Offshore Wind
Electrification of offshore oil and gas facilities presents an exciting opportunity to reduce the carbon footprint of the UK’s energy production, helping us all to take big steps towards a net-zero future.
Current plans under consideration could involve rewiring the North sea, building power networks that connect offshore production platforms to the national grid, working on synergies with offshore wind infrastructure to meet iincreasing demand.
To have a meaningful impact, we need to move at pace and see electrification up and running in the next five years. This challenging task will require collaboration like never before; uniting the power sector, the oil and gas sector and the national transmission system and regulatory frameworks and seeking synergies with wind farm developers and technology innovation.
