Offshore Wind Deep Dive

Did you know that offshore wind - at around 50% cheaper than gas to produce electricity - is one of the most cost-effective sources of energy? So the more wind power we have, the bigger the impact it can have. This week’s Energy Pod takes a deep dive into this topic, and specifically the impact that meeting the UK’s ambitious offshore wind targets – to increase capacity from 13.7GW to 50GW (265%) by 2050 - could have on UK energy costs. ABB’s wind experts, Per-Erik Holsten and Simon Wynne, discuss how realistic meeting these targets is and what needs to be done to make this happen. If we get it right, offshore wind could play a big role in boosting the country’s energy security and powering every home in Britain with green electricity. Hosted on Acast.
