What was the event about?

What are the current risks, challenges, and opportunities in the offshore wind supply chain and how does Scotland and the UK remain competitive?

Discussion points:

-We’ve seen recent constraints on HVDC cable supply and manufacturers making moves to increase capacity, what other components will we see have similar constraints?
-OEMs in financial difficulties – what could be the impact across the supply chain and what do you see happening next?
-What needs to happen at the regulatory/government level to enable the UK to differentiate itself? Would the SIM help?
-How the market can manage pricing that was secured through CfD R3 & R4 and what does this means for future CfD rounds?
