Offshore energyinfrastructure: A newsecurity paradigm2The situationAn increasing need forsolutionsA new defence andsecurity paradigmNew expectations foroffshore wind developers3Key challenges from a developer’s viewpoint123An emergent challenge with no obvious precedentNo clear jurisdiction between gov’t departmentsA new threat picture beyond the conventional (state actors)4 No straight -forward solutions4Our approachOffshore wind and defencearen’t opposites but can coexistin a meaningful and positive way.Governments and authoritiesmust take leadership over howto handle these challenges andhave clear lines of jurisdictionand coordination betweendepartments. While we must have a view formarket -specific needs, it couldbecome massively complicatedif there is no internationalstandard. We encourageauthorities to work togetherfor cross -bordersolutions. Offshore wind developers aren’texperts in asset defence andsecurity. Solutions have to befound in close collaboration andwith relevant expert actors inlead roles. Offshore wind and nationaldefence must coexistCoordination and nationalleadershipSolutions should beinternational Developers can’t solvethis alonePotential solutions could be bothexpensive and present aroadblock for the build -out ofoffshore wind. These costs mustbe shared across actors, so wefind solutions while notbogging down. Fairly distributed costsReliable access to green energyis a security and defence enabler.It should never be a question of ifwe can defend offshore assets;but rather a question of how . Energy is security
