EquinorTALKS | Unlocking offshore wind’s potential

EquinorTALKS @ ONS 2024

This session focuses on the further development of offshore wind in Norway. We need more renewable power for green industry, we must contribute to cutting greenhouse gas emissions and we must create new activities and new jobs. New areas for offshore wind, will provide predictability for a growing industry, and make it easier to reduce costs in the long term.

So, how do we unlock its potential and make sure we maintain and strengthen both public and political support for our industry?
