1.  The Crown Estate and the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult have published an updated and extended version of the popular ‘A Guide to an Offshore Wind Farm’, to help a range of stakeholders and potential new market entrants understand how an offshore wind farm is built, operated and maintained.

2.  Parliamentary Office for Science & Technology Briefing ‘UK power generation from wind has increased in recent years due to sharp reductions in the costs of constructing and operating wind power facilities. Onshore wind power provides the cheapest electricity of any form of new generation built, and offshore is expected to continue to reduce in cost. Generating wind power does not emit greenhouse gases, hence future growth will help the UK meet its GHG emissions reduction targets. This POSTnote examines the innovations that have enabled wind power cost reductions, associated policy considerations and challenges for future deployment.’
