What could be potential paths to overcome supply chain bottlenecks for an offshore wind build-out in the North Sea? That's exactly what will be discussed at Wind Energy Denmark 2024 on 28 November in Odense. Aegir Insights’ Co-founder and CCO Rikke Winther Nørgaard will be moderating a panel discussion on offshore wind supply chain bottlenecks with focus on the North Sea, where she will give a data-driven perspective on potential bottlenecks combined with an overview of offshore wind projects in pipeline globally leading up to 2030 and beyond. Participants from the supply chain will hereafter share their perspectives. The biggest challenge in the wind industry right now is the limited capacity in the supply chain and an increased risk profile for financing projects. While this is a global trend, it is particularly evident in the North Sea, where many tenders are occurring simultaneously in the UK, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. Reach out to us to meet up at Wind Energy Denmark 2024 over a coffee and get some exclusive insights into Aegir’s intelligence and analysis.

IRENA: ‘Accelerate International Cooperation on Floating Wind to Prevent Development of Silos’ As of 2023, there was around 270MW of floating wind capacity in operation, with the global pipeline for new floating projects standing at 244GW, according to a market outlook report commissioned by the 2023 Japanese G7 Presidency & issued by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). According to the report, meeting the 1.5°C goal requires 494GW of offshore wind capacity on the grids globally by 2030 & 2,465GW by 2050. Despite progress in building new offshore wind farms, there was a total of 63GW of installed capacity in 2022. And just as there are calls to help the global offshore wind industry bring projects to realisation faster, the floating wind industry is seeing recommendations & initiatives to scale up the industry, bring the costs down & roll out floating wind farms more quickly. In the floating offshore wind outlook, issued this July, IRENA outlines several observations with recommended actions to help put floating wind on a fast track. Among the recommendations is for the countries with floating wind to accelerate international cooperation, as floating offshore wind is currently concentrated in certain markets. IRENA says that “it is imperative that, from the start, international cooperation in this field continues to scale up & prevent the development of silos”. To achieve this, G7 members should cooperate with IRENA’s Collaborative Framework to collect & disseminate key trends/learnings from floating offshore wind. The report also states countries should continue to participate in joint research projects within the G7 & other countries. “To drive international co-operation, there is a need to continue developing joint R&D programmes & projects on floating offshore wind. This is already happening in this space, for example with Japan entering partnerships with Denmark & Norway”, the report reads. One of the actions the Agency lists in its recommendations is setting long-term deployment & cost-reduction targets for floating offshore wind, in line with the 2030 Agenda & beyond. The report further also calls for directing more resources & investment towards existing floating wind solutions, in consultation with the industry, to promote economies of scale. IRENA also notes that, while the coupling of floating wind and hydrogen is currently not a priority for the industry, pilot initiatives are demonstrating the potential opportunities so continued innovation & investment in this space should be encouraged. In the report, IRENA listed a total of eleven observations, each accompanied by recommended action points. Our View - exciting times for floating wind ahead. What do you think?

Floating Power Plant Buys Siemens Gamesa Wind Turbine for Demonstrator Project Denmark’s Floating Power Plant has purchased a wind turbine from SIEMENS GAMESA RENEWABLE ENERGY AB for its flagship demonstrator project located off the coast of Gran Canaria. Vidi Energy Group CEO Robert Speht welcomes this news and comments: "Congratulations to Siemens Gamesa and Floating Power Plant for this purchase. The floating technology of the Siemens Gamesa turbine will strengthen the innovative interdisciplinary project - exciting times!" According to the company, the selected wind turbine, a 4.3 MW SWT-DD-120 from Siemens Gamesa, fits Floating Power Plant’s requirements for a well-established technology. The wind turbine generator will play a crucial role in the company’s full-scale demonstrator project, showcasing “an unprecedented” integration of wind power, wave power, and hydrogen storage technologies, said the Danish renewable energy technology developer. “It is precisely what we need for this project. This wind turbine generator aligns with the site requirements, and its direct-drive technology is a perfect fit for our demonstrator platform,” said Laura Voltà Roqueta, senior wind turbine engineer at Floating Power Plant. The company’s demonstrator technology, P-Demo, integrates a 4.3 MW wind turbine generator, a 0.8 MW wave energy converter (WEC) system, and a hydrogen system comprising a 1 MW electrolyzer, 48 MWh of energy storage, and a 1.2 MW fuel cell, according to Floating Power Plant’s website. The full-scale demonstrator project will be deployed at PLOCAN’s test site in the Canary Isles, Spain. The project recently secured a EUR 26 million grant from the EU Innovation Fund.

CEO Robert Speht is at RenewableUK #GlobalOffshoreWind event yesterday and today in #Manchester. We’re having a great time catching up with colleagues, partners and friends - and discussing all things #floatingwind Let us know if you’re there - or if you couldn’t make it this time but want to catch up with the team at Vidi Energy Group #offshorewind #floatingoffshorewind #renewableenergy #RUKGOW24

Happy #GlobalWindDay from all at Vidi Energy Group! Although officially on Saturday 15th, we are celebrating Global Wind Day 2024 today by reflecting on our own industry. We believe that Floating Wind holds immense potential for the future, and being part of its development is incredibly rewarding. As the world looks towards greener energy solutions, more and more countries are exploring offshore wind farms. Floating solutions, which can be deployed in more circumstances than the established fixed-bottom approach, will be increasingly in demand on a commercial scale. Our mission is to replace fixed-based offshore wind turbines with better, more cost-effective and safer floating offshore wind models. We are looking forward to celebrating more at the Global Offshore Wind Event in Manchester tomorrow! #GlobalWindDay #RenewableEnergy #OffshoreWind #FloatingWind #GlobalOffshoreWind #Sustainability #RUKGOW24
