Vietnam Deep Dive: Life in an Emerging Offshore Wind Market

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. In this episode, hosts Stewart Mullin and David Lenti are joined by Camilla Holbech, Energy Sector Counsellor Royal Danish Embassy in Hanoi to take a deep dive into life in Vietnam and find out what has been happening on the ground. This will include insight into the PDP8 discussions and the supply chain challenges in the market, including the impacts that COVID has had on mobility.  The Offshore Wind Podcast is powered by Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy.

Om Podcasten

Welcome to the Offshore Wind Podcast, hosted by Stewart Mullin and David Lenti! Offshore wind is one of the world’s fastest growing energy sources, with strong year on year growth expected across the next few decades. Many nations are banking on offshore wind to play a major role in reaching their decarbonization and sustainability targets and helping their economies recover from the COVID-19 crisis. On the technology front, turbines are bigger and more powerful than ever, offshore wind farm capacity factors continue to rise and we are seeing a surge of interest from oil and gas giants seeking to transition their businesses away from fossil fuels, as well as increased competition from the developers who have championed offshore wind from day one.New markets in Asia, the Americas, and eventually Africa, accelerated growth in Europe, the rise of floating offshore wind and increasing interest in power-to-x solutions, are creating the basis for unprecedented growth in the industry. The offshore wind podcast series looks at the issues facing the offshore wind industry today, and opportunities for tomorrow.
