PowerPod

In this episode of PowerPod, host Dan Wiseman is joined by Aruneesh Lakshmanavelu to explore the rapidly developing offshore wind markets in Australia and France.

They discuss Australia’s first major offshore wind auction, now relaunched for August 2026 after last year’s postponement. Aruneesh covers the key challenges that caused the delay, improvements to the offtake mechanism through the Electricity Services Entry Mechanism (ESCM), port infrastructure bottlenecks at Hastings, and strong interest from major developers in the Gippsland region.

The conversation then shifts to France, where the newly released PPE3 adjusts offshore wind targets to 15 GW by 2035 (with 18 GW now by 2037). They examine the merging of Auctions 9 and 10 into a large ~10 GW tender (split between fixed and floating), grid flexibility measures, the EolMed project, and new European supply chain localisation requirements.

In this episode of PowerPod, host Dan Wiseman is joined by fellow analyst Jason Benchapongwimon to discuss TGS 4C’s recently released Market Overview Report. They explore Europe’s position in the wider renewables landscape in light of a stalling US industry, the growing interest in floating wind despite its higher costs, and other key developments affecting offshore wind over the past three months.

In this episode, Rameeza Duggal is joined by Luke Rushbrook and Ben Swarbrick to discuss the rapid evolution of vessels in the global offshore wind industry. They examine the gap between ambitious government targets and realistic forecasts.

In this episode of PowerPod, Jamie Bernthal-Hooker is joined by US analyst Dan Wiseman to unpack a turbulent period for offshore wind in the United States. They explore the recent wave of stop-work orders and subsequent legal victories, key project milestones including Vineyard Wind and Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind, and the implications of a landmark government buyout of TotalEnergies’ projects.

Ming Yang’s £1.5 bn Scottish turbine factory could ease Europe’s shortfall—but will politics and security derail it? Hear insights from TGS | 4C experts.

In this second part of "Site Characterization in Offshore Wind", Alexander Smith is joined by guests Tone Holm-Trudeng, Helen Sinclair, and Enda O’Doherty to discuss the rise of floating wind, the challenges facing deep-water development, and potential solutions driven by innovations in site characterization.

In this first part of "Site Characterization in Offshore Wind", Alexander Smith is joined by guests Tone Holm-Trudeng, Helen Sinclair, and Enda O’Doherty to discuss the evolution of offshore wind and explain the vital role that site characterization plays in enabling the design and construction of these complex renewable energy projects. 

Join Jamie Bernthal-Hooker, Dan Wiseman, and Jason Benchapongwimon in this discussion on the current state of offshore wind around the globe.
