Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind’s Post

#WindPower #OffshoreWindPower #USA #NewJersey #NewYork #AtlanticShoresOffshoreWind #AtlanticShoresSouth #Fugro #VirGeo "Fugro has completed four years of continuous survey operations in New Jersey and New York for US-based offshore wind developer, Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind. Supporting the site assessment of five projects across three lease areas totalling 1000 km2, Fugro worked with Atlantic Shores to pioneer a new data collection and management approach that increased survey efficiency by 30% and contributed to the recent federal approval of Atlantic Shores South, which will provide 2800 MW of clean energy to New Jersey. Traditionally, offshore wind site assessments have required multiple independent campaigns to gather oceanographic, seabed, soil, and habitat data. Fugro streamlined this process by consolidating these efforts into a single, integrated programme aligned with Atlantic Shores’ portfolio strategy. To manage the large volumes of data associated with this approach – upwards of 100 TB – Fugro collaborated with Atlantic Shores to develop Fugro VirGeo®. This cloud-based Geo-data engagement and delivery platform provides internal stakeholders with real-time project information for faster decision making both in the field and office. The platform also facilitated the first digital deliverables to federal regulators, supplementing the thousands of pages of reports required by current permitting standards. This push toward digital deliverables aims to increase transparency, build public trust, and further compress the development timeline through more efficient regulatory reviews, steps critical to achieving the aggressive national goal of deploying 30 GW of offshore wind energy by 2030. ..."

Fugro Completes Four-Year Survey for Atlantic Shores After four years of dedicated work, Fugro has wrapped up an extensive survey program for Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind, marking a major step forward for offshore wind projects in New Jersey and New York. Fugro’s groundbreaking approach combined oceanographic, seabed, soil, and habitat data collection into one seamless program, boosting efficiency by 30%. This innovative strategy has supported the site assessment of five projects across three lease areas, streamlining a process that traditionally required multiple campaigns. Partnering with Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind, Fugro developed a cloud-based platform that revolutionizes how data is managed and shared. This platform allows for real-time project updates and faster decision-making, while also enabling the first-ever digital submissions to federal regulators—truly a game-changer for the industry. As Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind prepares for New Jersey’s fourth offshore wind solicitation, the insights from Fugro’s surveys will be crucial. This collaboration highlights the importance of innovation and efficiency in advancing the offshore wind sector. Empire Energy Partners is proud to be part of an industry that’s driving positive change. Congratulations to Fugro and Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind on this incredible accomplishment! Here’s to a future powered by clean, sustainable energy. #OffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #AtlanticShores #Fugro #Innovation #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #EmpireEnergyOffshore https://lnkd.in/e_3tn9TC

The areas include accelerating research and development of floating offshore wind platforms; exploring innovations for fixed-bottom foundations; improving offshore wildlife protection through new monitoring technologies; expanding the reach of the domestic supply chain; advancing U.S. academic leadership in floating offshore wind; and investigating solutions to protect future infrastructure from lightning. This funding opportunity represents one of DOE’s single largest investments in offshore wind, comprised of $48 million in funding from WETO with $600,000 in funding support from the U.S. Department of the Interior’s (DOI) Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE). Together, successful projects addressing the following topic areas under this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) will speed up the use of wind power off U.S. coasts and contribute to a robust clean energy economy driven by a carbon-free power sector. https://lnkd.in/grwrDd5q

🌊 Developers want to harness the potential of floating offshore wind in many markets, placing significant demands on the supply chain. Commercial-scale floating wind projects are complex, and scaling up implies greater risk. Advocating for an “industry first” while being successful depends on how developers navigate various challenges: new market conditions, project size, new port infrastructure, fabricators and supply chains often with no floating wind experience, new turbines over 15 MW, and choosing the right floating platform technologies for their projects. A blank canvas may impact a project’s viability and the entire industry’s LCoE curve. Principle Power is a global leader in floating wind solutions and holds many “technology firsts.” More importantly, we have the capacity to deliver low-risk technical solutions that ensure the success of floating wind projects, with proven track-record and expertise: 🌐 15-year track record, including 13 years of operational experience with WindFloat® projects withstanding severe weather conditions while achieving excellence power output 📊 Extensive portfolio of successful projects, proving the reliability of Principle Power design tools and state-of-the-art validated tools 👷 Strong capabilities of our engineering team and their experience interfacing with various stakeholders, including Wind Turbine Manufacturers Catch up with Thomas Marty at SEANERGY BY BLUESIGN to discuss how Floating Offshore Wind can “take the Financial Wave” and deliver bankable and insurable projects: 📅 Save the date: June 26, 10:40 AM (CET) 📍 SEANERGY BY BLUESIGN, Exponantes Hall XXL, Nantes, France Speakers on the panel: Christine de Jouëtte (EDF) David Carrascosa (Saitec Offshore Technologies) Felipe Cornago Diufaín (BayWa r.e.

Construction of the ECO Edison, the first American-made service operations vessel (SOV) for the U.S. offshore wind market, yielded more than 600 jobs and drew on a supply chain that spanned 34 states. Delivering the SOV was a major accomplishment, both for the industry and for legacy shipbuilder Edison Chouest Offshore (ECO), which said the project commissioned by Ørsted helped it support new and existing jobs at its Gulf yards and open new offices in New York and Rhode Island. But constructing the ECO Edison was also an example of how a company with the capacity to take on stages of a project supply chain in-house can inject value and reduce risk. It’s a model the offshore wind industry can look to replicate as it seeks to meet the industry’s large demand for vessels, particularly ones that are Jones Act-compliant. We spoke with ECO’s Vice President of Renewables Michael Braid about the company’s decision to take on the project, lessons learned, and what’s next for the shipbuilder as it strengthens its position in the industry. There are big things ahead for ECO. “Watch this space,” Braid said. Read now: https://lnkd.in/gVDQiPfp #OSWatWork #offshorejobs #offshorewind
