The second offshore wind declaration area has been declared for the Victorian coastline today. The declared area is reduced in size to 20% of the original proposed area, due mostly to concerns relating to the proposed declared area's location in the Bonney Upwelling and its importance for blue whale foraging, together with concerns about commercial fishing. It will be interesting to see if this affects the number of Feasibility Licence Applications that are submitted for this area, and ultimately how many developers are awarded licences.

In a recent discussion at the Baltic Sea Offshore Wind 2024 Outlook, industry leaders delved into the strides and challenges facing offshore wind energy development in the region. Here you can find the report 👉 https://lnkd.in/eK4VgdfH Here are the key takeaways: 1️⃣ Legislative Framework: Strong legislative support, including the Renewable Energy Directive and EU action plans, drives offshore wind deployment. 2️⃣ Challenges: Inflation, supply chain disruptions, and high interest rates pose obstacles, demanding continuous effort for industry progress. 3️⃣ Supply Chain & Dynamics: Robust supply chains are vital. Country-specific dynamics influence development pace, emphasizing the need for energy security. The discussions underscore both progress made and hurdles yet to be overcome in advancing offshore wind energy in the Baltic Sea region. #RenewableEnergy #OffshoreWind #BalticSea #Sustainability #EnergyTransition

Floating Offshore Wind!! Follow me on LinkedIn: https://lnkd.in/gni_S56D Poised to be the next significant Industrial Revolution!! Without a Ports solution to support GIG scale execution, there is NO floating offshore wind! Without a launching and retreival solution that supports GIG scale delivery, there is NO floating offshore wind! Without a crane to suppprt GIG scale integration, there is no floating offshore wind! From Concept to Decommissioning this comes down to: - Operational safety - Maximizing local content - CO2 reduction - Air quality for port communities - Port water quality - Reduction in CAPEX - Reduction in OPEX - Optimized DEVEX - Less reliance on overseas supply - Less reliance on Carbon Credits - Reduction in LCoE for consumers Bardex have simple pragmatic solutions based on existing scalable technology that supports a very short ROI that could lead to ports making hundreds of millions of dollars at a Gigawatt (GIG) scale while also benefiting developers who could save hundreds of millions. This solution has the potential to significantly reduce the CO2 footprint for the ports and for every floating offshore wind platform installed, impacting the entire life cycle of the wind farm. It also reduces the reliance on Carbon Credits up to the final decommissioning stage, enabling the saved funds across the life cycle to be utilized for lowering LCoE and boosting the local supply chain, thereby creating more high-paying jobs and less reliance on over seas supply.

Globally, the offshore wind industry is booming, with the UK taking the lead, pledging to achieve 50 GW of offshore wind power by 2030. South Korea is also aiming big, as they are working towards generating 14 GW of offshore wind by 2030. In Australia, it was not until recent years that they began to recognise the vast potential of this industry for both electricity generation and new job opportunities. Currently, the only offshore wind target in Australia comes from the state of Victoria, which is targeting to produce 2 GW of offshore wind by 2032 and 9 GW by 2040. In the hope of becoming one of the renewable energy superpowers in the world, Australia is racing to develop its offshore wind industry and talents. Leveraging its massive potential as the next big market for offshore wind developers, it is attracting interest from the likes of Shell, Denmark's Ørsted and Norway's Equinor, especially with the first six offshore wind zones earmarked for future development. These six zones include: - Gippsland - Hunter Valley - Illawarra in New South Wales - Portland in Victoria - Northern Tasmania, Perth; and - Bunbury in Western Australia. With a national target of generating 82% of all electricity production from renewable energy by 2030 and onshore wind power accounting for only 10% of Australia's electricity needs, we are likely to see rapid developments in Australia's offshore wind market to meet the target. When the time comes, Cyan Renewables will be ready to support the industry with well-established expertise and local content to facilitate the country's transition towards a cleaner and greener future.

Offshore wind production has mostly been limited to countries with shallow waters so far. Floating wind could change that. Here's my article for Euronews looking at the push to develop it 👇 https://lnkd.in/eNeb3bTa

Listen to the Volts podcast, “The prospects for offshore wind in California,” by David Roberts, interviewing Adam Stern, Offshore Wind California, and Jocelyn Brown-Saracino, offshore wind lead, US DOE—August 14, 2024. “David Roberts (host): ‘There’s been talk about offshore wind in California for decades, but the last few years have seen a flurry of activity… Virtually all of the state’s big players — the legislature, the California Energy Commission, the state's public utility commission, and the state's grid operator — have put forward planning or goals or funding or some kind of support for offshore wind… To discuss the state of play in both policy and technology, I’m talking to Adam Stern, head of the industry coalition Offshore Wind California, and Jocelyn Brown-Saracino, the offshore wind lead at the US Department of Energy… [T]he California Energy Commission just recently adopted a plan…’ Adam Stern (OWC): ‘[T]he plan was part of legislation that was passed by the legislature in California in 2021. The first deliverable was setting planning goals for offshore wind. And those came in at two to five gigawatts by 2030 and a nation-leading 25 gigawatts by 2045. Then, the state… worked for two years to develop a strategic plan defining basically a roadmap… The plan that came out and was adopted just a few weeks ago, in July of 2024, is probably the most comprehensive floating offshore wind plan in the world. It was worth the wait’… Jocelyn Brown-Saracino (DOE): ‘[T]he floating offshore wind shot is one of a series of DOE's Energy Earthshot initiatives,… that's seeking to advance US leadership in floating offshore wind design, manufacturing, and deployment… it's a really exciting moment for floating offshore wind, because we consider the industry at this moment to really be at an inflection point.’...” Listen to the full podcast (with transcript) below and at this link. https://lnkd.in/gC-iw-yc #offshorewind #floatingwind #cleanenergy #renewables #climate #offshorewindca #pacificoffshorewindsummit

Important initiative! UK is out of market coupling since Brexit. I kind of understand why, but this is unfortunately hurting cross-border trade not only between UK and EU, but indirectly also trade between EU countries as well. After a couple of years following Brexit, we now see that there is no better way to allocate cross-border transmission than Single Day Ahead Coupling. So lets use it to be benefits of consumers in EU and UK. The same also applies to Switzerland. And again, I understand that there are reasons for why the things are the way they are. But similarly with the Brexit issue, lack of efficient and coordinated trade with Switzerland is hurting the EU countries as well! We must extend Flow-Based Market Coupling to Switzerland to the benefits of everyone involved.
