At the beginning of the year, our Analysis and Insight Manager, Tom Quinn, wrote a blog titled ‘ORE Catapult’s 2020 Predictions in Offshore Renewable Energy’ that identified five key trends in offshore renewables that he predicted would take off this year. These included:

1. The long-awaited UK energy policy white paper will be published by the Government

2. New market entrants

3. Hydrogen gathers momentum

4. First wind project taking financial investment decision on a merchant basis

5. Data and digital challenges and opportunities

Six months on, he is joined by Gavin Smart, Head of Analysis and Insights at ORE Catapult, to discuss just how accurate our predictions have been so far, and what the remainder of 2020 has in store for offshore renewable energy developments.
