What are you thinking about The Crown Estate and GB Energy's 'Future of Offshore Wind' report, then? The Crown Estate said it is hoping to provide visibility for developers, identify new areas for biodiversity, and accelerate the delivery of offshore renewables. This includes bringing to market seabed rights for an additional 20GW-30GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030, for projects to be delivered by 2040, and looking at how it can remove some of the hurdles facing developers so it can accelerate the delivery of projects. At Tamarindo, we welcome the goal to unlock investment in UK offshore wind, but I'm sure there will be plenty of discussion in the coming days about whether this will enable the sector to achieve its goals and whether the proposals will lead to unintended consequences. This is why The Crown Estate and GB Energy are starting consultation with the industry on the plan. For example, most of the new capacity is earmarked for area off the coasts of south Wales and southwest England, in the Celtic Sea. This is in addition to smaller projects off the coasts of north Wales, northwest England, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire. We'll look at this more in A Word About Wind in the days ahead, but we'd love to hear if there are any themes that have jumped out to you after an initial read. What do you think we should focus on?

That is a unique project that has been completed in the UK. I believe it would be beneficial to see how other remote regions around the world may benefit from the usage of wind farms. I may speak from what is closest to me. The Shetland Islands seem to have the same situation as does the Russian island called Sakhalin in terms of its development and proximity to mainland. The island’s remoteness leads to the expensive transportation of fossil fuel by water. While such a project may be expensive, it would bring down the costs of electricity for Sakhalin residents and contribute to habitat conservation of abundant wildlife. That is why following projects like this one is important for many countries that have territories with difficult access. #wind #remoteproject #renewables #windfarms #onshorewind #onshore
