Emerging opportunities in offshore wind
With the drive towards a net zero future by 2050, the UK and Irish Governments have set ambitious policies to achieve this using the natural resource of offshore wind, which will play a bigger role in the energy mix. This requires a huge expansion in wind energy and the associated supply chains as it plays an increasingly important role in the economy.
A key part of delivering this will be to build new capacity and skills in local companies. In this tutorial, you will hear from local companies who have existing capability in offshore wind and find out how they can diversify into this growth sector.
