Key takeaways from Construction of #Offshore Wind Farms event, organised by The Embassy of The Netherlands, Lithuanian Wind Power Association #LVEA, #vanoord and #siemensgamesa here in #Vilnius.

The offshore wind sector is growing more rapidly that you could expect. Manufacturers and developers are now building orders for 2025/2026 for #offshorewindturbines, #monopiles, #exportcables and vessels, and it’s a race to keep up with the demand.

As the industry grows, we are seeing bigger and bigger ships and wind turbines being built, which presents a huge challenge in preparing and training #peoplefor wind energy services that will work offshore. It’s essential to invest in the workforce to ensure that we have the skilled professionals needed to keep up with the growth and demand in this industry.

If you’re considering ordering offshore wind turbines, there is a possibility that you might not receive them until 2026 or even 2027 due to the #highdemand, #supplychain and long lead times. Therefore, it’s critical to plan ahead and order early to avoid delays.

In particular, #PortofKlaipeda must immediately attract investments to keep up with the competition. Other ports are winning for logistical superiority, and it’s essential that Port of Klaipeda stays competitive to ensure that the offshore wind industry has a reliable logistical partner in the region.

In conclusion – #offshorewind #energy needs investment in logistical infrastructure, training and preparing workforce for offshore wind parks, thorough planning of manufacturing process.
