In this episode, Mark Neller, Director, UKIMEA Energy Leader at Arup, pulls back the curtain on what it takes to make offshore wind and renewable projects not just feasible, but irresistible to investors. Discover why a project must be built on solid engineering, community trust, and systemic planning to thrive in today’s volatile markets. You'll hear deep insights on guiding policy, synchronising international markets, and managing the complex transition from traditional energy to sustainable power. 

GWEC's Offshore Wind Podcast is hosted by Stewart Mullin, GWEC's Chief Industry Officer, and Rebecca Williams, GWEC's Deputy CEO, who leads on all GWEC's Offshore Wind work.

The podcast, or 'show' as Stewart still likes to call it, features leading voices from across the sector, whether that is large OEMs, key supply chain manufacturers or political leaders driving policy, to talk about how we can all work together to deliver on offshore wind's enormous potential.
