At #RUKGOW24, themed "𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝘼𝙜𝙚," included a key debate about the UK's need for a balanced "𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙠" approach to advance renewable energy infrastructure and whether the pursuit of perfection in floating wind technology is causing us to drift off course. Related to the floating wind discussion, one of our previous webinar dives into the challenges of floating offshore wind projects in British and Irish waters 🇮🇪🇬🇧. We navigate through hurdles like the limited availability of suitable ports for construction activities and demonstrate how simulation supports construction planning strategies. Additionally, we cover the complexities of manufacturing, transporting, and assembling floating foundations and WTGs, and optimizing port usage. 🔗 Watch the webinar here: https://hubs.ly/Q02Dnt_k0 Also related to 𝘐𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘖𝘧 𝘈𝘨𝘦, in our recent Q&A interview with CCO Michael Bjerrum, he reflects on GOW24's theme and the pressure on offshore wind developers: "𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙚𝙫𝙤𝙡𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙮.

🌊🔌 Exciting New Plan to Link 4.5GW of Celtic Sea Floating Wind to UK Grid 🚀 Today marks a significant leap forward for the UK's renewable energy landscape. A new $5.5bn project has been unveiled, aiming to create an electricity 'superhighway' that will connect up to 4.5GW of future Celtic Sea floating offshore wind power to the UK grid. This innovative plan, announced by National Grid ESO, is set to boost certainty for wind developers and accelerate our transition to a greener future. As someone deeply embedded in the executive search for the utility and power sectors, I am thrilled to see such ambitious advancements. Rapid changes and technological innovations like this are precisely why our firm, UPP, thrives on identifying leaders who can navigate and propel these transformations. The establishment of three connections to link the Celtic Sea's floating wind capacity will undeniably require visionary leaders who can steer through the complexities of this colossal project. #RenewableEnergy #FloatingWind #UKGridTransformation

Rob good to see the Dieseko decommissioning techniques were well received. Another example why vibratory hammers are the best all around machines for the offshore industry. Especially the PVE and ICE vibratory hammers. Well done.

Last week team Ossian attended the RenewableUK Global Offshore Wind conference in Manchester. Some of the key takeaways were: 🤝 There needs to be a big commitment from the next government to deliver on industry targets 🔗 The supply chain is enthusiastic and there is appetite for ScotWind projects, but it needs clear visibility and commitment so that it can prepare ⏲️ The grid, uncertainty across long-term contract for difference ambition and port upgrades continue to dominate discussions around blockers for UK projects 📚 There is a growing need for more people to join the fast growing renewables industry Overall, we need to work together to keep this industry moving forward and reach our net zero ambitions. #GOW24 #OssianWindFarm #OffshoreWind

After participating in the Floating Offshore Wind Conference in Aberdeen, a few key words stayed with me #collaboration, #communication, #innovation, #transition . We listened to an opening by FM John Swinney, who ascertained industry of Scottish government’s commitment to policy certainty. He said that as onshore wind was backed in Scotland, now offshore can be assured of the same. As Aberdeen led the charge with hydrogen double-decker buses, now it will lead again supported by the vision for floating offshore wind, which is set to create over 100,000 new jobs by 2050. The Scottish government’s commitment to a robust, dynamic consenting regime will empower industry stakeholders to thrive. While the ambition is high, practical challenges remain. The call for better cooperation, standardisation in turbine production, and addressing the skills crisis is vital. As we navigate rising production costs and ensure effective coordination, collaboration will be key. With a 266 GW pipeline in floating offshore projects world-wide, Scotland is positioning itself in the top 10 of the global offshore markets with a pipeline of up to 42GW, with almost 25GW of being floating wind, potentially deliverable by2035. We are a global leader in renewables. Let’s work together to transform vision into action! 💡🌊 Get in touch with us, if your project would do with trusted technical support. Together we can create a world powered by renewable energy. #FloatingOffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #Scotland #Innovation #Collaboration Pierre WARLOP Stuart McCallum Keith Burns Chris Pendlebury John Crowley Marion Le Doeuff

💧✨ Yesterday, Hege Økland, our Managing Director at Hy2gen Norge and Thor Ketil Hallan, Director of Strategy at Deep Wind Offshore, engaged in an insightful panel dialogue at the ONE OCEAN CONFERENCE. They discussed the potential for combining offshore wind and renewable hydrogen and how this union can help achieve the climate targets. ▶️ By using Norway's expertise in innovation, technology, andproject development from the oil and gas sector, Norway has the potential to take a leading position in the global energy transition. 🤝 Through collaboration and knowledge sharing, offshore wind and renewable hydrogen are developing a new energy value chain, from production to storage. The vision for this partnership is ambitious and has great market potential to make a global impact in providing renewable energy. #RenewableEnergy #OffshoreWind #RenewableHydrogen #Sustainability #Innovation #Collaboration  #hy2gen #green #hydrogen Photo: NCE Maritime CleanTech

The oldest #offshore wind farms are nearing the end of their operational lifetime and very few have already been decommissioned. So our experience is still limited. What have we learned already, how big is the challenge and are we ready for the challenge? At WindEurope #EoLIS2024, we first dived into the topic with two sessions. We started with some practical learnings from Belgium. Initiatives like Ready4Decom and OWiDEx (Offshore Wind Decommissioning Expertise) were put in place to expand existing knowledge and fostering long-term collaborations between research institutions, government agencies, and industry stakeholders. Nicolas Meerts from 3E, talked about the potential for repowering of the Belgian Eastern offshore wind zone. As repowering implies decommissioning of former structures, Rebecca Verhaeghe from POM West-Vlaanderen, presented the Belgian decommissioning plan, stressing the importance of a multistakeholder approach, and Bert Conings from Sirris | Innovation forward provided some decommissioning scenarios for the Belgian wind farms. After that taste from Belgium, we dived deeper into practical aspects - technical and financial - of how to plan for and implement offshore decommissioning, with Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult's Lorna Bennet and contributions from Ozlem Ceyhan, IMDC, who covered the expected trends in costs per MW of decommissioning as we will decommission larger turbines; Rob Eijkens, Dieseko Group, who shared insights on techniques for removing monopiles; and Ellemijn Rog, Heerema Engineering Solutions with some learnings from the oil and gas sector, and the state of technologies that may be used on offshore wind farms. Key take aways: plan plan plan! Start early. And collaborate. 🤝 #offshorewind #decommissioning #sustainability Dominique Tenaerts Rébecca Brulé

EDF Renewables #UK is to start construction on the 102MW Stranoch wind farm in Dumfries and Galloway, #Scotland. Construction of the wind farm, which comprises 20 turbines and is due to become operational in late 2026, has recently started. A proportion of the #wind farm's electricity generation will be bought by major retailer #Tesco, with the clean energy due to power the equivalent of more than 80 average sized supermarkets for a year. Another proportion will be bought by #BAE Systems and provide clean energy to power around 40% of its current UK energy demand, supporting major technology programmes including the production of Type 26 frigates for the Royal Navy in Glasgow.
