Tune in to learn more the evolution of the offshore wind supply chain throughout 2025 and forward look at what we think the key themes and messages of the conference are likely to be.

Both organisations are supporting the UK Offshore Wind Supply Chain Spotlight 2025, which ORE Catapult hosts in partnership with the Offshore Wind Growth Partnership.

In our 61st episode, we hear about the ongoing development of the world's largest commercial-scale floating offshore wind farm, Green Volt, and discuss the progress and challenges within the floating wind sector.

Our hosts, Head of Analysis & Insights, Tom Quinn and A&I Manager, Emily Rees, are joined by our Director of Development & Operations, Andy Macdonald and O&M Technical Authority at Flotation Energy, Vicky Goodwin.

This episode was recorded ahead of the Floating Offshore Wind 2025 conference in Aberdeen.

In our 60th episode, we delve into the very interesting concept of "MegaProjects" for offshore wind.

We believe that megaprojects have the potential to create a critical mass of market demand, making large supply chain and infrastructure investment easier to justify, and provide a mechanism that gives public and private partners certainty over the nature, timing and location of those investments. Against the backdrop of ambitious 2030 offshore wind deployment targets, there is a strong argument to be made for thinking bigger.

Our hosts, Head of Analysis & Insights, Tom Quinn and A&I Manager, Emily Rees, are joined by our Head of Strategic Development and Policy, David Wallace, Senior Policy Adviser at E3G, Susie Elks and last but not least, Director of the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) and Clean Power 2030 Advisory Commissioner, Robert Gross.

On the 59th episode of the ReEnergise Podcast, we're talking about the very sensitive topic of environmental monitoring and faster consenting for offshore wind. Specifically, we're talking about how we cna balance the need to accelerate consenting to reach Net Zero with the environmental impact of offshore wind farms.

Our hosts, Tom Quinn and Emily Rees, are joined by industry experts:

🔹 Caroline Whalley, Environmental Specialist, ORE Catapult.

🔹 Duncan Smart, Senior Planning & Environmental Policy Manager, ScottishPower Renewables

🔹 Professor Beth Scott, Marine Ecologist at the University of Aberdeen.

Ahead of Global Offshore Wind 2025 kicking off tomorrow, we sat down and got to know four of the innovative companies joining us on the #CatapultPavilion.

Joining our host, Innovation Manager, Peter Kinsley was:

🔹Vahid Walker, Walker Subsea

🔹Ian Armstrong, Pulcea

🔹Nassima Brown, Fennex

🔹Andy Simmonds, SeaThor

We delved into what our guests see as the main opportunities and challenges in the sector at the moment, as well as the key debates and themes they're expecting at #RUKGOW25!

This episode is the second of two episodes in partnership with RenewableUK, as we approach Global Offshore Wind 2025, the UK's premier offshore wind event!

We're excited to be the Innovation Sponsor and the official podcast partner of the event this year. In this episode, we're joined by David Rooney, Head of Offshore Sales NCE at leading turbine manufacturer, Vestas.

This year, the theme of Global Offshore Wind is 'Mission Possible', so it was a great opportunity to get David's thoughts on the state of the sector at this pivotal time.
