This Week Energy Voice Out Loud was live on the show floor at the Floating Offshore Wind conference in Aberdeen, where they caught up with industry bigwigs, such as the firms behind the upcoming Green Volt project.
Energy Voice's Ryan Duff and Michael Behr were in attendance alongside E-FWD's Sepi Golzari-Munro.
Up first, Ryan spoke to Barry MacLeod, CEO of Flotation Energy, and Stephen Bull, CEO of Vårgrønn. The trio discussed the future of Green Volt, the world’s largest commercial floating wind farm, following news that CNOOC had bowed out of a deal to offtake power to decarbonise operations on its Buzzard platform. Having secured a contract for difference (CfD) in last year's Allocation Round (AR), Green Volt has no choice but to forge ahead while looking for another oil and gas partner to offtake the power it produces that will not go to shore.
Next, Sepi caught up with Claire Mack, CEO of the organisation behind the Floating Offshore Wind conference, Scottish Renewables on the final day of the event. She also met with Rob Gilbert of GB Energy as it looks to establish itself in the north-east of Scotland.
Finally, Tim Pick, the former UK offshore wind champion and current chair of the Offshore Wind Growth Partnership discusses public and private funding for the supply chain with Ryan. The pair also touch on the Celtic Sea's offshore wind market as we inch closer to turbines being deployed off the west coast of the UK.
