About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges and future growth areas of the offshore wind sector amid rising costs and changing economic conditions.

More than 90 GW of offshore wind capacity has been installed globally, split almost equally between Europe and China. Development in many parts of the world has slowed as rising interest rates and wavering policy support pressure new-project economics. S&P Global Energy expert Andrei Utkin joins hosts Hill Vaden and Sam Humphreys to discuss the global landscape for offshore wind and flag areas that will drive the next wave of sector growth.
