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.

Exploring the World Bank Key Factors Report Update
On this episode, Stewart and Rebecca are joined by Sean Whittaker from the World Bank Group to take a bit of a deep dive into a recent report from the World Bank Group and the ESMAP program. It is an update to an earlier, seminal piece of work for the offshore wind industry, titled Making Offshore Wind Work: Key factors for Successful Development of Offshore Wind in Emerging Markets... which is probably one of the longest titles of a seminal paper ever.
The team discuss everything offshore wind, but also take a brief stop to hear more about Sean's background building wind turbines in Madagascar!
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.
