As a market leader in floating wind, RWE is dedicated to exploring and supporting innovative solutions that can accelerate the pace of safe deployment of floating wind to de-risk the technology and contribute to a sustainable future.
RWE has ambitious targets to:
To achieve these targets RWE has committed to investing €55 billion in the expansion of renewable energies between 2024 and 2030, and to be a trailblazer in the rollout of promising innovations. In addition, sustainability is an integral part of RWE’s corporate strategy, with a focus on the benefits of our projects for local communities and biodiversity enhancement.
Floating wind is a promising technology with strong global potential and RWE is well-placed to be a market leader in the future. As part of this, we want to find innovative solutions which promote biodiversity, reduce ecological impact and create a mutually beneficial relationship between floating development and local marine stakeholders.
We strive to make a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate, and recognise that early, consistent and open communication with all of our stakeholders is paramount. We are actively engaging with other ocean users to identify challenges and suitable measures to promote co-use.
RWE has a strong focus on ensuring sustainable floating wind development and we want to accelerate our efforts to find practical, high-impact opportunities that can be deployed on commercial-scale projects.
Therefore, RWE is launching a global “Floating Wind Co-use Competition” that is seeking innovative and sustainable solutions for the following two categories:
The solutions can be technological, commercial, knowledge-based, or other innovative strategies. This competition is focused on solutions for RWE’s international floating project portfolio.
