Rovco joins Global Wind Energy Council

Rovco, a company focused on tech-driven offshore wind solutions, has joined the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC).

The British scale-up aims to bring its expertise in the application of AI and automation technologies to the GWEC community. These technologies are said to be proven to help reduce costs and provide efficiencies across the lifecycle stages of offshore wind farms.

This is crucial for the future of offshore wind, particularly markets in earlier stages of deployment and in accelerating nascent technologies like floating offshore wind.

Stewart Mullin, chief industry officer of GWEC, said: “GWEC is delighted to welcome Rovco to our membership. The global wind industry is growing and expanding into new markets throughout this decade. Being able to call on the expertise of Rovco provides valuable insight to support our work driving offshore wind, and floating offshore wind, forward as the foundation of the energy transition. Wind energy can deliver new industry alongside clean and secure energy. We look forward to working with Rovco to ensure offshore wind fulfils its potential in a confident green world.”

Rovco, which has offices in the UK, US, and Europe, joins GWEC at a time of global expansion for the company. By the end of 2025, Rovco aims to have hired around 200 new positions globally, including in the US to support recent agreements with the likes of Ørsted. Several new offices will also be opening across European and Asian markets.

Brian Allen, CEO of Rovco, commented: “We’re delighted to have joined GWEC. It’s a pivotal time for offshore wind and the need for industry collaboration is stronger than ever. Whether working towards capacity targets in established markets like the UK, or accelerating promising markets like Japan and South Korea, AI technologies and automation will have a pivotal role to play. We look forward to working with industry leaders and innovators across global markets in our shared goal of helping wind power reach its full potential.” 

GWEC is a member-based organisation representing the full offshore wind ecosystem. To expand its global influence, GWEC is actively seeking to bring more leading SME players across the supply chain into its membership.

In joining GWEC, Rovco becomes part of a community of more than 1,500 companies across 80 countries, collaborating to create a global policy environment for wind power.
