  • Examine the balance between local commitments and globally-competitive sourcing for large steel and concrete components
  • Consider how ports can secure long-term investment certainty against short-notice project orders
  • Compare the standardised jacket and monopile approach used in deepwater with the near mass production assembly floating structures require

PANEL | FINANCING FLOATING & DEEPWATER WIND

09:40 Establish what Investors & Insurers Actually Require Today To Ensure Bankability & Risk Mitigation

  • Floating projects remain difficult to finance and insure while the technology is unproven at scale… so, how do we scale?
  • Early and transparent risk sharing between developers, suppliers and lenders
  • Consider what a genuine track record of completed projects would need to look like before banks treat either technology as an established asset class
