COP's Michele Schiavone on why Italy is primed to lead floating offshore wind commercialisation

In this episode, COP’s Michele Schiavone breaks down why Italy is primed for floating offshore wind and what it will take for the country to turn a vast early stage pipeline into real projects. 

The conversation explores the state of Italian offshore wind policy, the delay in national auctions, the progress of landmark projects such as Seven Seas Med, and the wider potential of floating wind across the Mediterranean. 

We look at the routes to market that investors need, the supply chain capabilities already in place, and the realistic outlook for construction by the end of the decade. It is a clear and grounded look at a market that could shape the next era of European offshore wind.

This episode is hosted, produced and edited by Leonard Müller.
