Episode 68: Deepwater and Floating Offshore Wind with Scottish Renewables
7:14

Emily ReesHOST
Like, from your perspective, being there on the ground, so to speak, and having just come from another part of the industry, like, what, what do you see as being our challenge to try and make that leap from a oil and gas centric in Aberdeen to being renewable energy to being floating wind?
J
7:30Jason PatersonGUEST
Yeah, I think the oil and gas expertise is a brilliant starting point, but it needs to translate into that kind of repeatable offshore wind delivery in terms of projects.
J
7:42Jason PatersonGUEST
The reality at the moment is that we're seeing many supply chain companies that are only catering to a very small percentage of renewables projects compared to even, well, domestic and overseas oil and gas work, and that's just a reality of what projects are actually real for them and what their order books are looking like.
J
8:02Jason PatersonGUEST
Certainly, we have a world-leading supply chain here in the northeast of Scotland and also round about the rest of the UK.
J
8:09Jason PatersonGUEST
It's that lack of real visible projects in the pipeline, and it's been said before already.

So can you just c- explain a little bit more about, you know, what, what are the differences there? What is deepwater wind?
