Northern Ireland Focus on Offshore Wind - Emerging Opportunities

Offshore wind is the fastest growing sector in renewable energy and Northern Ireland is ideally placed to have an offshore industry; with world class infrastructure and a relatively benign environment, Northern Ireland could potentially be one of the lowest cost regions to develop floating offshore wind in Europe. Northern Ireland Focus on Offshore Wind – Emerging Opportunities was an event that took place on 22 March at the Titanic Hotel, Belfast.
