Join us for an inspiring discussion that celebrates the incredible women shaping the future of clean energy. Sponsored by OWC and Turley and kindly hosted by Burges Salmon, this ReWiRE event brings together women working across all aspects of the offshore value chain, fostering connections and collaborations.

The offshore renewables sector is driving significant economic and environmental progress in the UK. The Crown Estate’s ongoing Offshore Wind Leasing Round 5 highlights this momentum, with plans to unlock up to 4.5 gigawatts (GW) of new floating wind capacity in the Celtic Sea – enough to power over 4 million homes. This milestone reflects the promising trajectory of the offshore sector and its vital role in shaping the UK’s renewable energy future.

These projects represent more than clean energy – they promise new jobs, economic growth and social value opportunities for coastal communities. However, the offshore renewables sector must reflect the diversity of the society it serves to achieve its full potential.

Despite progress, the industry still urgently needs greater representation, particularly in achieving gender balance. This session will explore how an ambitious and collaborative approach can help unlock the potential of the south west. Together, we’ll discuss practical steps to build a more diverse workforce, with a special focus on increasing opportunities for women. As part of this, we’ll host a dedicated “How I Got Here” session, where women in the industry will share their personal journeys into the offshore sector and provide insight into their roles.

What to expect:

  • An inspiring conversation: Hear directly from women leading the charge in offshore renewables as they share their skills, strategies and stories.

  • Actionable insights: Explore what it takes to attract and empower a diverse workforce, while driving jobs and social value in clean energy.

  • New connections all around: Meet and mingle with like-minded, friendly and supportive women in the industry.
