"The U.S. offshore wind (OSW) market is at an inflection point. Offshore wind can deliver tens of gigawatts (GWs) of clean power to East Coast load within this decade, with approximately 250 MW operational, 5 GW under construction, and over 10 GW total approved for construction as of April 2024." Offshore wind is a semi-baseload electricity source critical to U.S. national and climate security interests. Floating wind, in particular, could decarbonize regions of the planet - especially the Indo-Pacific - that lack viable clean energy alternatives. There's a lot of work to do.

The U.S. Department of Energy (#DOE) today released its latest report in the Pathways to Commercial Liftoff series, describing how the U.S. #offshorewind sector is adapting to challenges and poised for continued progress to create tens of thousands of new, good-paying jobs and expand access to #cleanenergy for millions of #Americans, with a path to deploying over 100 gigawatts (GW) by 2050. The Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Offshore Wind report finds that the sector today is poised for liftoff, enabled by continued efforts to adapt to recent market challenges. The projects that move forward in the next several years will lay the foundation for consistent long-term deployment, #decarbonisation, and economic benefits across the country in support of President Biden’s ambitious goals of achieving a 100% clean power sector by 2035 and a #netzero emissions economy by 2050. “Offshore wind is already powering over 100,000 American homes, and with the Offshore Wind Liftoff Report and new investments, the Biden-Harris Administration is helping deliver on the promise of this technology to rapidly scale over the coming years,” said U.S. Deputy Secretary of Energy David Turk. “The offshore wind sector is making rapid progress even in the face of macroeconomic challenges, poising the industry to create good jobs and supporting a clean, resilient energy system.” To help deliver on the potential of this industry, DOE today announced its intent to fund $48 million in research and development projects for offshore wind technology development, domestic manufacturing, and more—new DOE funding that is part of broader federal resources that the Biden-Harris Administration is deploying to grow the American offshore wind industry. DOE is also announcing its latest steps to support offshore wind transmission, including support for standardization needs and guidance development and a new analysis for the #GulfofMexico. The Pathways to Commercial Liftoff: Offshore Wind Deployment report analyzes market challenges and solutions already underway, finding that the sector is adapting to recent cost pressures and will see lower risk and costs as deployment scales over time. Key takeaways and insights include: The U.S. offshore wind market is at an inflection point. Despite facing macroeconomic challenges, the sector is adapting, and improved risk mitigation is being built into industry planning. State leadership has been and will remain fundamental, as will federal policy, including use of long-standing tools and new resources made available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the #InflationReductionAct. The sector is poised for Liftoff, beginning with the 10–15 GW of projects with a path to final investment decision in the next few years. These projects will lay the foundation for consistent long-term deployment, decarbonisation, and economic benefits across the country. Longer term, offshore wind can deliver over 100 GW of clean power by 2050.

The Energy Transitions Commission (#ETC) – a coalition of leaders from across the #globalenergy landscape – are calling on #governments and industry to work together to rebuild confidence in the offshore wind market and bring costs down. In a new briefing document: ‘Overcoming Turbulence in the Offshore Wind Sector’ the ETC call for co-operation to get #offshorewind back on track, and generation to the levels it needs to be. 2022 and 2023 were difficult times for offshore wind, with the effects of #Covid and Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine creating supply chain bottlenecks and shortages which drove up the cost of steel by 200%, resulting in many projects and contracts being cancelled. The report emphasises that most of these drivers were temporary in nature and offshore wind should not be seen as being in crisis, rather that it is ready to bounce back. In the seven years prior to 2022, costs in #WesternEurope had fallen 60%, while global capacity expanded six-fold, from 12GW to 74GW, producing energy for around 90 million households. The report also points out that #China have made huge cost savings through #technological progress and large-scale production, illustrating that offshore wind can be even cheaper and more competitive in the future. The International Energy Agency (#IEA) have suggested that to achieve a #netzero economy built on clean electricity, annual wind generation needs to grow ten-fold between 2022 and 2050. However, most countries are not on track to install sufficient offshore wind capacity by 2030 to align with this trajectory. The ETC report states that to rectify this, governments and industry must work together to rebuild confidence in offshore wind. Specifically they should: - Set ambitious targets and predefined auction schedules, which ensure large-scale volumes committed and delivered year by year. - Design auctions and government-backed contracts to reduce the risks of non-delivery. Changes should include inflation-indexation to reduce developer risks and greater penalties for withdrawing from contracts to reduce contracts being treated as options. Governments must accept paying somewhat higher prices to remove this optionality. - Streamline planning, permitting and grid connection processes while also reinforcing the grid to reduce waiting times for offshore wind to connect. - Ensure that #windturbine and component production can achieve economies of scale-based cost reductions by encouraging harmonisation of turbine components and sizes. - Address specific supply chain #bottlenecks through, for example, guarantees and subsidies for new installation vessels to carry larger turbines; and balancing the desire to encourage local supply chain content with the need to achieve high production volumes on a multi-country/regional level.
