Corio Generation is joining the Global Offshore Wind Alliance (GOWA), a coalition founded by the Government of Denmark, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and GWEC.
Corio will join as one of GOWA’s leading industry representatives and has pledged to work with the alliance’s membership to ramp up offshore wind deployment worldwide.
Governments that have so far joined the alliance include Australia, Belgium, Colombia, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, the UK and the USA.
Launched at COP27 in Egypt in November 2022, GOWA aims to be a driving force for the worldwide rollout of offshore wind through political mobilisation and the creation of a global community of practice.
The alliance will consider ways to deliver a minimum of 380GW in offshore wind capacity by 2030, with 35GW on average each year across the 2020s and a minimum of 70GW each year from 2030.
Headquartered in London, UK, Corio has one of the world’s largest offshore wind project pipelines, standing at around 30GW today.
Jonathan Cole, CEO of Corio Generation, said: “In all regions of the world, across advanced and emerging economies, governments are looking seriously at offshore wind as a reliable source of clean, green and affordable renewable energy.
“Rapid technological progress has opened the door to deploying offshore windfarms at scale, but barriers remain which can only be solved if public and private sectors work together.”
