Asia Pacific Offshore Wind & Green Hydrogen Summit 2023

Asia Pacific Offshore Wind and Green Hydrogen Summit 2023

Melbourne, Australia 29-31 August

Asia-Pacific region leading the offshore wind revolution

Offshore wind is about to turbo-charge the energy transition, and the Asia-Pacific region is posed to be the driving force behind this new era of clean energy. Australia has a key role in the region’s transition and Melbourne is at the forefront of the revolution. The region has become a byword for ambitious offshore wind targets that are beginning to transform regional and local economies, delivering locally-blown affordable, secure and clean energy.

Achieving the regions ambitious targets brings with it challenges that the industry, policymakers and institutions must work together to overcome. Topics such as avoiding supply-chain bottlenecks, how to drive investment into the industry, reviewing market design and tackling supply-chain bottlenecks can all be addressed with cooperation and collaboration.

The Asia Pacific Offshore Wind & Green Hydrogen Summit provides the perfect forum to develop the innovative and collaborative solutions that will overcome these obstacles and deliver a renewable energy future for the APAC region. That's why GWEC and our event partners are bringing together the region’s best and brightest from government, private sector, and civil society to tackle these challenges head-on.
