The Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult claims it has identified four new areas for innovation that UK companies can explore in the offshore wind sector.

Following engagement with industry and academia, three new roadmaps have been added under the Operations & Maintenance and Windfarm Lifecycle area: Project Development; Reducing ecological impact and uncertainty; and Decommissioning, as well as a cross area category called Enabling Research.

Each innovation area is scored on three key criteria: UK Benefit, potential to reduce LCOE and case for intervention. Scoring elements helps to maximise impact of Government spend due to allocating funds to projects agreed within the sector to be the most important.

Dr Stephen Wyatt, ORE Catapult’s Research & Innovation Director, said: “The new roadmap elements we’ve introduced offer even more opportunities for companies to get involved in the success story that has been the UK’s offshore wind sector – whether by developing new technologies and ways of working, or by pulling through technologies and expertise from other sectors.”
