U.S. Offshore Wind ConfEx 2023 will feature more than 70 world-class speakers across two tracks, and 60+ exhibition booths filled with trailblazers in offshore innovation. This year Reuters Events are elevating the networking opportunities with more than 30 hours of time to build partnerships with industry leaders, accessed through private meetings, dinners & drinks, breakfast briefings, workshop debates, roundtable discussions.

Confirmed speakers include some of the most influential figures in the industry, including Ocean Winds – Bluepoint Wind CEO, John Dempsey, Massachusetts Clean Energy Center CEO, Jennifer Daloisio, and Head of Offshore Wind at Siemens Gamesa, Steven Dayney.

“The U.S. offshore wind industry is on an unstoppable trajectory, projected to generate over 30GW of power in eight East and West Coast states by 2030, providing a $70 billion revenue opportunity to businesses in the supply chain,” said Jessica Jones, Renewables Project Director at Reuters Events. “You’ll meet every major developer, investor, contractor, supplier, manufacturer, and policymaker, and access the keys to thousands of imminent supply chain and service contracts.”

Over two crucial days the event will explore:

• • Beating the Cost Crisis and Reduce Investment Risks: Explore resource availability and market profitability, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the power of PPAs
• • Accelerate Permitting and Advance Interstate Collaboration Amid Political Instability: Discover how to collaborate with all stakeholders to reduce the strain of the permitting process and create a streamlined process for the incoming influx of projects
• • Scale Up and Connect Offshore and Onshore Transmission: Delve into improving and expanding grid connectivity and energy storage to maximize project investment returns in an industry that is here to stay
• • Boost Supply Chain Capacity, Workforce Development, Port and Manufacturing Facilities: Adapt to ever-growing turbine sizes and components, new job roles, and foundation technology in line with the latest procurement and local content insights
• • Expand Your Offshore Wind Reach and Unleash New Areas: Learn how to assess US areas of boundless potential for both fixed-bottom and floating wind and remain at the forefront of competition in a market on an unstoppable trajectory

The Congress brings together key clean energy players to discuss the latest trends of the industry and the potential for market growth in European wind. Among participants are representatives of Energinet, Maple Power, The Scottish Government, Hexicon, Equinor.

Floating turbines are designed to float in the water allowing offshore wind development where the water is too deep for bottom-fixed solutions. A 2019 International Energy Agency report stated that offshore wind, including floating wind, has the potential to produce 11-times more electricity than the world needs. Additionally, floating offshore wind can produce clean hydrogen fuel, desalinate seawater, and decarbonize industries.

Within RE:WIND 2022 Adam Cronin, Head of Offshore at DP Energy, will present the topic “Floating wind — challenges and opportunities.” Mauro Piasere, Robotics, Digital and Industrialized Solutions Director at Saipem, is also among the speakers and will present the topic “Offshore new energies — driving offshore renewable energy growth.”

As the industry is young, there are no standardized systems of construction floating offshore wind platforms and every company uses different approaches. At the same time, a typical platform can be manufactured at scale, which will reduce the cost and make offshore platforms viable.

Meanwhile, talking about a typical platform, it can be manufactured at scale to make offshore platforms viable by reducing the cost.

By standardizing a set of solutions for floating wind, competitive full-scale floating wind farms are developed, demonstrating that floating offshore wind is deployable at scale, in different geographies, and cost effective with local adaptability to the supply chain. Jon Kippenes, Senior Business Development Manager at Fred Olsen Seawind, will talk about floating offshore wind and how to develop a supply chain. Christoph Knop, Head of Commercial Floating Offshore Wind at EnBW AG, will present the topic “Floating wind: pathway to commercialization.”

Upon the backdrop of the COP27 climate conference, key industry changemakers will strategize pathways to providing a secure, clean and affordable power supply across the United States and Canada.

Across two days, Reuters Events will unpack the leadership and finance questions, deep dive into the importance of carbon management and business model innovation and identify the key technologies and innovations available to deliver a decarbonized, electrified energy grid.

“Securing a just and effective energy transition in North America will be crucial to reduce global emissions and ensure security is the defining challenge of our time,” said Owen Rolt, Head of Energy Transition at Reuters Events. “It is fitting that this year we will again be featuring one of the strongest lineups of any energy event in the world.”

To facilitate this seismic shift for the energy industry, Reuters Events has built the forum around five critical themes: delivering net zero North America, security and supply, carbon management strategies, climate technology, and electrification and the grid
