Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has created CEI, a new company that will focus on developing energy islands globally. The new company is developing a portfolio of ten projects in the North Sea, the Baltic Sea and South East Asia. Energy islands represent a significant advancement in offshore energy, facilitating the extensive scaling necessary for the next wave of offshore wind development worldwide. These hubs integrate proven technologies innovatively and on a much larger scale, promoting the cost-effective construction and integration of offshore wind capacity.

The government has decided to notify to Esa the state aid for the Utsira Nord offshore wind development BEFORE the three 500 MW project areas are awarded to three players. Our Global Head of Renewable Energy, Tormod Ludvik Nilsen, comments: "In practical terms this means the government will seek all necessary clarifications from Esa for giving state aid before development permits are awarded. This is the opposite of the licence award system we have had until today, under which licences would be awarded first following a qualitative competition, and thereafter a competition for state aid would take place. The goverment hopes that the state aid scheme is approved by Esa by the end of 2024 and that licences (incl. state aid) can be awarded i 2025. This will increase predictability for the developers and makes sense. But it will also require the consortia to re-think their strategy for Utsira Nord and most consortiums will need to redraft their cooperation / JV agreements."

Long been the dream of creating an Offshore Distribution Grid at least in one country, Norway. In the past to ensure electrical power to areas that had/have a weak network. Today this dream is closer and closer to become a reality in Europe, but now with the inclusion of offshore power generation to be distributed to onshore. Main obsticle, HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) systems are still in the beggining of their life for offshore enviorment. Like we have seen over and over again, the dream of today will be the reality in future generations, if not in ours. #OffshoreElectricalNetwork #OffshoreWind

🌏 Following on from our recent post from Karolina Skudaitė MSc dissertation on the implications of worldwide materials shortages for projects in the offshore wind industry, we wanted to share a few more insights: -International cooperation: Karolina’s dissertation emphasises the critical role of international cooperation in the offshore wind sector. Collaborative efforts across borders are essential for sharing knowledge and resources, and driving innovation in renewable energy. - Investment in flexible supply chains: The research highlights the importance of investment in developing flexible, global supply chains. Such investment is crucial for adapting to political shifts and ensuring the steady growth of the offshore wind market. - World map of offshore wind market: Accompanying this post is a world map that illustrates the diverse roles different regions play in the offshore wind market. It's a visual representation of how interconnected and globalised the industry is, and how political dynamics in one region can impact the entire market. - Understanding these political intricacies is vital for navigating and succeeding in the offshore wind industry. We're very proud of the work Karolina has done into this vital understanding of materials shortage in the offshore wind industry.

Had the pleasure to hear about this ambitious hydrogen project during PCI meetings. Connecting demand with supply (to be) is always good business. Likely to carry with it derived possibilities for also the local areas. How many pipes does it take for all the value chains to become green? #hydrogen #pci #pipes #gases

Our team is contributing to real change at the 2024 International Conference on Ocean Energy in Melbourne. As Australia aims for a 43% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030, we are supporting these goals with our innovative work in offshore energy, environmental data, and impact assessments. We’ll be sharing insights on a variety of subjects: - Louise Bruce: Designing data infrastructure for the Blue Economy: Harnessing the power of data for Australia’s emerging offshore energy industry - Daniel Machado: Learnings from the site selection process for an offshore floating wind turbine demonstration project in Australia - Louise S and Louise Bruce: Environmental Information Model (EIM) for cumulative impact assessment in Albany marine zone - Louise Bruce will co-chair Integration and Adaption: Assessing Environmental Impacts 2 - Daniel Machado will co-chair Learning from Offshore Wind Developments 2 - Chris S. will co-chair Know How: Operations & Maintenance and Decommissioning - Kai Mun C.: Detailed design of M4 WEC: A Case Study - Dr Thomas Beard: Powering Workboats at Sea with Offshore Energy Connect with our experts and join the conversation. #BlueEconomy #OffshoreWind #Renewables #ICOE2024 Blue Economy CRC Lyn Léger

What impact will offshore wind have on Norway's energy system, if the country meets its massive ambitions in the sector? This is a question our Ocean Grid scientists are trying to answer⤵ Dana Reulein, Ocean Grid PhD candidate at NTNU, is working her algorithmic magic on enormous wind datasets, to allow for their use in an energy model that can help us answer questions about Norway's future energy system.

Norwegian Attitudes Towards Offshore Wind 🌬️ A recent study by the Bergen Offshore Wind Centre reveals significant shifts in public opinion on offshore wind energy. While support remains high, with 68% of Norwegians still in favour, this marks a notable decline from previous years. The data, collected over nearly a decade, highlights the importance of understanding and addressing public concerns to ensure the successful development of offshore wind projects. Key findings: 👉 Support for offshore wind has decreased from 81% in 2014 to 68% in 2023. 👉 Higher education levels and urban residency, particularly in Oslo, correlate with more positive attitudes towards offshore wind. 👉 Continuous monitoring of public opinion is crucial to navigate the complexities of energy policy and development. Understanding public opinion is crucial for future energy projects. #OffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #Norway University of Bergen (UiB)

Last year, I had the opportunity to advise on the strategic vision for the Energy Infrastructure Plan North Sea for the Dutch ministry with Kees van der Leun. Last week, it was published along with a letter to Parliament! 🎉 We looked at the benefits of interconnectors to Norway and the UK, offshore hydrogen storage, and how shortages in the offshore wind supply chain might prevent us from reaching its offshore wind capacity goals on time. 🌊 The letter to Parliament was quickly followed by another on offshore hydrogen production pilots, highlighting their importance in achieving offshore wind targets. 'Demo 1' will have a capacity of 30-50 MW by 2030, and 'Demo 2' will aim for 500 MW by 2033. A huge €1.8 billion in subsidies will be available for these projects from the national climate fund! 💰 The next question, how do we bring that hydrogen to shore?
