Scott is VP of Origination at Xodus with a remit to update and change the company’s business model as it relates to the offshore wind sector. Previously Scott led the growth of the Renewables Division from the UK into the US and APAC, with operational responsibility for all related service lines – as well as his own specific focus on supply chain analysis, due diligence, and techno-economic analysis. During this period, the Xodus team supported 16 GW of winning bids in the ScotWind process, wrote the bidding process for the INTOG leasing round and supported three out of six NY Bight leaseholders with their OREC submissions. He has substantial background in providing technical consultancy to clients of all sizes and across both the onshore and offshore wind markets. His in-depth industry knowledge helps clients identify and make the most of opportunities in renewable energy.
Scott now also sits on the Scottish Offshore Wind Energy Council (SOWEC) as the chair of the Supply Chain and Clusters Working Group, a position which directly advises the Scottish Government at Ministerial Level on how to optimize the industrial opportunity from Scotland’s 32 GW development pipeline.
Scott has a mix of consultancy and developer experience, giving him a good understanding of both the wider industry, as well as project specific elements of renewable energy. Scott is adept at building and maintaining relationships with business and community contacts to gain insight and maximise commercial opportunities. Comfortable communicating with stakeholders at all levels, Scott is experienced in liaising with financial institutions, industry bodies and government officials and ministers.
Speaker agenda
Opportunities in wind
Western Australia is fortunate to have some of the best onshore and offshore wind resources in the world, much of which remains undeveloped. With the industry rapidly evolving and demand for new renewables continuing to grow developers, contractors and investors need to keep pace.
Our panellists will discuss the challenges and opportunities for wind development in WA, including accommodating bigger and bigger turbines, evolving construction techniques, onshore and offshore construction, land access and 3rd party permitting and approvals.
