The Offshore Wind R&I Programme is being delivered by EMEC and sponsored by the West of Orkney Windfarm. The Programme is exploring ways to overcome specific technical challenges in offshore wind and to embed the economic benefits in the north of Scotland.

A series of innovation calls will address different challenge areas facing the West of Orkney Windfarm, spanning metocean, installation, logistics, and operations and maintenance (O&M).

The first in a series of innovation calls has opened for applications, with up to £300,000 available to projects.

The first innovation call is looking for solutions that address at least one of the following challenges:

• Understanding metocean conditions at and en-route to the West of Orkney Windfarm site, to inform decision making on installation and O&M activities.

• Design for short weather window installations to maximise opportunities for efficient installation within short weather windows.

The innovation call will close at 1pm, Monday 12 February 2024.

Agenda:

• R&I Programme overview
• Challenge areas
• Innovation call
