SR Offshore 2026 London Gains Industry Support to Unlock Floating Wind Potential
SR Offshore 2026, scheduled to take place in London, has received strong backing from across the offshore wind industry, positioning the event as a key catalyst for advancing floating offshore wind projects. The support reflects growing investment interest in floating wind technology, which is essential for unlocking deep-water resources and scaling global offshore wind capacity. With a strong customer and industry focus, SR Offshore 2026 will bring together developers, utilities, policymakers, investors, and supply-chain leaders to address challenges across project development, financing, and deployment. The event will showcase innovative floating wind platforms, mooring and anchoring systems, grid integration solutions, and cost-reduction strategies. Key benefits include accelerated commercialisation, stronger collaboration across the value chain, reduced project risk, and faster progress toward net-zero targets. The conference underscores floating offshore wind’s growing role in expanding clean energy beyond shallow-water sites worldwide.
Denmark and Germany Seal Bornholm Energy Island Deal to Boost Offshore Wind Integration
Denmark and Germany have sealed a landmark agreement on the Bornholm Energy Island, strengthening cross-border cooperation and unlocking large-scale investment in offshore wind and power infrastructure in the Baltic Sea. The deal sets out a framework for jointly developing grid connections that will transmit offshore wind power from Danish waters to both countries, improving system efficiency and market integration. With a strong customer focus, the Bornholm Energy Island is designed to deliver reliable, affordable, and low-carbon electricity to households and industries while enhancing regional energy security. The project will rely on innovative offshore grid solutions, including hybrid interconnectors and advanced transmission technology, to efficiently integrate growing wind capacity. Key benefits include faster offshore wind deployment, reduced congestion, lower system costs, improved cross-border power trading, and significant carbon emissions reductions, reinforcing the Baltic Sea’s strategic role in Europe’s clean energy transition.
Thor Offshore Wind Project Secures 30-Year Production Licence in Denmark
The Thor offshore wind project has been awarded a 30-year production licence by Danish authorities, marking a major investment milestone for Denmark’s largest offshore wind development. The licence provides long-term regulatory certainty, enabling stable financing and accelerated project execution. With a strong customer focus, Thor is expected to supply large volumes of reliable, low-cost renewable electricity to Danish households and businesses, supporting energy security and price stability. The project will deploy innovative next-generation offshore wind turbines, advanced foundations, and digital monitoring systems to maximise efficiency and operational performance. Key benefits include significant carbon emissions reductions, long-term clean power generation, job creation, and supply-chain growth. The licence award reinforces Denmark’s leadership in offshore wind and underscores Thor’s role in advancing the country’s renewable energy and net-zero ambitions
