RenewableUK和苏格兰可再生能源公司已经成立了一个新的行业组织，以制定在英国大规模部署浮式海上风电的战略。
浮风指导小组的目标是为浮风的未来和英国的持续发展制定一个共识愿景。
根据创始人的说法，该集团包括来自开发商和供应链公司以及英国各地区的代表。
“创新是海上风电行业长期增长的关键，浮动涡轮机将在更深的水域开辟新的区域，特别是在苏格兰海岸附近，目前正在考虑新的开发地点，”Jenny Hogan说。苏格兰可再生能源公司副总裁。
“在全球范围内，大部分海上风电潜力都在更深的水域，需要浮动技术，因此该行业为整个英国提供了新的工业机会。”
商业，能源和工业战略部（BEIS）目前正在制定一份白皮书，该白皮书将更新政府的电力战略以及浮动风电行业寻求的机会，以便认识到英国有机会开拓新技术和工业机会。
最近公布的海上风电行业交易中也提到了浮动海上风电，该行业认识到新技术将有助于到2050年达到50GW的海上风电容量。
值得提醒的是，英国是世界上第一个浮动海上风电场的所在地，该项目于2017年投入使用，该项目为30MW Hywind Scotland项目。

UK Industry Gathers to Set Out Floating Wind Strategy
RenewableUK and Scottish Renewables have launched a new industry group to set out the strategy for large-scale deployment of floating offshore wind in the UK.
The Floating Wind Steering Group will meet with the aim of producing a consensus vision for the future of floating wind and the business case for its continued development in the UK.
According to the founders, the group includes representatives from developers and supply chain companies, and from regions around the UK.
“Innovation is key to the long-term growth set out in the Offshore Wind Sector Deal and floating turbines will open up new areas in deeper waters, particularly off the coast of Scotland with new sites for development currently being considered,” said Jenny Hogan, Deputy Chief Executive at Scottish Renewables.
“Globally, much of the offshore wind potential is in deeper waters that will need floating technology, so this sector offers new industrial opportunities across the UK.”
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) is currently developing a white paper which will the government’s electricity strategy and which the floating wind industry seeks in order to recognize the opportunity for the UK to pioneer new technology and industrial opportunities.
Floating offshore wind was also mentioned in the recently published Offshore Wind Sector Deal, and the industry recognizes that new technology will be valuable in helping reach 50GW of offshore wind capacity by 2050, the parties said.
To remind, the UK is home to the world’s first floating offshore wind farm, the 30MW Hywind Scotland project, commissioned in 2017.
