Europe’s offshore wind sector has long been the golden child of the energy transition—strategic, scalable, and attracting capital. But recently, even this star performer has hit some headwinds. So where are we now? What forces are shaping the next chapter—and who is in the captain’s chair?

In this piece, we draw on the insights of four seasoned voices from the sector: Matthias Bausenwein, former Senior Vice President Offshore Wind at bp; Prasoon Kumar, independent consultant and former Chief Operating Officer at Reventus Power; Claus Østergaard, business advisor and former Senior Vice President Global Offshore Operational Readiness at Vestas; and Philippe Kavafyan, “Windfluencer” and former CEO at MHI Vestas Offshore Wind and Venterra.

Spoiler: greatness isn’t guaranteed. It takes more than gigawatt targets and press releases. Offshore wind demands big bets, bigger collaboration, and a shared vision that stretches beyond the next auction round. Real leadership means not just building turbines—but building confidence, capability, and capital discipline at scale.

Let’s break it down.
