Floating offshore wind may still be on the path to full commercialisation, but its strategic importance for Europe’s energy security is already undeniable. This emerging technology will be a critical tool to unlocking vast renewable resources in deeper waters, a tool that France, and especially the Occitanie region, is looking to harness through a series of technologically-advanced pilot projects.

However, technology alone won’t determine success. Building a resilient local value chain, one that delivers economic benefits, creates jobs, and fosters innovation, is equally critical. In this episode of the Energy Transitions podcast, Pamela Largue speaks with Marie-Laure Barois, Co-Founder and Spokesperson of Wind’Occ, and Senior Advisor in Marine Renewable Energies and the Blue Economy. Together, they explore what it takes to turn early-stage momentum into long-term industrial strength, from nurturing talent and advancing innovation to ensuring inclusivity and maintaining Europe’s competitive edge in a rapidly evolving global market.

In this Energy Transitions podcast, Lobna El Gammal and David Cashman of EY talk about how utilities can maximise preparedness for major events, the role digital technologies can play, and why there is no time to waste in doing so.

In this episode you will learn more about:

• What resilience means and why utilities must prepare now;
• Where the greatest resilience risks are within the system;
• What constitutes a major event and how utilities need to prepare for these;
• Case studies demonstrating where utilities got it right or didn’t;
• The role of digitalisation in maximising preparedness;
• How utilities get started on building resilience effectively and strategically;
• How and why to ensure people are as prepared as the systems.
