The UK is on the cusp of a once in a lifetime opportunity to become world leaders in the deployment of floating wind with two primary sea areas, one being the Celtic Sea.
The Welsh Government and Cornwall & Isles of Scilly Local Enterprise Partnership, with the support of the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult, Celtic Sea Power and Marine Energy Wales, have been developing the concept for a Celtic Sea Cluster to help drive market creation for floating wind, accelerate supply chain readiness and develop a strategy for upgrading regional infrastructure. The Cluster will be the single industry voice to respond to the growing number of project developers staking a claim to areas of seabed in the Celtic Sea, the area of ocean situated off the coast of Cornwall, between Wales and Ireland.
After more than a year in planning the Cluster is now ready to be launched.
At this event Ministers, together with speakers from Welsh Government, Cornwall & Isle of Scilly Local Enterprise Partnership, the Crown Estate, and ORE Catapult will describe the economic benefits that could be derived from deployment of floating wind in the Celtic Sea, discuss the regulatory issues, describe what the cluster is and how it will operate, and explain how you can get involved and help address the challenges facing the sector.
