Session description In contrast to the onshore wind industry, which managed shortages of components, the capacity of the supply chain to deliver offshore projects looks likely to be the limiting factor in deployment for at least the next decade. The challenges of providing suitable quantities of reliable turbines, cost-effective foundations, purpose-built installation vessels and subsea cables will require strong, proactive measures. Innovation in techniques and equipment will also be key to bringing costs down and building capacity rapidly. The papers in this session will range over this area, with a strong focus on the installation bottleneck, but also with assessments of capacity in turbines, foundations and cables. |
