Munro Live podcast, September 2025
Offshore wind through an automotive lens
Aaron walks a lean-design audience through the outlook for offshore wind: the scale of the components, the multidiscipline complexity of floating wind megaprojects, and where serial production thinking from automotive (design simplification, standardization, and innovation in production methods) can cut cost and risk as the industry industrializes. Recorded while Chief Commercial Officer at Principle Power, with Matthew D. Lawrence of Munro & Associates.

Can floating wind unlock deep water?
Deutsche Welle's Planet A channel asks whether floating turbines can open the deep-water coastlines where most of the world's offshore wind resource sits. Aaron contributes the industry perspective on how floating platforms stay stable, what the global potential looks like, and where the real constraints lie: cost, standards, infrastructure, and environmental questions still being answered. A clear eight-minute introduction for anyone new to the sector.

Which technologies will cut the cost of Pacific floating wind?
A technology panel on the deep-water Pacific coast: turbines, floating platforms, cabling, mooring, and anchoring, and which advances show the most promise to drive down cost and raise power density. Aaron, then Chief Commercial Officer at Principle Power, joined Vineyard Offshore, NREL, and Aker Solutions under the moderation of Professor Willett Kempton of the University of Delaware. The link opens at Aaron's first contribution.
