Offshore wind and the winning tickets for the coming years
“The offshore wind sector is entering a new phase requiring a massive manufacturing and installation scale-up. Building a subsidy-free offshore wind farm should not mean that the companies involved make losses. We have to be economically sustainable as an industry. Therefore, it is vital to innovate to reduce costs further.” Says Jan van der Tempel, Chairman of GROW. “Mind you, we have to build 1000 turbines annually to drive the global energy transition. To make this happen, we must speed up all processes and align the complete supply chain.”
