<\/p>\n

Global industry advocacy group World Forum Offshore Wind (WFO) has created a new working group – the Floating Offshore Wind Committee (FOWC) – to promote the acceleration of commercial-scale floating offshore wind.<\/p>\n

FOWC will tackle areas from policy-making through health and safety to maritime spatial planning.<\/p>\n

According to WFO, the new initiative aims outperforming the installed capacity and cost competitiveness seen with bottom-fixed offshore wind today. The principal objectives of the committee are education, advocacy and policymaking, as well as enabling cost reductions and commercial-scale deployment.<\/p>\n

It also aims to promote the highest health and safety standards and engage with environmental stakeholders and maritime space users.<\/p>\n

The new initiative will be chaired by Bruno Geschier from Ideol and co-chaired by Cl\u00e9ment Weber from Green Giraffe. WFO members innogy and Northland Power have already confirmed to proactively participate in this exciting new initiative.<\/p>\n
