Offshore Wind: Is it really back on track?

After two years of downturn, the offshore wind market is showing signs of improvement — but the road ahead is far from smooth. New challenges continue to emerge such as rising geopolitical risk, an aging vessel fleet, and an incoming wave of component replacements.

In this webinar, Spinergie experts Maëlig Gaborieau, Senior Offshore Wind Analyst, and Patrick Sanguily, VP Sales, ask: “Is offshore wind really back on track?” They’ll be looking at where the market stands today, our project-level demand view through 2035, and the operational challenges market players must find the answers to.

Using our granular, data-driven approach, we’ll walk through our bottom-fixed and floating demand expectations alongside the impact of heavy-lift vessel undersupply and increased heavy Operations & Maintenance (O&M) requirements.

What you’ll learn

• Where the market stands: we’ll provide a candid read of the state of offshore wind in 2026 including the impact of the Hormuz crisis and what H1 2026 results tells us about underlying developer and supplier health.
• The demand forecast: we’ll share our bottom-fixed project-level view of vessel and component demand through 2035 with a brief look towards the floating sector.
• Heavy-lift supply squeeze: we’ll discuss why heavy-lift vessel supply could become a key constraint, and share what it means for project schedules.
• Rising O&M requirements: we’ll examine how the aging fleet will be impacted by major component replacement needs.
• What’s next: we’ll look to the future by identifying what the offshore wind market will need to grow.
