Wind power’s share of global energy production has doubled in the last decade as countries increase their renewable energy investment. However, climate change is expected to alter global wind patterns creating risks for an industry that predominantly relies on historic data to predict future wind speeds and energy generation.

Our expert panel discussed how to assess climate risk at wind asset sites and how climate risk data can be used across infrastructure investments, asset management, and ESG teams.

Discussion points:

– The importance of considering climate risk in infrastructure investments
– How satellite data-informed climate models can help create a more resilient energy transition
– What risks and opportunities climate change will create for wind energy assets
– Where climate data fits into renewables investment and asset management processes
– Planned innovations in the space industry and how will these inform climate models
– Details on open funding opportunities from the UK Space Agency
