Description

In this episode of the Wind Power podcast, three key figures in the UK wind industry speak to Windpower Monthly about the critical opportunities – and challenges – ahead of the country's next major offshore wind auction, Allocation Round 7 (AR7).


While attending RenewableUK’s Global Offshore Wind conference in London, senior reporter Robyn White sat down with Darren Davidson of Siemens Energy, Dan McGrail of Great British Energy, and Jane Cooper of RenewableUK. They discussed the potential of AR7, the role of public investment, and what it will take to keep the UK leading in offshore wind.


Also on this episode, we hear a snippet from the UK's Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Ed Miliband, recorded live at the conference. He outlined some of the government’s aims for offshore wind as the auction round approaches.


This episode was produced by Inga Marsden.
