Offshore Wind Supply Chain Services

The offshore wind industry is experiencing a period of transformation, yet it grapples with significant challenges within its supply chain. Some developers have had to make the difficult decision to cancel projects, bearing substantial financial losses.

Inflation rates are soaring, capital costs are on the rise, and the specter of increasing interest rates looms large, casting doubts on the financial viability of already-planned offshore wind ventures.

The path to project success is further obstructed by slow permitting processes, geopolitical unrest, import dependency for critical raw materials, the ever-expanding scale of wind turbines, and the lingering impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. These factors collectively render the offshore wind sector and its supply chain vulnerable.

The consequences of these challenges are far-reaching: Delays in offshore wind projects, often triggered by developer pullouts, raise valid concerns about the pace of the global energy transition and the strategic autonomy of nations.
