Offshore Wind
Offshore wind energy represents a huge opportunity for renewables developers. For example, Scotland’s wind energy resource alone is estimated to represent 25% of Europe’s total resource*. With significant investment expected in the sector over the coming decades, it is clear that energy organisations at the helm of development opportunities now will reap the benefits in the future. However, realising those benefits requires the support of a company like Xodus with a proven record in development planning and expertise in the challenging offshore environment.
Our project portfolio covers over 30 offshore renewable energy projects since 1993, working with developers and government bodies. We understand the scale and implications of the new industry opportunity being developed, for example, in relation to the Crown Estates Round 3 offshore wind developer agreements in the UK.
Our environmental, technical risk and engineering services combined with years of experience in the oil and gas sector means that our people are capable of meeting the most acute needs in the rapidly evolving offshore wind sector. Our team is truly multi-disciplinary and the integration of our skills and services is what sets Xodus apart.
