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 Chief Strategy Officer - Offshore Wind.
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.

Harvesting the gold in regional collaboration – The key to driving economic value in the offshore wind supply chain in APAC
The APAC region is experiencing rapid growth in many markets. Nations in the region are starting to exploit their natural wind resources, especially in offshore. But as countries come to terms with this opportunity, we are also seeing familiar patterns emerge in relation to the challenges each market grapples with before the market can truly reach its potential.
This episode looks to provide some insight into the local supply chain developments & local content requirements in the markets. Hosts Stewart Mullin and David Lenti are joined by
Danish Ambassador to Korea Einar Jensen for a deep dive into the Korean wind market, which shows a huge opportunity for the global wind industry.
The country is extremely committed to delivering on their National Determined Contributions (NDCs) and driving the green energy transition. But what will it cost to succeed in Korea? How should companies engage with the local supply chain? Will we see a sector deal like we have seen in other markets where government and industry come together to accelerate a smooth transition? All of these questions and more will be answered in this fire side chat.
