Podcast: Reducing the costs of floating wind in Scotland

A new video podcast interviews three floating wind experts from Aberdeen-based businesses to learn how they are addressing costs in this emerging clean energy sector.

Given that Scotland has more than 27GW of floating wind projects in the pipeline, it is vital to bring down the costs to harness the immense potential of this clean energy sector.  

In this 30-minute video podcast, the three guests are:

  • Glenn Munachen, director at Enerfloat
  • Jack Phillips, business development manager at Balmoral Comtec
  • Zander McDougall, renewables business manager at OSI Renewables

The guests each share their separate experiences of the challenges with floating wind and the solutions being developed in Scotland that could reduce costs significantly. Scotland has been a leader in the global oil and gas industry through its commercial operations in the North Sea for more approximately five decades.

As the world aims to decarbonise, the expertise gained from operations in the North Sea is helping to develop the floating wind sector and position Scotland again at the forefront of energy innovation.
