Offshore Wind California’s Post

With the capacity of floating wind projects in the pipeline expected to be 244GW globally, it's clear that the sector will be a major contribution to the future energy mix. In fact, 10% of this pipeline could be generated by floating wind turbines in Scotland - with 24.5GW from projects planned in the ScotWind and the Innovation and Targeted Oil & Gas (INTOG) leasing rounds. While a scale-up over the next couple of decades will require solutions to multiple challenges in a relatively short time, this also presents many opportunities, and Scotland already has a head start. We're home to the world’s first commercial scale floating wind farm, and the Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult's Floating Wind Innovation Centre (FLOWIC) in Aberdeen (a UK first). A Strategic Investment Model is encouraging investment and the UK Government’s Floating Offshore Wind Manufacturing Investment Scheme (FLOWMIS) is supporting critical infrastructure and ports 🏗⛴️ In its latest article, GlobalData Energy explores the many factors that are coming together as part of a clear strategy to establish Scotland as a leading global destination for floating wind energy 💪🏼 ➡️ https://ow.ly/N4Se50TolSP And if you're attending #ADIPEC this week, you can find out more about floating wind opportunities in Scotland on the Scotland Pavilion in Hall 8, Stand 8450 📍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #ScotlandIsNow #FloatingWind

Dominion Energy has successfully closed a USD 160 million acquisition for the Kitty Hawk North offshore wind lease from Avangrid marking a significant step towards advancing renewable energy in the United States. This acquisition not only enhances Dominion's commitment to expanding its renewable portfolio but also reinforces the essential role offshore wind plays in achieving a sustainable energy future. You can read more about this development here: https://lnkd.in/eXJrCWzp. The Kitty Hawk project exemplifies the growing momentum of the offshore wind sector, demonstrating how strategic investments can pave the way for increased energy production while creating jobs and stimulating local economies. With more players entering the market and state governments backing offshore wind initiatives, there is an undeniable shift towards cleaner energy sources that will benefit everyone involved. As we look to the future, it raises the question: How can industry professionals collaborate more effectively to optimise offshore wind project developments? With experts predicting that offshore wind could provide up to 70% of global electricity needs by 2040, now is the time to innovate and share best practices to seize these opportunities. The time for change is here—let's share our thoughts and experiences and collectively drive the future of offshore wind forward. ⚡🌊 #OffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture

Offshore Update: Equinor, Ørsted Sign New Empire Wind 1, Sunrise Wind Contracts with New York State The weighted average all-in development cost of the two awarded offshore wind projects over the life of the contracts is USD 150.15/MWh (approx. EUR 138/MWh). The 810 MW Empire Wind 1 is already moving towards the construction phase as Equinor received final approval. Ørsted's Sunrise Wind has 924 MW. This value of EUR 138/MWh is higher than EUR 86.45 per MWh, value that the consortium between Belgium-based Elicio and BayWa r.e. has won the AO5 tender in France to develop and operate the country's first floating offshore wind farm, the 250 MW Pennavel project. On the other hand in this fourth solicitation by NYSERDA only european companies have won the tender... US companies are not winning any in their own soil, I mean sea...

It's the final day of UK Wind Energy Week and for today's theme of 'innovation', we're shining a spotlight on our Gwynt Glas floating offshore wind farm project. Gwynt Glas is a joint venture between EDF Renewables UK, ESB and Reventus Power – supported by DP Energy Group's Pembrokeshire based team, for their local knowledge and expertise – which could power up to one million homes with clean energy. What makes Gwynt Glas so innovative is that it will be built using floating offshore wind technology, which means the wind farm can be built in deeper waters than traditional offshore wind farms. We're hugely excited by the potential this technology offers to acclerate the UK's path to net zero and bring investment, jobs and skills into the Celtic Sea region.

The thirteenth Windenergy trend (WEtix) report has just been released, highlighting significant positive shifts in the onshore and offshore European wind markets. Key findings: - The onshore and offshore wind markets in Germany and the EU are viewed more positively than in previous surveys, reflecting a significant improvement in mood. - The expected global average rated output of new offshore turbines by 2030 has increased from 18 MW to 19 MW, with several prototypes rated around 22 MW. However, the report also highlights ongoing challenges for wind energy development, including permitting procedures and slow grid expansion, with these issues being more pronounced in the onshore segment. CAPEX and technology challenges are also significant hurdles, especially in the offshore segment. Taking this opportunity, we are excited to announce that we will be showcasing our comprehensive service portfolio for wind projects at @WindEnergy Hamburg. Our teams at Barlovento Applus+, Enertis Applus+ and Applus+ will be pleased to meet you at our booth A4.115. #WindEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Onshore #Offshore #ApplusRenewables #Sustainability Source: https://lnkd.in/d6Rbbtec
