Episode 18: Subsea Cables - Offshore Wind's Hidden Heroes

In this month’s episode, we'll dive into the hidden world of subsea cables. The UK starts well ahead of the game in the sector with our subsea cables network carrying the world’s highest output of offshore wind power and we are already the world leader in subsea engineering, manufacturing and services for the oil and gas industry. With that being said, offshore wind cables require a surge of technological innovation in the coming years if they are to cope with the scale-up of offshore renewable energy and deeper-water operations required to meet the UK’s ambitious net zero targets. This month's guests include: - Alex Neumann, Asset & Business Development Manager, HV Electrical - Charlotte Strang-Moran, Electrical Engineer - Dan Sumner, Project Development Manager - Ben Moore, Marketing Manager
