Great to see Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Minister Patrick O'Donovan TD launch 'Ireland’s new Offshore Wind Skills Action Plan' today. The Plan is part of a strategic initiative aimed at addressing the growing need for skilled workers in the offshore wind industry. This Skills Action Plan follows the comprehensive report, 'Building Our Potential: Ireland’s Offshore Wind Skills and Talent Needs', that we produced with Green Tech Skillnet and Wind Energy Ireland. In response to this report, The Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science commissioned BVGA to develop a skills action plan to address the identified skills shortages in Ireland. Leo Bertels led our team for both the 'Building Our Potential: Ireland’s Offshore Wind Skills and Talent Needs' and skills action plan projects. #offshorewind #skills #ireland https://lnkd.in/e9nbF5gy

Great to see "The Offshore Wind Map for Romania" published today. Incorporating our expert research and analytical work, "The Offshore Wind Roadmap for Romania" outlines a realistic vision for the development of a successful offshore wind industry. Backed by a good wind resource, well-equipped port facilities, proven steel-based supply chain and skilled local workforce, offshore wind power offers Romania a large-scale domestic source of clean energy. The European Commission and The World Bank Group supported by the Government of Romania have published this roadmap to help realize the vast potential of offshore wind in Romania. The roadmap was produced as part of the project ‘Internal energy market and energy transition in Romania’ which received technical support from the European Commission’s Directorate General for Structural Reform Support (DG REFORM). The project was funded by the European Union via the Technical Support Instrument and was implemented by the World Bank and IFC - International Finance Corporation (IFC), with the support of DG REFORM and in collaboration with the Government of Romania. This was our 4th national offshore wind roadmap for World Bank Group, and we remain fully committed to helping with next steps for offshore wind in Romania. #Romania #offshorewind #renewableenergy For more see: https://lnkd.in/egSykbx7
