How are we going to secure the realisation of all those extra gigawatts of new #offshorewind farms? Next Tuesday we will moderate a vivid discussion on the outcomes of the latest NSEC port study with Leon Lammers, Huygen van Steen and key stakeholders at Offshore Energy 2023. The study not only identifies the status, future requirements and challenges in the development of offshore wind #ports in the #NorthSea countries. But it also recommends actions for multiple stakeholders that could ensure the needed port capacity. Looking forward to discussing discussing the practical implications from various perspectives with - Togier Knutsen (DG Energy at European Commission), Gerda Diniute (European Investment Bank (EIB)), Bert van der Lingen (Netherlands Wind Energy Association (NWEA)), Edwin van de Brug (Van Oord), Peter Geertse (North Sea Port), Emelie de Wagt (Ministerie van Economische Zaken en Klimaat), Huygen van Steen (Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and Leon Lammers (Royal HaskoningDHV). Want to join? Be fast as there are only a few seats left!!! The session 'North Seas Offshore Wind Port Study 2030-2050' is organised by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and is held from 10:30 to 12:00 on the 28th of November in RAI Amsterdam and will be live streamed on Offshore Energy and offshoreWIND.biz. You can register here: https://lnkd.in/eyw_APZ5 Please note that you also have to register for the exhibition itself!   Great to be working together again Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) & Ministerie van Economische Zaken en Klimaat on realising a sustainable future!!!   #offshore #offshoreenergy #sustainability #technology #media #MaritimeMaritime Sisters, Jeannette van Vugt, Madelon van Adrichem, Luuk Hulsman

THE DANUBE COMMISSION AND THE SEANERGY Project ORGANIZED THE DANUBE REGIONAL #WORKSHOP ON ENERGY TRANSITION IN #INLAND #PORTS The workshop took place online and involved more than 40 participants, mostly from administrations of the Danube ports and members of the SEANERGY project consortium, including representatives of DG Move, project team representatives, and port associations. During the meeting, the SEANERGY project team presented the first results of the project and in particular, the overall methodology that will lead to the implementation of the #Clean #Energy Hub Master Plan in 2024.

🎉 Yesterday, we proudly presented the Vattenfall/Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners Zeevonk (IJmuiden Ver Beta) project at the #windday in Vlissingen. 🏆 Also, I shared my ideas around how to continue the NL offshore wind success story. We need to keep using the tender criteria as a powerful instrument to address the challenges we face regarding system integration, ecological impact improvement and sustainability. For IJmuiden Ver Gamma & Nederwiek, please invite the industry to come up with the best proposals - and I am sure we will be amazed and impressed. But, we also need adjustments to keep the NL market attractive. Reducing site size from 2 to 1GW will reduce risk and capital constraints and increase odds to wins. Last but definitely not least, the industry needs flexibility in the construction window, to allow cost-effective and risk-reduced realization of the wind farms.

🌊🌬️ Introducing SEAWORTHY: A Leap into Sustainable Offshore Power! 🌍💡 We're thrilled to announce SEAWORTHY, a commercial-scale project that's set to revolutionize the offshore Power-to-X market. With our pioneering technology, we're blending the forces of wind and waves with hydrogen to deliver clean, dispatchable offshore power. 🔋 Why SEAWORTHY? Our groundbreaking approach is more than just a project; it's a commitment to a sustainable future. We're targeting the energy needs of offshore platforms, off-grid locations, and coastal regions with weak grids, offering a viable alternative to fossil fuels. 🤔 Did You Know? Islands and remote areas heavily rely on fossil fuels for energy. SEAWORTHY's technology aims to change this narrative by providing a sustainable and cost-effective solution. 👥 Join Our Journey! Follow us on LinkedIn to stay updated on SEAWORTHY's progress, innovations, and milestones. Your support and interest mean the world to us. 💬 We'd Love to Hear from You!

Interesting discussion to start the day with at Nordenergi with contributions by Ørsted, WindEurope, Renewables Norway and DG ENER on non-price criteria for offshore wind: e.g. criteria for protecting and supporting biodiversity in when building wind farms. It will be particularly interesting to see how floating offshore will develop in the coming year. While the last 5 years where about setting 2030 and net-zero targets, it will be words like permitting, grid infrastructure and auction designs that will dominate in the next Parliamentary period.

🔌Charging Up the Future as the Swedish authorities are speeding up the process of handling applications: OX2's Triton Wind Farm Gains Green Light with Natura 2000 Permit!⚡ Situated about 50 km west of Bornholm and 23 kilometers south off the Skåne coast, the Triton wind farm boasts a robust installed capacity of up to 1.5 GW. The anticipated annual electricity generation is an impressive 7 TWh, which translates to about half of Skåne's electricity consumption. With the County Administrative Board's recent endorsement, Triton has moved closer to receiving the government's final approval under the Act on Sweden's Exclusive Economic Zone. If given the green light, construction could commence by 2027, with production starting before 2030. With a determined focus on expediting construction, the company has concurrently initiated a grid connection concession application and secured agreements with major suppliers. In light of a three-year construction timeline, Triton holds the potential to deliver electricity before 2030. Triton is part of OX2's trilogy of projects developed alongside Ingka Investments in Sweden. Another project, Galene, on the Swedish west coast, recently garnered government approval. Meanwhile, Aurora, located between Gotland and Öland islands, is in the preparation stages under the Gotland County Administrative Board's supervision. I am following the development and the speeded-up process with great interest, both on a personal level, as I am cheering for all positive changes within renewable energy, and of course, at a professional level, as this project is very well positioned to make use of the infrastructure of the Port of Roenne as a preassembly and installation port, just as it has been for Kriegers Flak, Arcadis Ost, and later this year for Baltic Eagle, all projects further away than Triton. The journey towards renewable energy is not just about power generation; it's a commitment to a greener, more harmonious planet.

Last week, Silvia San Felipe Menéndez and Adrián García Pacios, from the Regulatory-Energy Team, participated together with Fundación Asturiana de la Energía, FAEN and representatives from 8 other European countries in the Workshop on effective management and conservation systems in wind areas, which took place in Jelgava (Latvia) and is part of the #Biowind Project.   This Project, co-financed by the European Union, will run from 2023 to 2027 and aims, among other objectives, to improve the social acceptance of #wind energy in the different territories of the European Union, identify and promote good practices in relation to this technology, as well as to simplify the regulations and authorization procedures related to wind farm projects.   The participation in such a relevant project reflects Ontier's commitment and dedication to the development and deployment of #renewable energies, both in Spain and in the rest of the European Union, in a context of #energy transition such as the one we are currently experiencing.

To address the key dimensions of wind farms and social acceptance, the WENDY project combines expertise from 3 main disciplines: 🙋♀️ #SocialSciences and #humanities 🌿 #Environmental 💡 #TechnoEconomic This makes the WENDY team a multidisciplinary team able to examine a set of different aspects in a holistic perspective.

Interesting Innovations taking place in the offshore wind Industry and SOVs use.

An excellent article in today's WaPo about the transformative shift Norway, California and the world is undertaking to meet our climate commitments and succeed in the green transition. Despite current technical challenges and high (but falling) costs, the long-term benefits of offshore floating wind to secure reliable and affordable energy as well as creating new green jobs are evident. So much impressive innovation and ingenuity in this sector!
