ICE published its latest report on the challenges and opportunities behind the deployment of Offshore Renewables in UK waters. The report can be found here.
ICE also hosted a panel discussion which included Alan Simpson MP, leading campaigner on the environment and economic issues; Professor Bakr Bahaj of the University of Southampton and one of the report authors; and Chris Tomlinson of Renewable UK. Chairing the debate was ICE Vice-President Richard Coackley.
The discussion covered a variety of issues from the engineering challenges; the importance of a more effective planning system; helping secure and directing appropriate sources of private investment and delivering the amount of skilled workers required. In addition panellists and audience alike made the point that the education of, and engagement with, the public regarding the benefits of new technology and infrastructure must take place.
