As the global push for net zero accelerates, the demand for offshore wind farms is surging. Investment in wind generation increased by 20% in 2023 according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), reinforcing expectations of accelerated capacity for the coming years.

As a result of this growth, manufacturers of key components are facing pressure from the industry to keep pace with growing demand.

Our latest guide explores the challenges associated with development of offshore wind manufacturing from slow permitting and infrastructure bottlenecks, to strained supply chains. We advise on all aspects of the project lifecycle, ensuring scalable, sustainable manufacturing facilities that maximise efficiency and esnure long-term productivity.
