  • 18 operational offshore windfarms = 3.3GW
  • 10% of UK demand during December 2013
  • 5.6 GW offshore wind in planning
  • 39 wave and tidal sites awarded (=1.8GW)
  • 10x expansion in device scale testing at EMEC
  • Demo tidal arrays consented (Siemens / Atlantis)
  • 1/25 scale / full scale floating wind
  • hybrid schemes in development

BUT significant uncertainty......

Knowledge Networks Moving Forward

  • Proactively address upcoming industry challenges
  • KE Opportunities & funding for industry-research

collaborations are gaining momentum

  • industry-led OR science-led
  • Internationalisation!
  • What works across borders?
  • What doesn’t?
  • What are the gaps?
