The Renewables Consulting Group (RCG) is strengthening its capabilities and service offerings in the growing floating offshore wind sector, including two new hires.
RCG has hired Yiwen Lu (pictured) as a senior associate, bringing with her a track record of floating offshore wind due diligence and project development.
She has been involved in a range of international onshore, offshore and floating wind projects from UK, Europe, Asia Pacific and North America.
The company has also taken on Max Peel as an associate. He has a background including research into the levelised cost of hydrogen and offshore wind cost modelling.
RCG floating offshore wind lead and associate director Dan Kyle-Spearman said: “Floating wind technology has proven itself to be a viable power generation option in a wide range of environments.
“It is a technology with huge potential and is about to boom. Yiwen and Max joining the team will further add strength to our growing offshore wind team.
“RCG is well- positioned to support clients to realise commercial opportunities in the floating wind market.”
RCG said it is also active with several key floating wind initiatives.
The company is collaborating with the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) and Innosea, to explore opportunities for the Scottish government for the floating offshore wind and hydrogen supply chains in Scotland and France.
In addition, the Global Offshore Wind Health and Safety Organisation has tasked RCG and its partner companies Tadek and EMEC, in supporting G+ in assessing the health and safety risks associated with future global commercial floating developments.
