The Offshore Wind Podcast from GWEC
Welcome to the Offshore Wind Podcast, hosted by Stewart Mullin, GWEC's Chief Industry Officer, and Rebecca Williams, GWEC's Deputy CEO.
Offshore wind is one of the world's fastest growing energy sources.
Many nations are embracing offshore wind as a key tool to deliver on net zero and sustainability targets, while building clean industries that drive economic growth.
Turbines are bigger and more powerful than ever, the supply chain is developing in every region and new markets are opening up thanks to action-focused policy developments that build on political ambition.
The rise of floating offshore wind, increasing interest in power-to-x and green hydrogen solutions are creating the basis for offshore wind to propel the global energy transition forwards.
The Offshore Wind Podcast, from the Global Wind Energy Council, looks at the issues facing the offshore wind industry today and tomorrow.

A Day in the Life of an Offshore Wind Service Technician
Service technicians are the backbone of the offshore wind industry: they climb up tall turbines, troubleshoot technical issues, and perform repairs on blades and other components to ensure that turbines keep spinning and generating clean and affordable electricity. Life at sea offers a unique set of challenges and rewards for professionals looking to join this rapidly growing sector. In this episode, hosts Stewart and David are joined by Caroline Morrison, Technical Supervisor – Rope Access at Siemens Gamesa, for a behind-the-scene look at a day in the life of an offshore wind service technician, from health and safety and technical training to balancing family life with life at sea.
GWEC's Offshore Wind Podcast is hosted by Stewart Mullin, GWEC's Chief Industry Officer, and Rebecca Williams, GWEC's Deputy CEO, who leads on all GWEC's Offshore Wind work.
The podcast, or 'show' as Stewart still likes to call it, features leading voices from across the sector, whether that is large OEMs, key supply chain manufacturers or political leaders driving policy, to talk about how we can all work together to deliver on offshore wind's enormous potential.
