Earlier this summer our Business Development Manager – Renewables, Callum Maxwell was one of the guests in an engaging Industry Spotlight panel session during OGV Energy’s OGV Live – Offshore Wind special. The discussion explored opportunities for innovation within the supply chain, among many relevant topics. Callum talked about offshore wind’s “elephant in the room”, namely the critical issue of cable and termination faults and failures, and our own step change technology ECG™ to address and alleviate these.

We are delighted that ECG™, our step change in holistic subsea cable monitoring, has been spotlighted and featured as an example of “great innovation” in the Offshore Wind Industry Council (OWIC) Innovation Workstream’s 2023 Innovation Focus Report. This OWIC initiative has comprised numerous key industry stakeholders, including RenewableUK and the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult among others. OWIC works collaboratively to seek positive change and accelerate the offshore wind sector in the UK. ECG™ is one of just four case studies to be featured in this report, with our contract to monitor the condition and integrity of the inter-array cables on the vast Dogger Bank Wind Farm phases A and B an aspect highlighted.
