SUMMARY:Mission to RenewableUK 2025 Global Offshore Wind Conference & Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:MRC is leading a mission to the RenewableUK 2025 Global Offshore Wind Conference & Exhibition\, taking place this June 17-18 In London.   \nThe RenewableUK Global OSW Conference & Exhibition is the largest OSW event in the UK\, attracting approx. 5000 attendees\, including all the major developers and tier 1& 2 suppliers\, and features a large exhibition space. You can view the full list of exhibitors here and the conference program here. \nThe UK is a global leader in offshore wind with over 14GW of operating capacity\, providing over 17% of the UK’s electricity needs\, and has an ambitious target to deliver up to 60GW of offshore wind\, including 5GW of floating offshore wind by 2030.  The UK’s offshore wind sector is in a period of significant growth and development\, with a focus on expanding capacity\, exploring new technologies like floating wind\, and addressing the challenges associated with the transition to a clean energy future.  The rapid expansion of the offshore wind sector will require a robust and capable supply chain\, providing real opportunities for Canadian companies. A few key developments and trends include: \n\nConstruction and Commissioning: Several large offshore wind projects are nearing completion and are expected to begin full operations in 2025.\nFloating Offshore Wind: The UK is making significant strides in floating offshore wind technology\, particularly in the Celtic Sea\, with planned leasing rounds and potential for substantial capacity growth.\nRenewable Energy Growth: Renewable energy sources\, including offshore wind\, are expected to contribute a larger share of the UK’s energy mix by the end of 2025\, potentially exceeding fossil fuels.\nDecommissioning and Lifetime Extension: The UK is also addressing the end-of-life of older offshore wind farms\, with recommendations for extending their operational lifespans and developing effective decommissioning strategies.\nPolicy and Support: The UK government is implementing various policies and reforms to support the development of offshore wind\, including adjustments to the Contracts for Difference (CfD) mechanism and the allocation of new marine-protected areas.\n\nWith that in mind\, we have identified the RenewableUK Global Offshore Wind Conference & Exhibition as an ideal opportunity. Below are details on the mission: \nMRC Mission to RenewableUK Global Offshore Wind Conference & Exhibition\, June 17-18 \nMission Dates – June 16-20\, 2025 \nLocation – London\, UK (with site visit to Blyth) \nMission Participation Fee – $1500 + tx per company (**one (1) conference delegate pass is included with this fee). \nTravel Funding – Partial travel funding may be available for MRC members (Canadian companies) in accordance with our travel funding policy\, pending CanExport approval\, expected any time now.

MRC recommends that you research COVID-19 testing requirements for the United States and Canada in the lead up to this mission. It is your responsibility to arrange and cover the costs of any testing that may be required.\nThe decision to participate in the noted mission and any related travel is your choice and everyone is responsible for their own personal safety abroad. The Government of Canada takes the safety and security of Canadians abroad very seriously and provides credible and timely information to enable everyone to make well-informed decisions regarding travel abroad.\nTravelers should know that restrictions can change quickly and may be imposed by countries with little warning. Should you choose to travel outside Canada\, travel plans may be severely disrupted. For example\, travelers may be forced to remain outside of Canada longer than expected and should not depend on the Government of Canada or MRC for assistance related to changes to travel plans.

The closest option is to fly into Philadelphia and travel to Atlantic City via car\, bus or train. All 3 options will take approx. 1 – 2 hours with car being fastest and the train being the slowest (bus is the cheapest). CLICK HERE for details on all 3 options.\nNOTE – You can also fly into Newark and travel to Atlantic City from there (flight options/times seem much better than into Philadelphia)\, but it’s a bit longer travel (about a 2 hour drive).  You can also take a bus or the train – CLICK HERE for details\n\nThe fee to participate in this mission is $750 + tx (this includes your IPF conference full delegate pass – $2500US value)
