EnergyCents- Ep 72: Hope floats: Offshore wind industry looks beyond bottom-fixed installations

Nearly 80% of the world's potential offshore wind resources are in waters deeper than 60 meters or in waters with poor seabed conditions. These winds cannot be accessed by traditional bottom-fixed installations – and represent opportunity for nascent floating offshore wind projects. S&P Global Offshore Wind Expert Andrei Utkin joins EnergyCents this week to discuss the growing interest in floating offshore wind, and why we should be looking to Europe, the North Sea, and oil and gas majors for sector leadership.
