Offshore energy storage is emerging as a critical component in the transition to a more sustainable and resilient energy system. As offshore wind farms and other marine renewable energy sources expand globally, the need for efficient and scalable storage solutions has become increasingly urgent. These storage systems ensure a steady supply of electricity by mitigating the intermittent nature of renewable energy generation, helping to balance supply and demand even when wind or wave conditions fluctuate.

One of the primary drivers behind offshore energy storage is the integration of large-scale offshore wind farms into national grids. These installations often generate excess power during periods of low demand. Without storage, this surplus energy can go to waste. Offshore energy storage systems, such as subsea batteries, compressed air energy storage, and hydrogen production units, capture this excess electricity and release it back into the grid when needed. This not only stabilizes power output but…
