What is Offshore Wind?
Offshore wind is a form of renewable energy generated by wind turbines located in coastal and deep-water environments, where wind speeds are typically stronger and more consistent than on land. Offshore wind farms capture these high, steady ocean winds to drive large turbines, converting kinetic energy into electricity that is transmitted to shore via subsea cables and integrated into the onshore power grid. Because offshore sites face fewer physical barriers and benefit from more consistent wind, they can deliver higher energy outputs and more reliable clean power than many land-based installations. As a result, offshore wind plays a crucial role in accelerating the global transition to sustainable energy.
Phases of an Offshore Wind Project
Offshore wind projects are complex, multi-year ventures that unfold in three main phases, providing extensive opportunities across engineering, technical, and project management roles.
- Development (3–5 years): Environmental, geophysical, geotechnical, and meteorological experts conduct detailed site assessments and feasibility studies to evaluate the potential of offshore wind farms.
- Pre-Construction (1–3 years): Structural and mechanical engineers finalise turbine and foundation designs, electrical engineers handle grid connection planning, while project managers coordinate overall planning and regulatory approvals.
- Construction (2–4 years): Construction managers, installation vessel operators, and commissioning engineers lead turbine installation, testing and project delivery to ensure operational readiness.
