EVOL: Oily money, Seagreen success and ship-shape wind turbines

Climate activists made headlines this week after a blockade of the Energy Intelligence Forum in London, involving none other than Greta Thunberg. Somewhat trapped at the scene, Ed Reed reports his findings from one of the liveliest conferences in recent years.

 

In a big week for SSE Renewables and TotalEnergies, the more than 1GW Seagreen offshore wind project is now fully operational, taking its place as Scotland’s largest and the world’s deepest fixed-bottom project. Ryan reports on what completion means for the wider sector.

 

And Andrew recounts a conversation with marine legal specialist Ed Watt of Addleshaw Goddard, who explained why the floating wind turbines seen off the Aberdeenshire coast are in fact ships – and why more floating projects may have to follow suit.
