OUR FOW COE
Established in 2019, our Floating Offshore Wind Centre of Excellence (FOW CoE) aims to accelerate the commercialization of floating offshore wind within the UK. Several years on and the centre has laid the groundwork for increased deployment of floating wind, delivering evidence and guidance to partners and stakeholders regarding the industry’s commercialisation.
Working across several workstreams, the multi-disciplinary structure of the programme reflects the diverse and inter-related topic areas key to commercialisation and broader industrial strategy.
