Global Underwater Hub (GUH) has released new guidelines aimed at improving the monitoring of undersea cables, with the goal of increasing the resilience of critical offshore energy infrastructure. Cable monitoring is key to maintaining the reliability of offshore wind and other subsea systems. Traditional inspection methods are often reactive, time-intensive, and costly, and may fail to detect early-stage faults. Persistent cable failure rates indicate that existing approaches are not adequately addressing the issue.

The global offshore wind sector reached a cumulative installed capacity of 83 GW by the end of 2024, according to the Global Offshore Wind Report published by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC). This follows the addition of 8 GW of new capacity last year, a 26% decline compared to 2023. Offshore wind now accounts for 7.3% of global wind capacity, with the sector maintaining steady long-term momentum despite near-term headwinds.
