Although the Utsira Nord project has been delayed to 2025, our strategic partner, Vattenfall, has in late March 2024 participated in two Dutch offshore wind tenders for IJmuiden Ver.🍃 This Dutch offshore wind area consists of two sites, each with a 2 GW capacity. The competition of site Alpha focus on biodiversity criteria, while Beta is focused on system integration.🙂 Such competition criteria are innovative examples of running offshore wind competitions. Vattenfall is also confident to meet the environment and biodiversity standards set for Alpha as well as the system integration criteria set with Beta. With entering the bids, Vattenfall wants to further increase its contribution to the renewable transition of the Dutch energy system and deliver on its goal to work for fossil freedom. Electricity production of both sites combined equals the energy consumption of about 4 million Dutch households, see For more info on the competition in Norwegian, see behind pay wall: https://lnkd.in/dixDn3Ww For more info from Vattenfall's webpages, see: https://lnkd.in/dsZWykub #offshorewind #competitions #fossilfreedom

⚡ Good news for the dutch #energytransition! An additional 4GW of #offshorewind will be build, which represents 14% of total electricity consumption. These developments are part of the roadmap to have 21GW of offshore wind by ~2030, which will represent 75% of consumption. Therefore, we need to make sure windfarms are operating with respect for nature and to efficiently integrate electricity in the dutch energy system, to manage the intermittent profile of #renewables and avoid #gridcongestion. 2GW will be build by SSE Renewables, Pensioenfonds ABP and APG who will invest in measures to protect birds, reduce the disturbance of marine mammals and include artificial reefs to increase biodiversity. Great to see the second ecological windfarm in the world was tendered in NL, next to Ecowende Vattenfall and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners won the right to build the other 2GW. The consortium will demonstrate how to integrate the electricity into the energy system, by investing in a large scale electrolyzer in the Port of Rotterdam, together with a 50MW offshore solar farm, to complement the wind profile. Congratulations to all parties involved who worked hard on these bids! I'm happy to see the industry evolving and that NL is taking a leading role in the build out of Offshore Wind.

Whats happening to drive innovation forward in Floating Offshore Wind? I have posted about stakeholders looking to push forward action in FOW in recent weeks; ✅ Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult - supply chain review - inter-array cable systems ✅ The new FLOW Innovation Centre #flowic in Aberdeen ✅ EMEC: European Marine Energy Centre - white paper call for a National FLOW Test Facility Why all this activity? Well we have a target to hit - 5GW installed FOW in the UK by 2030, and thats part of the bigger target of 50GW of offshore-wind. There are some huge challenges to get the UK, Europe and the ROW match-fit for this, including but not limited to; ▶️ Supply chain ▶️ Port infrastructure ▶️ Standardised modular platforms ▶️ Installation, cable and mooring systems ▶️ O&M planning We've said before that collaboration is key to rapidly drive innovation. Norway has picked up the challenge, with a target of 30GW installed offshore wind by 2040, and is now taking steps to enable that. The Norwegian NOW project aims to bring some big-ticket industry players together to deliver 4 challenges to accelerate this process. With the likes of Vattenfall, Seagust, Equinor, Deep Wind Offshore and EDF and others, they will be pushing innovation forward on; ⏩ Optimising Efficiency - Annual Energy Production via design and O&M ⏩ Sustainability - reuse of sub-structures, new materials, design, recycling ⏩ Installation - drilling techniques in hard rock locations, new designs and materials ⏩ Environmental Impact - noise, biodiversity, microplastics Across a 4 year programme the European Commission will support with €6m. Great to see other countries really getting into the detailed innovation in FOW. Let's hope that the wider EU and UK can share some of these key learnings and developments. Similarly, let's hope the new Gov. gets behind UK FOW and answers the calls made by our ecosystem stakeholders to support our own innovation activities and infrastructure. Do you think the new Gov. has the appetite and strategic investment to get behind the FOW UK sector? Will they recognise the opportunity to regenerate and grow the economy through new net zero sector policy and industry growth. What else do we need in the UK? #floatingoffshorewind #renewableenergy #flowinnovation Image Credit; Principle Power, Kincardine floating wind farm

"We need quality and we need added value, we need innovation and new ideas to be implemented to make sure that future wind farms are healthy projects and help a healthy industry"! This is a strong starting line that it must be read with some attention: 1) quality, added value, innovation, new ideas are all elements that are a must have for any project independently from the industry, 2) healthy projects, let's remember that we are looking at renewable projects where the concept of healthy is, in some part, independent from the technical, logistic aspect of the project and is linked to government regulations that are somehow beyond the developers' control. "We love to think that in the future, we stop building wind farms, but we build nature parks with some turbines in it"; I like this statement of intent and I sincerely hope that there will be some hope for it to happen. After all, the Energy Transition process is happening to offer to our future generations, a world where life, industry and nature can co-exists, even if I think that for this to happen, money and RoI will have to lose some power... #offshorewind #innovation #technology #greenworld #nature
