Offshore Wind Conference 2026
De-risking complex offshore wind projects with advanced simulation, digital twins and underwater noise expertise.
Date: 28–29 January 2026
Location: SEC, Glasgow

Why we’re at the Offshore Wind Conference 2026
Scottish Renewables’ Offshore Wind Conference 2026 comes at an important moment for Scotland’s offshore ambitions. As the pipeline of fixed and floating projects grows, so do the expectations around design robustness, environmental performance and long-term reliability.
Xi Engineering Consultants will be attending as delegates to contribute on three areas where we are already active:

Who should meet xi in (location)?
Is it worth 30 minutes of your time?
A short focused conversation is usually most valuable when you have a specific project or responsibility. It’s likely worth meeting if you are:
- You’re dealing with the real engineering risk of floating wind: If you’re developing, owning, or advising on floating offshore wind projects and need to understand fatigue, motion, cables, moorings, underwater noise, or environmental interactions as a coupled system, we help quantify and reduce risk across design, consenting, and operations.
- You need defensible evidence for consent, compliance, and stakeholders – not assumptions: If you’re responsible for consenting, environment, or marine policy and want robust, auditable ways to predict and manage underwater noise, vibration, and operational impacts, we provide measurement-informed modelling that stands up to regulator and insurer scrutiny.
- You’re looking beyond build-out to long-term asset performance and value: If you lead asset strategy, innovation, or portfolio management for a floating wind developer, OEM, or investor, we build digital twins, monitoring systems, and predictive models that support lifetime decisions – from O&M optimisation to life extension and repowering.
If that sounds familiar, we’re happy to talk through real cases, not just concepts.
Topics we are keen to discuss
You can bring any question you like, but there are a few areas where we think Xi can add particular value:
Arrange a meeting at or after the conference
We’re keeping meeting slots focused and practical. You can choose between:
- 30-minute discussion for for environment, consenting and technical leads with a specific site or challenge in mind.
- 45-minute portfolio / pipeline discussion for for those shaping multiple projects or wider programmes.
