Wind II: Security of Supply in the Renewable Era: Offshore Wind and Power System Stability

 Finland has long tradition in preparedness. However, the measures must be analyzed and developed when energy transition proceeds and operational environment changes. Energy transition has impacts on security of supply, and resilience should be considered when developing the energy system. 

Offshore wind is more than energy—it’s a catalyst for transformation and competitiveness. In his speech Max explores what Finland needs to do to unlock this industry with tried and tested examples from developed offshore markets. He demonstrates the economic impact and opportunities offshore wind brings for growth, jobs and national security
