Edda Wind’s Post

What great week with the K2 Management team at #WindEnergyHamburg 2024! The global offshore wind industry is just buzzing with progress. The UK is making waves in floating wind, with the stand out project being #Scotland's Green Volt (Vårgrønn and Flotation Energy JV) now having secured all planning approvals and a CfD - a fantastic milestone! And let's not forget the exciting Celtic Sea plans for 4.5GW, set to be awarded next year. We're well on our way to smashing the #UK's 5GW floating wind goal by 2030! #Ireland's wind sector is also soaring; RESS4 recently procured more than 2GW of onshore projects and we will see 900MW progressing offshore in 2025 through ORESS2.1! While we've got some hurdles to overcome, like boosting port infrastructure and supply chains for both jurisdictions, the future of offshore wind looks incredibly bright. Here's to powering ahead with clean energy!

The products and expertise of the oil and gas industry will be vital for success of the fast-developing floating offshore wind industry and member company, JDR Cable Systems, recently attended Floating Offshore Wind 2024. Were you at the conference? Delegates were able to chat with JDR’s experts about how their solutions are shaping the future of the offshore energy industry. Chief Strategy and Compliance Officer, James Young, also participated in the panel discussion, ‘Floating Offshore Wind Supply Chain: Float Not Sink.’ #OffshoreEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Renewables #OffshoreWind #FloatingOffshoreWind #Umbilicals

Yesterday, together with my dear colleague Tim Meyerjürgens I had the honor to participate at a high-level event on offshore energy ‘Delivering offshore energy to all’ organized by the Belgian Presidency of the Council 2024 @eu2024be in Bruges. Here relevant offshore stakeholders, representatives from 27 EU national ministries and the European Commission met, addressing existing barriers and identifying opportunities for the development of offshore renewables and the connection to onshore consumption centres. It was an excellent opportunity to be able to share our insights and recommendations for financing, market design and supply chain for offshore grid infrastructure, which were outlined in our latest expert paper 'Unlocking the Potential of the North Seas', a collaboration with eleven TSOs from nine #NorthSea countries. Great that most representatives from those TSOs were also able to join the high-level event on offshore energy 50Hertz Transmission GmbH Amprion GmbH Creos Luxembourg EirGrid Group Elia Energinet Gasunie National Grid RTE Statnett SF Read the paper: https://lnkd.in/eWg6sueT From a personal perspective, I really cherish such events as they bring together the relevant players of the offshore value chain, strengthen the relationship with each other and foster collaboration amongst each other’s. Thanks a lot, Tinne Van der Straeten and your team for organizing this wonderful event and for keeping the momentum for offshore renewable energy and competitiveness in Europe. #offshore #renewablenergy #NorthSea #offshorewind

well done

📣 Funding for a new phase of the SIF BLADE project, which is researching how offshore wind farms provide restoration services to the onshore grid, has been announced! 👏   This will allow offshore wind to offer a vital ancillary service, traditionally provided by fossil fuel-heavy generation, to help maintain the resilience of the network and the decarbonisation of the electricity sector. Building on the positive findings of the first two phases of the project, this new phase aims to resolve the commercial and technical unknowns of bringing these technologies to market. This project combines two world-leading R&D programmes: Ofgem's Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) and the Carbon Trust’s Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA). This will create a powerful consortium, including ScottishPower Networks Transmission, SSEN Transmission , National Grid ESO, University of Strathclyde, TNEI and the Carbon Trust representing the OWA developers: EnBW Energie Baden-Württemberg AG, Equinor, Ørsted, RWE, ScottishPower Renewables, Shell, SSE Renewables, TotalEnergies and Vattenfall, as well as two new developer partners bp and OW Ocean Winds. This project is funded by network users and consumers under the Strategic Innovation Fund, an Ofgem programme managed in partnership with UKRI #OfgemSIF Innovate UK #OffshoreWind #WindFarms #OffshoreWindEnergy Find out more➡️https://lnkd.in/eaSjK3K6

We’re delighted to highlight one of the key supporters of the UK Offshore Wind Supply Chain Spotlight event: the Offshore Wind Industry Council (OWIC). OWIC was established in 2013 as a joint government-industry forum to drive forward the UK’s renewable energy targets. It brings together industry and government to help realise the UK’s Net Zero ambitions. Building on the 2019 Offshore Wind Sector Deal, OWIC formed OWGP as an independent organisation to support and grow the offshore wind supply chain which it continues to fund to this day. Thanks to OWIC’s support and work with offshore wind developers, OWGP has helped create 1550 new offshore wind sector jobs and awarded over 21m of funding to UK companies. Join the Supply Chain Spotlight conference to hear from companies supported by OWGP’s programmes, and network with leaders and supply chain managers across offshore wind. 📣 Secure your ticket now: https://hubs.la/Q02MS10b0 📅 Conference held in London on 10th December, 2024. reNEWS - Renewable Energy News | #spotlightonsupplychain #supplychain #offshorewind #owic #netzero #renewableevents #windpower

ACP’s recent report also outlines USD 65 billion (approximately EUR 60 billion) in investments and 56,000 jobs in the US offshore wind sector by 2030. According to ACP, market analysts forecast that there will be 14 GW of offshore wind capacity deployed by 2030, 30 GW by 2033, and 40 GW online by 2035. There are currently 12 GW of projects with active offtake agreements, including 4 GW under active construction at Vineyard Wind, Revolution Wind, and Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind, said ACP in its 2024 Offshore Wind Market Report.

⭐️NUMBER OF THE WEEK⭐️ 🇪🇺The European Commission approved the acquisition of joint control of EEW Offshore Wind EU by EEW Holding GmbH, both of #Germany, and Sumitomo of #Japan. 🌍In recent years, the #energy market in #Europe has undergone significant change, such as a major growth in the #renewableenergy sector and numerous large-scale #offshorewind projects. Europe’s offshore #windpower development target is expected to rise to 164GW by 2030 and 549GW by 2050 in a generating capacity basis. ➡️More here: https://lnkd.in/dvHspRxp

"Creating an economically sustainable offshore wind market requires a whole of industry approach" It was great to have Venterra Group's Jamie MacDonald contributing to today's panel discussion on "Fixed Bottom Wind Expansion" at the EIC (Energy Industries Council) conference in Aberdeen. Key issues covered included how demand for vessels and components will continue to outstrip supply over the next 10 years, as wind is forecast to supply one third of global electricity by 2050, with 22% coming from fixed bottom offshore wind. Thank you to the EIC for the opportunity and to the other speakers for their insights: 📢 Neil Golding, EIC (Energy Industries Council) 📢 Darren Taylor, Bureau Veritas Group, 📢 Sharanya Kumaramurthy, EIC (Energy Industries Council) #HelpingWindPowerGrow #OffshoreWind #EnergyTransition #EEC24

🔍 What’s in store for the energy sector in the Autumn Budget? Peter Giddings, Chief Engineer for Energy, is looking for insights into the “delivery body” to help drive the UK Offshore Wind Industrial Growth Plan (#IGP) forward. In case you missed it, the IGP lays out a comprehensive roadmap to establish competitive supply chains across key manufacturing and service sectors, securing the UK’s leadership in offshore wind. As a key contributor, Pete is ready to break down the future industries and ambitions the IGP outlines. He’s kicking off a series of insider articles, starting with a guide on ‘how’ the industry will make these plans a reality.
