Ensuring co-existence of air defence radar systems with offshore wind

Overview

Offshore wind projects must work with aviation stakeholders including with air defence and air traffic control radars in order to gain consent and go ahead. Effectively coordinating the relationship between offshore wind and aviation is critical to building power at the scale and pace required.


To this end, OWIC and the Government have established a joint taskforce to drive collaborative agreements, ensuring coexistence of offshore wind with radar infrastructure now and in the future.


Our joint work with government aims to deliver a strategic mitigation, future-proofing our energy and radar infrastructure together.
