Agenda

Opportunity and status of offshore wind: John Hardin, NC Department of Commerce
North Carolina has ambitious plans to develop offshore wind capabilities, recently highlighted by their announcement of the publication of their supply chain report.

The offshore wind opportunity: Allan Taylor, Albert Clark, Aidan Campbell, UK Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy
This will highlight the UK strategy at a policy level in addition to recent work on attracting private investment to meet the goal of quadrupling OSW by 2030. Hear more about the UK experience of setting ambitious OSW deployment targets and strategy, and how it can lead to attracting manufacturers and building the supply chain

Supply chain: GE Renewable Energy
Listen to a case study example of how accelerating offshore wind deployment through policy can drive private investment from manufacturers. Recent announcements including GE's commitment to building a new state-of-the-art offshore wind blade manufacturing factory in the UK, highlight the significant supply chain opportunities.
