Look out of a plane window when you are flying over the sea or peer at the horizon from a ferry these days and chances are good that you will see giant wind turbine blades looming out of the deep. 

Offshore wind is generating more and more of our clean electricity, as governments around the world craft ever-increasingly ambitious renewable strategies. In Europe alone, countries want to roll out 111 gigawatts of the technology by 2030. 

But someone has to build these behemoths. The newest generation of turbines are hundreds of metres tall and hundreds of tonnes in weight. The infrastructure challenge is massive. 

New technologies like floating wind, larger capacity turbines and hybrid projects that include solar and hydrogen generation all mean that the challenge is only going to get more complicated. 

Mikkel Gleerup, CEO of wind turbine installer Cadeler, joins the show to share his experience from the frontlines of the energy transition and explain what is needed from governments to get more turbines in the water. 

Enjoy the discussion!
