Offshore wind cost reduction pathways: Technology work stream examines how technology innovation is anticipated to reduce the cost of energy from UK offshore wind farms. It was commissioned by The Crown Estate as a key part of the Offshore Wind Cost Reductions Pathways Project. It provides a comprehensive, transparent evidence base built through significant industry engagement. Government and others can use it to formulate a long-term view of the contribution that technology innovation could make in reducing the cost of energy from offshore wind. It confirms that offshore wind has the opportunity to be a major and cost-effective part of a sustainable UK energy mix.
