Offshore Wind Turbine Blade Painting Pilot
Defra's OWEC Funded Pilot Programme The latest OWEC project call opened in September 2023, and Defra submitted a successful funding bid, split equally, to pilot two innovative approaches to manage the environmental impacts of offshore wind.
These are turbine blade painting, to reduce bird collisions, and a noise limit to reduce the impact of construction noise on marine species.
The project in this Invitation to Tender (ITT) will focus on turbine blade painting only.
It will consist of a multi-year programme of work to gather evidence to test whether turbine blade painting on offshore wind projects is achievable in protecting vulnerable seabirds.
If successful, turbine blade painting could be part of future OWES.
Project aim This pilot project will trial turbine blade painting to assess whether turbine blade painting is successful in reducing avian collision risk in an offshore wind context.
Project Objectives The turbine blade painting pilot is designed to establish whether turbine blade painting is succ
