The fine-tuned capabilities are now transferred to the offshore wind sector for technology and services conceptualisation. Companies developing the North Sea wind resources could benefit from the lessons learned in Norway and add complementary expertise in order to achieve their targets. In order to inform the Norwegian offshore industry participants about the opportunities in the two most important markets for offshore wind competence, Innovation Norway and INTPOW – Norwegian Renewable Energy Partners have collaborated to commission two studies - Offshore Wind Germany and Offshore Wind UK, both inspired by the two Norwegian Offshore Wind Clusters Arena NOWand Windcluster Mid-Norway. In order to promote the Norwegian offshore wind capabilities, Norwegian Renewable Energy Partners – INTPOW and Innovation Norway have also commissioned a market Study and mapping of the emerging Norwegian offshore wind supply chain.

    TRANSITION Meeting Britain’s energy BY needs together CONSENT Cameron Tait p post ABOUT THE FABIAN SOCIETY The Fabian Society is Britain’s oldest political think tank. Since 1884 the society has played a central role in developing political ideas and public policy on the left. It aims to promote greater equality of power and opportunity; the value of collective public action; a vibrant, tolerant and accountable democracy; citizenship, liberty and human rights; sustainable development; and multilateral international co-operation. Through a wide range of publications and events the society influences political and public thinking, but also provides a space for broad and open-minded debate, drawing on an unrivalled external network and its own expert research and analysis. Its programme offers a unique breadth, encompassing national conferences and expert seminars; periodicals, books, reports and digital communications; and commissioned and in-house research and comment. The Society is alone among think tanks in being a democratically-constituted membership organisation, with almost 7,000 members. Over time our membership has included many of the key thinkers on the British left and every Labour prime minister. Today we count over 200 parliamentarians in our number. The voluntary society includes 70 local societies, the Fabian Women’s Network and the Young Fabians, which is itself the leading organisation on the left for young people to debate and influence political ideas. The society was one of the original founders of the Labour party and is constitutionally affiliated to the party. We are however editorially, organisationally and financially independent and work with a wide range of partners from all political persuasions and none.
