About the webinar

Globally, the history of offshore wind dates back to 1991, with the set-up of the first offshore wind turbine in Denmark. Offshore wind energy projects of more than 57 GW have been installed in more than 15 countries worldwide. In South Asia, India has a long coastline of about 7500 km surrounded by water on three sides and has good prospects for harnessing offshore wind energy. By capitalising on its vast coastal resources, India can address its energy challenges, stimulate economic growth, protect the environment, and emerge as a global leader in renewable energy. 

The primary objective of this complimentary webinar is to increase awareness about the potential of offshore wind energy in India's renewable energy mix. Industry experts will be providing insights on India's future of offshore wind energy as a part of their presentation.

Points to be covered in the webinar

• Global perspective of offshore wind 
• Exchange of insights, experiences, risk, and mitigation or precautionary measures to be considered by Indian Offshore Wind developers, taking an example of ‘South Korea’ offshore wind process development  
• Q&A Session
