      <title>Improving subsea power cable reliability in offshore wind</title>
      <description>As offshore wind capacity continues to expand, subsea power cables have become one of the most critical, and vulnerable, components of the sector’s infrastructure. These cables carry electricity from offshore turbines to onshore grids and interconnect individual turbines across wind farms. Despite their importance, cable reliability remains one of the industry’s most persistent operational challenges, argues Dr Chris Minto, Director &amp; Founder, Indeximate.</description>
