As offshore wind power generation grows, the landscape is becoming increasingly rife with risks.
Decarbonization and reduced carbon emissions are at the heart of the ongoing energy transition. Today, all stakeholders — producers, retailers, investors, governments, and consumers — are looking for ways to shift the world away from the consumption of fossil fuels towards cleaner, renewable energy sources.
Technological improvements, competitive supply chains, and improving economies of scale will continue to reduce the costs of wind power, positioning it to lead the global electricity sector transition. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) projects that by 2050, onshore and offshore wind will become the world’s leading energy source, generating more than one-third (35%) of total electricity needs.
These advancements, however, are not without risk.
