What Can 30 Years of Hindcast Data Tell Us About Climate Risks in Offshore Wind?
Successfully planning for the future means consulting the past. The offshore wind industry has long overlooked the deep insights found in historical data. As climate risk intensifies and weather windows become less predictable, development costs continue to rise and project timelines are always squeezed. Offshore wind faces more challenges than ever. Perhaps just in time, […]
Understanding the Lifecycle Stages of Offshore Wind Farm Developments
The life of an offshore wind farm spans decades, and starts long before construction begins. Understanding each phase helps developers and stakeholders to reduce risk, stay compliant, and deliver cleaner energy to the grid. How long does a wind farm really last? Most offshore wind farms are made to last for a 25-30 year operational […]
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. […]
Policy Changes and Impacts on Offshore Wind Developments in 2025
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 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 […]
