London, UK – The Renewables Consulting Group (RCG), a sector specialist advisory firm, today announced the appointment of floating offshore wind specialist Dan Kyle Spearman to lead its global floating offshore wind practice.

As floating offshore wind will be a key renewable energy technology in the energy transition to net zero carbon emissions, RCG has ramped up its advisory and service offerings as a result.

He brings a broad range of technical, operational and commercial expertise.
