Strategic and technical advice to scope out future partnership opportunities between the TCE’s Offshore Wind Evidence and Change (OWEC) Programme and NERC’s marine research portfolio. Work included:
- Review of the OWEC programme to identify science questions and links through to regulatory impact
- Review of the NERC marine portfolio to determine areas of alignment and preferred partnership model
- Engagement with key industry, government and academic stakeholders to sound out the feasibility of the programme
- Development of a recommendations report to inform funding decisions for Crown Estate and NERC.
Defra, UK 2020 - 2021
Reviewing Mitigation Methods for Offshore Wind
This project will collate information about the different types and specifications of measures to mitigate environmental impact which are currently being used in offshore wind in the UK and globally, including any new or emerging techniques of relevance. Measures are critically reviewed to understand their effectiveness, barriers to use, and where appropriate their transferability to the UK market. An assessment will be made of the regulatory aspect of deploying the highlighted mitigation measures, with input from industry and relevant stakeholders

Orsted UK 2020
Delivery of compensation measures for ornithology impacts arising from Hornsea 3 Offshore Wind Farm
Advice included an overview of relevant policy and legislation from which potential delivery mechanisms to increase sandeel stock in the English inshore and offshore part of the North Sea were identified. For each delivery mechanism it was outlines: what the action will achieve, timescales to secure, key stakeholders, any barriers to delivery, opportunities, risks, and evidence gaps.

The Crown Estate 2019 - 2020
Offshore Wind Strategic Enabling Actions
Strategic advisor to the Crown Estate to support them in establishing a strategic enabling actions programme with the aim of increasing the available knowledge and evidence to support sustainable and coordinated expansion of offshore wind and achieve net zero carbon emission in line with UK government policy.
Work included a stakeholder and policy mapping and gap analysis exercise to understand the policy and delivery landscape for consenting offshore wind deployment in the UK. An outcome focused approach to an enabling actions programme for consenting offshore wind in the UK was developed that included actions on institutional capacity development, marine research and data needs and regulatory process improvement. Led the engagement between TCE and senior civil servants in UK government to determine functional delivery arrangements and get agreement on how the programme could deliver against multiple policy outcomes.
