotel on 7 February.

Kate will be presenting on “Innovations and cost reduction in offshore wind” at the conference, covering areas such as recent trends in offshore wind LCOE, how to measure the LCOE impact of new innovations and what innovations that will have the biggest impact on LCOE in future.

The 2017 Offshore Wind Journal conference is a unique event designed to meet the needs of companies already working in the offshore wind supply chain and those who want to move into the fast-growing offshore wind sector.

The programme is tailored for companies already working in the sector and for those looking to enter it as part of their diversification strategy.

Increased investment in the offshore wind industry as a whole is spurring demand for a range of vessel types, including turbine installation units, cable lay and accommodation solutions – particularly those with motion-compensated gangways for ‘walk-to-work’ access – and new-generation service operation vessels.

Having become an established part of the energy industry in Europe, offshore wind is being adopted in the US, Japan, India and many other countries, and this event gives the opportunity to find out more about the size and scale of the opportunity and how to get into the market if you are not already in it.

The UK, Denmark, The Netherlands, Norway, France, Germany and Spain and other European countries have world-leading experience in the offshore oil and gas industry which can be harnessed in the offshore renewables market. Diversifying into renewables provides greater resilience for companies, and an opportunity to take an early lead in what will be a huge global industry. It’s an unmissable opportunity.

The event will show delegates how opportunities in this fast-growing market can be exploited by vessel owners, equipment and service providers and many other players in the offshore supply chain.
