Abstract
The offshore wind sector in particular has taken huge steps in reducing costs. The Catapult is at the heart of this key industry, ensuring that progress continues and is deeply rooted in our regions, often those with the greatest need for jobs and development. ORE Catapult will continue to evolve in support of the renewables industry: convening expertise from other sectors; leveraging the depth of the Catapult network, and delivering targeted technology innovation. In the meantime, this report provides a summary of the strong progress that has been achieved during the past year (2016/17).
