World’s First Global Offshore Wind Organization Launches

WORLD FORUM OFFSHORE WIND - WFO - is a newly-founded non-profit association and the world’s first organisation exclusively dedicated to fostering the global growth of offshore wind. It was founded by the nine international companies (DEME NV, EEW Special Pipe Constructions GmbH, E.ON Climate & Renewables GmbH, Green Giraffe BV, innogy SE, Marsh GmbH, Northland Power Inc, Suzlon Energy Limited, and Watson Farley & Williams LLP) representing the entire offshore wind value chain, along with the US Business Network for Offshore Wind, which represents over 200 member businesses in the USA.

Richard Sandford, Director of Offshore Investment & Asset Management, innogy SE: “Realising the potential of offshore wind is crucial to meeting European and global renewable energy targets. With WFO a platform was founded which helps to support the global expansion.”

WFO is registered as a non-profit organisation (e.V.) in Germany, with offices in Hamburg and Singapore.
