Polish Offshore Wind Industry Chamber (PIMEW)’s Post

We are excited to announce our involvement in the Port de Barcelona’s onshore power supply (OPS) initiative, in collaboration with Omexom. ShoreLink is providing a battery-powered, self-propelled Cable Management System (CMS) for RoRo/RoPAX vessels at the Grimaldi Group-owned ferry terminal. This innovative CMS delivers a flexible and mobile solution, capable of efficiently managing various vessels and configurations. Its extensive working range and ease of use mark a significant advancement in shore power connectivity. The project is part of the Port of Barcelona’s onshore power supply (OPS) initiative, which is happening in collaboration with VINCI Energies. This initiative represents the first phase of the Nexigen plan to electrify the port. Being part of this significant project underscores our commitment to advancing sustainability and efficiency in maritime operations. For more information on how our #CMS can improve your operations, connect with us! #ShoreLink #CableManagementSystem #ShorePower #PortOfBarcelona #SustainableMaritime #Innovation

Cable and optic fibre company Nexans has signalled its confidence in the offshore wind industry, pledging to invest €90 million to support growth in the sector. The money will be spent on a new 53m tower that will provide insulation for onshore cables at its plant in Belgium, which in turn will produce 3,000mm2 of 525kV HVDC onshore cables to connect three offshore wind products to the German grid. The three future wind farms – BalWin 3, LanWin 4 and LanWin 2 – in the North Sea will be operated by TenneT, the Dutch transmission system operator that also operates in a large part of Germany, where electricity is destined for. TenneT has contract Nexans for the grid connections with an initial value of €1.7 billion that will allow the company to connect 6GW with its subsea cables to the German grid. BalWin 3 and LanWin 4 are due to be commissioned in 2031. The significantly increased expansion targets for offshore wind energy across Europe and in Germany are leading to a simultaneous increase of demand for capacities of construction companies in the field of HVDC technology, offshore platforms and cable systems. This is causing shortages among manufacturers and resulting in necessary planning changes for the realisation of offshore grid connections. “The ability to produce land cables up to 525kV is a game-changing capability that will enable us to drive the transition forward for years to come,” said Pascal Radue, EVP of Nexans’ Generation and Transmission Business Group. “We are looking forward to completing this critical upgrade in our infrastructure to keep pace with the ever-increasing electricity demand globally.” €90 million may sound like a lot, but it’s a drop in the ocean for Nexans, which reported sales of €6.5 billion in 2023.

Uten båter blir det ingen vind. ...[..] “But we also try to see how the vessel is connected to fit into the broader ecosystem of offshore operations. Through digitalisation and integration with logistics systems and other elements, Norwegian companies aim to maximise efficiency and address overarching challenges more effectively. It's a holistic approach that looks beyond standalone innovations to create comprehensive solutions.” https://lnkd.in/dR7sJ-s7

I was honoured to provide my contribution to the panel on: "Innovations and Challenges in LNG Adoption for Global Transportation" at the Alj's 6th LNG Global Forum in Barcelona today, well managed by Gonzalo Cabrera. Besides the already progressing growth of LNG use for HD ground vehicles and and maritime applications, I highlighted to fact that "the Sky is not a limit" for LNG; as LNG has already replaced Hydrogen for rockets applications (SpaceX's Starship) and aircrafts (Tupolev T-155 in the 1980's) and it is considered as "non-drop-in" sustainable aviation fuel (SAS) by relevant Boeing and Airbus programs https://lnkd.in/d5SaRrY6

How can we harness #digitalisation as a means to co-design and co-implement the just energy transition in Central Europe? Last month, the Interreg Central Europe JETforCE Project held its 4th project meeting in Ptuj (Slovenia) on 12 and 13 June. The JETforCE project helps regions to better involve their citizens digitally. The partnership tests and validates two novel solutions for digital citizen engagement in policy-making and to evaluate technologies through a "just transition lense". #JETforCE #InterregCE #JustEnergyTransition
