IDEA-IRL Podcast – Where There’s A Will, There’s A Way
The IDEA Ireland project podcast series looks at the offshore wind farm industry featuring experts on key aspects of the design and operation of a floating offshore wind farm. Through the series, you will get an overview of the industry, the stakeholders involved in developing a floating wind farm, and the opportunities and challenges that floating wind presents.
In this episode, MaREI’s Fiona Devoy McAuliffe is joined by Val Cummins, Chief Impact Officer and Board Director of Simply Blue Group. She gives us her take on the current state of the FLOW sector and what’s required for Ireland to achieve our national ambitions to decarbonise the economy.
The podcast is brought to you by a collection of industry experts, University College Cork (UCC), Gavin and Doherty Geosolutions (GDG) and Wind Energy Ireland (WEI) are working alongside an International Energy Association (IEA) Wind Energy task 49 to develop Integrated Designs for Floating Offshore Wind Farms (IDEA).
