March 2016

The obvious focus for this month’s edition is wind. The growing influence of the wind energy market is hard for even the most sceptical to ignore.

In our lead feature we look at the important work being undertake n by DONG Energy in the UK and around Europe. This pioneering company has laid down the mark for it competition after announcing recently that it plans to build the world’s largest offshore wind farm in the UK. Its hugely successful projects, Race Bank and Gode 2, are already showing signs that they are going to be essential assets in the future and the whole company is buzzing with excitement whenever the record-breaking Hornsea project is mentioned.

We also look at an important wind project from Statoil and partners Statkraft and Masdar. The Dudgeon Offshore Wind Farm will supply 402 MW to the UK grid and is using a best-in-class supply chain to ensure seamless running of the project. This is also a local project for us and is therefore close to our hearts as we can see the work going on in the community around us.

In another very interesting piece from an innovative entrant to the energy market, we look at the work of Capture Mobility and founder Sanwal Muneer. He has developed a technology that could change the face of renewable energy across our road networks and is looking to get the product moving in the near future.
