Cognite, HUB Ocean, and Ecowende Partner to Develop the Future of Sustainable Offshore Wind
Cognite, the globally recognized authority in Data and AI for industry, and HUB Ocean, a pioneer in ocean data, have been selected by Dutch offshore wind farm developer Ecowende, to build and operate the Ecology Data Repository (EDR) for a groundbreaking offshore wind farm project. This collaboration aims to establish a new standard for ecological data management and data transparency in the renewable energy sector.
Ecowende is the first offshore wind farm developer to publicly share ecological data on a large scale. The data provided by Ecowende will come from numerous sensors in its offshore installations and stand-alone surveys. These sensors monitor a variety of species and oceanic parameters, both above and below the water, such as bird observations, bat presence, underwater telemetry and acoustic data.
The EDR will play a crucial role in collecting, validating, and sharing this ecological data, filling knowledge gaps and supporting research, informing decision-making, and promoting transparency around offshore wind development.
