Mainstream sees Europe’s rapid commercialisation and industrialisation of offshore wind as a major first step towards a global transition. The company has positioned itself as a facilitator of this transition with large scale, cutting edge projects in the UK and Germany.
Policy makers around the world are now seeking to replicate the success of these pioneering markets and reap the energy security, industrial development and carbon reduction benefits associated with a thriving offshore wind industry. Mainstream sees many exciting, strategic opportunities ahead.
Mainstream believes that all development is local and that only by taking a locally focused approach to development and partnerships will successful projects become reality. For this reason the company seeks to partner with companies that complement its experience with a skills base that is both locally resourced and respected.

- Create a robust portfolio of projects that maximises value for shareholders.
