Vårgrønn

Thousands of jobs in green industries announced as the UK Government welcomes more than £24 billion of private investment for pioneering energy projects ahead of the International Investment Summit on 14th October.      Our Green Volt, together with Flotation Energy, will provide a vital stepping stone to wide scale deployment of floating offshore wind in Britain, contributing to the UK Government goal to develop five gigawatts by 2030. Up to 40 direct jobs are to be based at the Granite City HQ, which is expected to trigger around £2.5bn of investment and 2,800 jobs in construction. The announcement follows the UK Government’s decision to headquarter Great British Energy in Aberdeen. “Whether you’re in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or England – we are creating the conditions for businesses to thrive, and our International Investment Summit will be a springboard for every part of the UK to be an engine of innovation and investment.” says Prime Minister Keir Starmer. “I look forward to taking part in the governments International Investment Summit on Monday to discuss the opportunities in energy transition.” says Stephen Bull OBE, CEO Vårgrønn.  #Offshorewind #floatingwind #greenvolt

#Floatingwind24 keynote: Developers as connectors, new collaborative supply chain models “This is Roxy, she is our red Toyota Yaris. She weighs 1.1 tonne of mostly high strength carbon steel” This is how our Foundation Package Manager, Rui Rui Wang CEng MICE, opened her presentation at FOW24 earlier today. You need 3,182 Roxies to produce one floating foundation, which could be the size of the Eiffel Tower. Now, imagine building 35 of these structures and transporting them offshore so they can operate far out at sea. This is why supply chain and logistics are the most challenging aspects of the project life cycle, but with these challenges come opportunities: ▪ Collaborate early ▪ Connect people ▪ Share knowledge ▪ Proactively engage ▪ Adapt to succeed The principles Rui Rui presented earlier today have been mentioned before; what’s new is that Vårgrønn and Flotation Energy have adopted these principles for #GreenVolt, the most advances commercial-scale floating wind project in Europe, and are seeing incredible, real-life results!

Let’s connect at Floating Offshore Wind 2024! Renewable energy is more competitive and attractive than ever, and floating offshore wind is more relevant than ever before, unlocking tremendous global potential. Vårgrønn is well positioned to capitalise on these opportunities, but a comprehensive floating wind industry strategy across all parts of the government is required. Our CEO, Stephen Bull OBE, will be speaking on the panel “Floating Offshore Wind 2024: Building Our Vision” alongside a fantastic line-up on Wednesday, 9 October at 09:40 AM in Conference Suite 1. Additionally, Rui Rui Wang CEng MICE, Foundation Package Manager, will present at the SSE Renewables Theatre at 10:00 AM on “Developers as Connectors: New Collaborative Supply Chain Models.” Later that day, Charlotte Elmelid, Electrical System Manager, will represent Vårgrønn in the panel session “Harnessing Innovation in Floating Offshore Wind Technologies” at 14:30 PM in Conference Suite 2A. We’re excited to network with you! Our team will be available throughout both days, so be sure to join one of our sessions or come chat with us at the event. #FloatingWind24 #offshorewind
