Case Study: Bristol Port — Unlocking Floating Wind Supply in the Celtic Sea

Time: 14:30 - 15:00
Date: Wednesday 20th May 2026

Theatre: Stream One

Synopsis

Bristol Port is creating the infrastructure to support over 260 floating wind turbines, unlocking 4.5GW of renewable energy for the UK market. This case study explores how port-led investment de-risks project delivery, strengthens supply chains, and accelerates the availability of renewable energy for buyers and sellers.

  • How does Bristol Port’s infrastructure enable large-scale floating wind projects and reliable energy supply?
  • What role does port-led investment play in reducing construction and delivery risk for developers and buyers?
  • How can the port support the growth of the offshore wind market while contributing to Net Zero 2040?

Speaker

  • John Chaplin Director of External Affairs and Special Projects - The Bristol Port Company
