Top 10 Things to Watch in Offshore Wind in '24

that the foundations supporting long-term offshore wind activity remain solid. As we prepare for the new year, let us look at 10 factors that will shape the offshore wind sector in 2024.1. A Continuously Dynamic Energy TrilemmaThe dynamic relationship of the three key drivers of affordable energy, energy security and energy transition was clearly evident in 2023 as energy affordability and security were generally more prominent themes than the transition. 2024 will see a raft of elections within the European Union, and in the UK, the USA and Taiwan, all countries with large offshore wind programs.
