Facilitating offshore wind in India

India is a growth region for renewable energy. DNV talks to Steve Sawyer, Secretary General of the Global Wind Energy Council, about the development of offshore wind in India. Steve addresses a key question: in a country as big as India, why offshore wind? Developing wind energy offshore can be both challenging and risky. In light of this, what are the main challenges for India? Steve talks about the role the FOWIND project will play in India’s offshore wind energy development. Finally, the opportunities that exist for foreign players to contribute to India’s offshore wind industry are considered.
