Developments that could secure the UK's future energy needs and create thousands of jobs have been welcomed by scientists, researchers, and entrepreneurs at the University of Plymouth.
Floating Offshore Wind (FLOW) in the Celtic Sea, which sits off the coasts of South West England and South Wales is set create up to 4.5GW of energy capacity by 2035, together with social, economic and environmental opportunities for the regions.
And the Crown Estate, which owns the seabed has outlined new details for companies bidding to develop some of the world's biggest floating wind farms, including requirements, and anticipated timelines for the leasing process coming in 2024.
Perfectly situated in Britain's Ocean City, the University of Plymouth has unrivalled technical capabilities and expertise in this area. It is home to the UK Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Test facility and other specialist laboratories that are making this green energy revolution possible, including the COAST Lab, Maritime Simulation Lab, and Cyber-SHIP Lab.
