The ETC's membership includes offshore wind industry players: bp, Iberdrola, Octopus Energy, Petronas, Shell, SSE, and Vattenfall.

Key Points: 
  • The ETC's membership includes offshore wind industry players: bp, Iberdrola, Octopus Energy, Petronas, Shell, SSE, and Vattenfall.
  • But in 2022-2023, inflation, supply chain bottlenecks, and higher interest rates led to rising offshore wind costs in some markets.
  • A perceived offshore wind "crisis" ensued, in the UK and US markets in particular, as many projects and contracts were cancelled.

Although robots have been used by the wind energy industry to paint and polish blades, automation has not been widely adopted.

Key Points: 
  • Although robots have been used by the wind energy industry to paint and polish blades, automation has not been widely adopted.
  • The post-molding operations to manufacture wind turbine blades require workers to perch on scaffolding and wear protective suits including respiratory gear.
  • “This work is critical to enable significant U.S.-based blade manufacturing for the domestic wind turbine market,” said Daniel Laird, director of the National Wind Technology Center at NREL.
  • Wind turbine blades are considerably longer, but because they bend and deflect under their own weight, a robot would have to be programmed to work on the bigger blades section by section.
