Harold Macmillan was supposedly once asked what the most troubling problem of his time as British Prime Minister was. “Events, my dear boy, events,” was his reply. I thought I had this week’s column nailed well in advance, but offshore is an industry especially susceptible to unexpected and hard to predict “events”. So, we must […]

COLUMN | Where the wind blows, part 2: Shell, Cadeler, HEA Energy, Cyan Renewables, Edda Wind, Norwind and Norside [Offshore Accounts]

In Part One last week, we looked at the paradox of offshore wind, a segment that is growing without profit for many players.

Always verify yourself, especially if the company is headquartered in Monaco and is run by a management team with a past reputation for underperformance in the offshore sector. Who could we be talking about? Imagine a company where the management team paid themselves a US$30 million bonus […]
