Generating
growth through offshore wind

Sedna Wind Technologies was formed with one purpose in mind – to invest in offshore wind, an industry expected to deliver growth for decades. We acquire or invest in companies providing products or services to the offshore wind industry. And, by supporting our management partners, we help these companies achieve operational excellence.

Why
offshore
wind?

Offshore wind has reached an inflection point.
Consider the following…

  • Offshore wind installations in 2023 achieved 10.8 GW, reflecting a 24% year-on-year increase.*
  • Cumulative global capacity reached 75.2 GW, with projections indicating a threefold increase in annual installations by 2028.*
  • Over the 2024–2033 period, the sector is expected to add 410 GW of new capacity, with exponential growth anticipated in the latter half of the decade.*
  • Commitments made at COP28 to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 highlight the urgency of accelerating offshore wind deployment.*
  • The estimated 5-year CAGR for offshore wind power generation is 25%*

Why
focus on
offshore
wind??

When compared to onshore wind, offshore wind tends to be:
Faster, cooler, heavier, more consistent

These factors combine to make offshore wind more powerful
and hence more efficient.

Offshore wind turbines can be:

  • Larger and taller, allowing for more electricity generation per unit
  • Close to population centers which are often near coastlines
  • Far enough offshore to have limited or no visual impact

These factors combine to enhance the social license of
offshore wind.
