Offshore Wind
These pages contain information about offshore wind energy in the UK and around the world. The second round of offshore wind development around the UK 'Round 2' is now fully underway, and 5 projects from 'Round 1' are already generating. Click on the links on the right to see where the projects are and who is developing them.

RenewableUK - UKCPC Marine Cables Seminar
There is an increasing use of the United Kingdom Continental Shelf to transmit either electricity or data through seabed marine cables. With the considerable growth of both sectors over the next 20-30 years, it is important that they learn from each other and co-operate as fully as possible. RenewableUK and the UKCPC will hold a seminar on Marine Cables in London on Thursday 7th October 2010 at the Hotel Russell in Russell Square, London.
RenewableUK Offshore Wind 2010
RenewableUK is delighted to announce that over 1,900 people attended its ninth annual offshore wind event, representing more than a 100% increase on the 2009 event attendance figures. The event has been hailed as the leading event for UK offshore wind.
UK Offshore Wind: Staying on track
The work reported here has been undertaken under contract to arrive at a picture for the delivery of offshore wind energy capacity in the UK until 2015. This work is an update of some aspects of two prior BWEA studies – Offshore Wind: At a Crossroads and Moving Up a Gear.
UK Offshore Wind: Charting the Right Course
The offshore wind industry is an important source of future energy supply for the UK, although it is a sector which has yet to fully mature. Project roll-out in the UK has gathered pace with offshore wind build in 2009 expected to be similar to onshore wind build for the first time. Currently, the UK is also the largest global market for offshore wind.
