Offshore wind in Asia Pacific: Challenges and opportunities

🌏 New Podcast Episode: Unlocking Asia Pacific’s Offshore Wind Potential Offshore wind is set to play a central role in Asia Pacific’s energy transition. Countries like Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and Australia are setting ambitious targets, but face challenges from rising costs to supply chain constraints.   In the latest episode of the Wind Power Monthly Podcast, our colleague Patrick Architta, Regional Director Wind & Solar APAC at Ramboll, joins host Orlando Jenkinson (Windpower Monthly) alongside Analeigh Suh (BloombergNEF) and Mark Hutchinson (Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC)) to share insights on: 🍃 Rising costs and #supplychain constraints and how strategic engineering can help overcome them 🍃 The broader push across #AsiaPacific, from Vietnam to Australia, to integrate offshore wind as a core enabler of a cleaner energy future 🍃 Japan and South Korea’s bold offshore wind targets and the path to achieving them   With deep experience guiding offshore wind projects in #APAC, Patrick brings Ramboll’s perspective on how the region can successfully unlock its potential. This episode offers a timely discussion on the opportunities shaping the future of offshore wind in Asia Pacific. https://lnkd.in/ej5ayaRn   #OffshoreWind #EnergyTransition #RenewableEnergy

"We're certainty focused on Gippsland. That's the immediate opportunity for Australia to get a first project going." Our CEO Charles Rattray spoke with GWEC Chief Industry Officer Stewart Mullin on the Offshore Wind Podcast, in the lead up to the APAC Wind Energy Summit 2025. They discussed the challenges and opportunities in accelerating offshore wind deployment in Australia - highlighting the importance of: ✅ Partnership between government, industry and community ✅ Maintaining momentum and timelines to get offshore wind started.

The real challenge isn’t technical. It’s how we move from being an oil and gas community to becoming a part of the next phase of offshore energy. That means jobs. Industry. Identity. And choices that go far beyond LCOE. Earlier this summer, I joined Anders Nash on the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast to talk about Utsira Nord and what this project really means — for Norway and for floating wind. 🎧 Full episode: https://lnkd.in/dTsmNaXT 📄 Utsira Nord Strategic Brief: https://lnkd.in/d9k47uEq

🎧 Unpacking the future of offshore wind!   In the first episode of EIC Energy Insights, Stuart R Broadley HonFEI Broadley, CEO of the EIC, is joined by market intelligence managers, Sharanya Kumaramurthy, Chris Shirley and Tom Bacon, to explore the future of offshore wind.   The discussion highlights what’s driving momentum and what’s holding it back — through the insights of our experts. Together, they explore key findings from South America, APAC, and Europe, covering from shifting energy policies and supply chain bottlenecks to the promise and challenges of floating offshore wind. 🔗 Listen now: https://lnkd.in/dkKuRHwr #EICEnergyInsights #EICPodcasts #OffshoreWind #Sustainability #NetZero #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #EIC #Renewables

Another great interview at Renew Economy— and two points stood out for me: 1️⃣ AGL’s focus on technology during the transition. As a vertically integrated utility, I would have expected a stronger emphasis on the consumer. 2️⃣ The strategic role of batteries in their portfolio. This raises a broader concern: the NEM Review’s lack of attention to competition and market structure. The acknowledgment that the spot market does not incentivise efficient investment — and that the CIS will need a replacement — has major implications for market design. In a recent paper (https://lnkd.in/gxRfzhi6), we show how in a battery-driven market, price caps may shift their role: ·      from ensuring reliability, ·      to constraining market power. This makes the proposed long-run contract market even more critical in addressing the missing money problem. That market could well take the form of Contracts for Differences (CDFs) over different time horizons. If time permits, I plan to make a more detailed submission to the NEM Review — because these design choices will shape the success of the transition.

💨 Offshore wind tiger 🇪🇺 Poland has the potential to become the offshore wind tiger of Europe 🐅🌊 ⚡ 13 GW already in the pipeline in the Baltic Sea ⚡ 11 GW planned by 2040 (PEP2040) ⚡ 33 GW potential according to the Polish Wind Energy Association 👉 Enough to cover 57% of Poland’s electricity demand by 2040 💡But it’s not just about clean energy. Poland’s offshore wind farms will also monitor the Baltic Sea, strengthening security and resilience in a region facing constant Russian pressure.💪🏻 Clean power + stronger defense = the Baltic Sea becoming one of Europe’s most strategic hubs. #OffshoreWind #EnergyTransition #Poland #BalticSea #Renewables #Security data by The Polish Wind Energy Association, Financial Times, BalticWind.EU, Global Energy Monitor thank you 😊

🇪🇺 Central Europe is transforming fast and with it come immense opportunities in infrastructure 👍🏻 This article focuses on Poland, but just look at the Czech Republic: €100 billion planned for the energy transition over the next five years! 💪🏻 #CleanEnergy #EnergyTransition #Sustainability #WindPower
