Targeted research to accelerate the future of offshore renewable energy
Offshore renewable energy is now recognised as integral to securing a resilient and sustainable energy system for the UK. The opportunity for clean energy and economic growth is clear, but maximising the benefits for the UK is not guaranteed. For the UK to remain competitive in this growing market, it will be essential to coordinate the underpinning research that drives innovation and focus on high-impact priorities.
What is the Strategic Research Accelerator
- A new report guiding UK offshore renewable energy research and innovation towards high-impact challenges.
Why it Matters
- The foundation of the sector’s success is a strong pipeline of disruptive research and innovation.
- Without coordinated research, UK competitiveness cannot be guaranteed.
What the Strategic Research Accelerator Achieves
- Identifies cross-cutting research priorities across offshore renewable energy.
- Supports cost reduction, improved performance, and greater system resilience.
- Helps anchor social, environmental, and economic value in the UK.
The new report distils a complex landscape of interconnected opportunities spanning technical, system-level, environmental, and economic opportunities and challenges into a clear set of research priorities. Supergen ORE Hub's consultation work has gathered the perspectives and insight from stakeholders across the offshore renewable energy sector, to identify the research needs that will be critical to accelerating progress in offshore wind, wave, and tidal energy.
The Strategic Research Accelerator (SRA) will be published soon. Join our network mailing list to receive launch notifications and updates - add your email here.
