A leading renewable energy expert has heralded 2020 as having been a “massive year” for the development of floating offshore wind.
John MacAskill, business development and operations director for London-headquartered wind engineering advisers Offshore Wind Consultants, said it’s now a “given” that large projects will be deployed globally in the coming years.
