🌊 Exciting News in Offshore Wind! 🌊 Stiesdal Offshore and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) have just announced a groundbreaking partnership destined to reshape the floating offshore wind sector. This collaboration is not just a strategic move; it's a commitment to innovation and cost efficiency in floating wind technology. The partnership sees CIP's Copenhagen Infrastructure V (CIP V) fund acquiring a minority stake in Stiesdal Offshore. With more than 30 specific initiatives in place to reduce CAPEX, Stiesdal Offshore aims to become a long-term leader in the industry. Their plan? Transform from just designing and developing floating foundations to offering comprehensive services, including engineering and full project support. Floating offshore wind holds immense potential. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), it could increase the global offshore wind resource by tenfold between 2030 and 2040. At LSP, we are thrilled about such advancements, as they align perfectly with our mission to eliminate CO2 emissions and foster a greener future. 🌍 What are your thoughts on the future of floating offshore wind energy? Let's discuss it! #RenewableEnergy #OffshoreWind #Innovation

💥 Big news for the floating offshore wind sector in the UK, as the world’s first dedicated innovation centre for floating offshore wind was opened in Aberdeen. The Floating Wind Innovation Centre (#FLOWIC) will support developers, operators, equipment manufacturers, supply chain companies and innovators with research, test, deployment and validation in relation to offshore wind. It will also allow companies to develop and de-risk many of the #innovative technologies essential to the future success of the sector. With more than 19GW of potential projects in the pipeline, the facility will be of huge value to the sector.

In 1981, when The Rolling Stones sang "If you start me up, if you start me up, I'll never stop", were they personifying the electrical system? Probably not. More likely some cheap innuendo that you can't get away with these days, and frankly was questionable even at the time given they were, by then, already well into middle age. BUT IF THEY WERE singing about the electricity system back in 1981, they would have been correct. Lots of large fossil fuel synchronous generators providing a strong electrical system. Sir Mick was right: once started, it would not stop.  Indeed the UK system has never had a nationwide black out.   But what about a net zero power system in 2030? It will have changed beyond recognition due to increasing levels of renewable generation. The Rolling Stones' once boastful proclamation would begin to sound like nothing more than desperate bravado, which if anyone has seen them in recent years is perhaps already the case. Maybe, once started up, the electrical system could stop? Or maybe, if stopped, it couldn't be started up again?    These questions have haunted me. Which is why I'm absolutely delighted with this announcement, culminating 4.5 years of my professional life bringing together top brains from across the international energy sector - transmission, generation, manufacturers, system operators and academia - to solve a crucial problem for a net zero power system.    The BLADE project will devise and demonstrate how the electrical system can be restarted in case of a black out using offshore wind instead of fossil fuel generation. Or in the words of Sir Mick: how to start it up and never never never stop.   #offshorewind #transmission #renewables #innovation #security #therollingstones

🌊 Ahead of the Floating Offshore Wind Exhibition in Aberdeen next week, our Engineering and Projects Director, Fraser Milne, discusses the UK’s goal of 50 GW of offshore wind by 2030, including 5 GW from floating wind. However, with current delays in approvals and infrastructure, meeting this target requires immediate action. This commentary explores the challenges and potential solutions to scaling the UK's floating offshore wind sector. 📝 Read in full here: https://lnkd.in/dVCsm-ty #FloatingOffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture RenewableUK Scottish Renewables

We are proud to be sponsoring the upcoming session 'Australia - How to Turn an Emerging Offshore Wind Market into an Established Market' at WindEnergy Hamburg. This event brings together key players in the offshore wind industry to discuss the critical drivers for advancing Australia’s wind market. 📅16:00 - 17:00, 24 September 2024 📍Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH Hall B1 Upper Floor Our Co-Founder Naomi Campbell will be joining a panel of esteemed experts including: Michael Hannibal (Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners) Tejjas Parmar (Suzlon Group) Myriam Samba (BlueFloat Energy) Casper Frost Thorhauge (Skyborn Renewables) Moderated by Stewart Mullin, the session will explore the key factors driving the transition from emerging to established offshore wind markets, with a particular focus on how Australia's unique landscape shapes its offshore wind potential. Additionally, the discussion will cover actionable strategies to accelerate this transition and unlock the full potential of offshore wind in Australia. #WindEnergyHamburg #OffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #AustraliaEnergy #Sustainability

MARINEWIND Project. The MARINEWIND project is a European co-funded initiative aimed at identifying bottlenecks and potential opportunities to enhance the role of floating offshore wind technology (FOWT) in delivering innovative solutions for system integration. This project will address key considerations for integrating such a system, including market dynamics, policy and regulatory frameworks, societal impacts, financial aspects, techno-economic optimization, and recommendations for storage and flexibility provision.
