A new report developed by energy consultancy Xodus has highlighted New Zealand’s significant opportunity to unlock its offshore wind industry.<\/p>\n
With world-leading expertise in the field and being the world’s second-largest offshore wind market, the UK is uniquely positioned to help New Zealand reap the benefits of its abundant renewable sources.<\/p>\n
With 15,000 km of coastline, New Zealand has immense potential to harness world-class wind resources, positioning itself to achieve its climate goals and foster a green economy<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to the report, New Zealand has the key components to rapidly advance its offshore wind industry: abundant resources, rising demand, a supportive regulatory framework, and a strong social mandate.<\/p>\n With 13.9 GW of offshore wind energy fully commissioned by 2023, the UK has developed a highly capable supply chain.<\/p>\n The UK government is focused on meeting its own growing energy needs, which are projected to triple by 2030, while also exporting its expertise to countries like New Zealand.<\/p>\nLeveraging the UK’s wind expertise<\/h3>\n
