Episode 1
Published 3 years, 3 months ago
Description
Wind power is contributing more than ever before to our energy system, but what challenges surround the buildout and optimisation of our ever-growing offshore wind fleet? In this episode we revisit one of our favourite conversation between Ørsted’s Bridgit Hartland-Johnson joins Quentin to discuss:
- What goes into building an offshore wind farm.
- How CfDs (contracts for difference) work.
- Why we need more battery energy storage to support our growing wind fleet, and the prospects for wind and BESS co-location.
- What the business models for wind and energy storage look like.
- And, of course, where Ørsted fits into all of this.
