Episode 50: Floating Offshore Wind - The State Of Play 2024

Hosted by Andrew Stormonth-Darling, Principle Portfolio Manager at ORE Catapult, this podcast episode takes a close look at the current state of play of the floating offshore wind industry. September saw the Contract for Different Auction Round 6 results announced and October is just as busy for the industry as everyone gears up towards the Floating Offshore Wind Conference in Aberdeen. With the conference on the horizon, we take the opportunity to dive deeper into the current issues and discussions, and take stock of where we are and where the industry is going, for floating wind. In this episode, Andrew is joined by three guests: - Susie Lind, Managing Director UK at Blue Float Energy | Nadara Partnership - Martin Carruth, Commercial Director at Marine Power Systems (MPS) - Joanne Allday, Senior Executive at Port of Cromarty Firth
