The guide also describes how the industry has grew in the last two decades, and has now become a mainstream source of power. It also presents the ways that an offshore wind farm is built, identifying all its parts, from turbine components to cabling and onshore electricity substations.
The guide will be available at the Ørsted Skills Hub at RenewableUK’s event in Manchester Central, where students interested in this industry will have a chance to meet representatives from major companies and learn about what working in offshore wind is like.
