The offshore wind industry has expanded significantly in Asia and is expected to play a critical role in the energy transition across the continent. Global events in the last two years may have provided some challenges to the industry’s progress. However, with a potential installed capacity of 100 GW by 2030 and multiple drivers for growth, offshore wind in Asia still presents ample opportunities for participants.

In this webinar, we discuss the current state of development of the key offshore wind markets in Asia, recent global events, new technologies and the opportunities and challenges in the newer markets with our panel of market, technical, legal and finance experts.

Join our virtual meeting room for what promises to be an insightful discussion, after which you will be invited to participate in an interactive Q&A. Speakers will be announced soon.
