How Can AI Support Regulatory Compliance in Offshore Wind?

When it comes to offshore wind, the cost of compliance mistakes is measured in years and millions. Regulatory compliance is a project-length marathon.  Developers find themselves navigating an ever-evolving matrix of environmental regulation, marine policy, and O&M oversight. But the manual processes and legacy datasets are struggling to keep up with increased and tightening demands.  […]

Artificial Intelligence in Predictive Maintenance: Offshore Wind Farms

Between the teething issues expected of a rapidly expanding industry and increasingly harsh conditions due to climate change, the offshore wind industry is facing pressure from all sides.  Downtime can cost millions, so streamlining is essential. Predictive maintenance powered by artificial intelligence is emerging as a vital solution – cutting costs, boosting reliability, and safeguarding […]

Policy Changes and Impacts on Offshore Wind Developments in 2025

coastal wind turbines

Regulation is the solid ground beneath the waves; and with international guidelines and regulation evolving fast, offshore wind developers need to keep pace. In 2025, sweeping policy reforms are reshaping everything. From permitting and subsidies, to environmental protections and updated grid planning, across the board the regulatory changes present both opportunities and risks. So let’s […]

Engaging Coastal Communities: Attaining Social Licence for Offshore Wind Development

Successful offshore wind farm development requires more than just ticking the right legal boxes and getting funding. If you want smooth sailing throughout planning, construction, and beyond, you’re going to need to win over the local community.  Building social licence to operate (SLO) is fast becoming a make-or-break factor in offshore development.  So forget about […]

Preparing and Adapting Offshore Renewable Energy for a Changing Climate

Offshore wind farm in extreme weather conditions

Offshore wind farms are a crucial industry within the renewable energy transition – particularly in regions with large coastal zones, like the UK. But, while the changing climate itself is a significant motivation for this push for greener energy, it also poses entirely new challenges to the very industry and infrastructure designed to help us […]

What Wind Farm Developers Should Look for When Choosing Environmental Intelligence Tools

Environmental intelligence platforms are critical for modern site selection, compliance, and long-term planning in the offshore wind sector. But too often, developers aren’t asking the questions that matter the most when it comes to choosing the right platform.  This guide breaks down what you should be looking for when choosing an environmental analysis tool, and […]

What Marine Ecosystems Can Teach Us About Offshore Wind Farm Design

The ocean has spent the last few billion years testing and refining its own engineering solutions. While it remains a largely alien environment to humans, the flora, fauna, and forces at play there likely hold the key to more resilient, efficient, and sustainable offshore wind farm development.  What is Biomimicry?  Biomimicry (or biomimetics) is the […]
