🥳 We are delighted that Melanie Froude, Consultant Geomorphologist and Terrain Analyst, will be representing #OWC at SUT ECOSIGG webinar next Wednesday! 🥳 🗓️ 24th July 2024 🕒 12:30 - 13:30 BST This webinar will demonstrate the intricacies of a terrain model generation and their application in different offshore settings. This process, which maps areas of shallow ground and similar geomorphological condition on the seabed, requires careful interpretation of bathymetry, geophysical, geological and geotechnical data to produce an integrated ground model. Melanie, an expert member of our Geo team, will guide you through all aspects of terrain model production and we strongly encourage everyone interested to attend. This webinar is free of charge but booking is essential to ensure that you don't miss out.

The US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM)'s recent designation of the final Wind Energy Areas (WEAs) off the coast of 📍 Oregon, presents great opportunity for local #OffshoreWind development as well as the wider US #RenewableEnergy plans, opening up <2.4 GW in #FloatingOffshoreWind capacity for the state. With auctions anticipated for end of 2024, here are some key challenges we have identified, to prepare for 👇🏼 ⚡ Route-to-market: a major concern is the absence of a secured route-to-market including long-term power off-take contracts with revenue stabilisation mechanisms ⚡ Stakeholder engagement and social acceptance: Coastal communities including fisheries and local tribes have expressed concerns about offshore wind development, necessitating effective stakeholder engagement, addressing social acceptance risk and early-on engagement with local environmental permitting procedures ⚡ Infrastructure challenges: #Port infrastructure in Oregon may not be sufficient to support the value chain of a future offshore wind and especially floating wind market. Significant upgrades will be required 📢 Download our latest #MarketStudies Report: Offshore Wind Market in the State of Oregon - to find out what our recommendations are to preparing for the above 👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/eZFmcejU 📞📧 Discuss your offshore wind plans in Oregon with our team at April's @Oceantic Network's #IPF2024 🌎 👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/eQ9Qrs5u #TheRenewableEnergyConsultants #USOffshoreWind #WindPower #OregonWindPower #FloatingWind #EnergyTransition

📢 Planning your bid for one of this year's upcoming US #OffshoreWind auctions 🌎❓ Find out more and download our exclusive #Geological Desktop Study giving you a deep-dive into ground conditions for 📍 Central Atlantic, 📍 Gulf of Maine and 📍 Oregon 👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/ejT3-ijF What's our study all about ❓👇🏼 A critical element in preparing your bid and in evaluating the feasibility of an #OffshoreWind project is the comprehensive understanding of ground conditions in Wind Energy Areas. Our USA-based #Geoscience team have conducted this in-depth technical study of BOEM Lease Auctions Sites, covering 👇🏼 ✅ Overview seabed conditions ✅ Seabed sediments ✅ Expected soil profiles ✅ Metocean climate ✅ Concluding considerations The study's author, Snr Geotechnical Engineering George Marling, comments 👇🏼 "All OWF sites coming under the microscope this year in the USA differ greatly in terms of their ground conditions, geo risks and general environmental considerations. An in-depth understanding of the geological, seabed and sub-seabed conditions of each site is fundamental to the successful planning of a bid to the offshore wind auctions, and will likely be a key consideration in the feasibility of the proposed development plans." Get in touch with us to find out more and to get your hands on a copy.

Delighted to see the hard work of Ross Holland published and in the news today. While this is work he undertook with colleagues in academia and partner organisations, he is now busy applying his expertise in GIS and remote sensing (now top down, rather than from the ground up) to an array of exciting renewables and restoration projects at OWC.

"Portugal's deep water Atlantic coastline and maritime infrastructure offers strong potential for #FloatingWind deployment. The key challenge for developers is an "undefined regulatory framework and route to market mechanisms," comments our Ana Pirrone, Country Manager for OWC in Spain and Portugal. Great to see Ana's market insights shared in an article this week by @Reuters Events titled "Portugal's Leap into Floating Wind Clouded by Snap Election". Read the article in full here 👉🏼 https://lnkd.in/eF5tb_7G Ana will be co-hosting an aperitivo on stand at the upcoming @Wind Europe event in 📍 Bilbao, Spain, 📅 Wednesday 20tyh March 15:00, with our strategic partners in Portugal @WavEC, to discuss in more detail market entry, compliance and technical requirements for #FloatingWind development in Portugal.
