ExclusiveEuropeanOffshoreWindInstallationAnalysisHowtoPlanandExecuteSuccessfulEuropeanOffshoreWindProjects

Dear Colleague,

Since the last Offshore Wind Construction, Installation and Commissioning conference (OWCIC) in October, landmark changes have impacted offshore wind installation in Europe

In the past four to five years, several larger, second-generation projects (including the UK’s Round 2), entered the construction phase, delivering a significant increase in operational installed capacity. Statistics point to a rapidly growing offshore industry. The biggest increase in offshore capacity occurred in 2010. European capacity increased by 883MW compared with 582MW added in 2009. The UK contribution to the 2010 increase was 562MW, which included Thanet (300MW), the largest operational wind farm to date.

Europe is unquestionably the epicentre of the market with 2.9 GW of the 3GW total installed wind energy capacity based in Europe and accounting for 88% of 2010 new capacity. Over the next decade it is estimated by EWEA that by 2020, total European offshore installed capacity will be 40GW. The UK’s contribution to that total is estimated at 25GW. The main centre for offshore construction looks set to remain in northern Europe.

Through a combination of the sheer volume of demand for contractor services, coupled with potential raw material price spikes, project managers are facing upward pressure on prices and hitting timely deadlines. It is therefore crucial that owner/operators have a water tight strategy in place to deal with their installation liability. Contractors need to ensure they are positioned to corner off a share of this multi-million pound industry with cost effective, safe service offerings or face being left behind by their counterparts.

Installing offshore wind farms is costly, technically challenging and potentially hazardous both to the workforce and a company’s global image. If costs are to be reduced then careful planning is required and common sense strategies must be put in place. In order to do that some of the following challenges must be faced:

• GroutingtheTransitionPiece• PloughingCableTrenchesat

Depth• WorkingwithHVAC/HVDCCables• EHSOffshore• ProjectPlanning&Management

• SupplyChainManagement• CostReduction• FarshoreTransport&Logistics• WeatherWindows• Workingwith5MW+Turbines

The 3rd Annual Offshore Wind Construction, Installation and Commissioning conference will supply your business with the critical intelligence and tools you need to build a cost effective, time efficient installation strategy. Delivered by the best in the industry, you’ll be able to take away key lessons and real world action points that you can implement to save millions of GBP.

Now in its third year, OWCIC will be bringing together 450 offshore wind installation experts for three days of business critical intelligence, unrivalled networking and stimulating discussion.

With senior level representatives from major & independent operators, lead contractors, specialist service companies and the major European land governing body – can you afford to miss out?

I look forward to seeing you in London in October.All the best,

Tom Evans Head of Sector, Wind Energy Update

Project Managers: What’s Your Exposure? The cost of installation is significant and something that needs to be planned for – and then back-up plans created! Looking at the trends in wind farm project costs below can you work out your exposure? How much will offshore wind installation activity cost you in the next 5 years?

Figure 1 - Trends in wind farm project costs

Source: Carbon Trust/Emerging Energy Research (2009)

The OWCIC conference will equip you with all the planning information and technological tools to tackle your installation liability in the most proactive, cost effective way. Don’t get caught out, start planning now by attending the conference

Contractors: Offshore Wind Installation is on the RiseCAPEX costs for wind farms completed in 2009/10 have edged toward £3m / MW, some 50 -100% above costs of wind farms in the period up to 2006.

Considering there are still 32,200 MW of wind energy to be harnessed from the UK Round 3 zones this translates into a £96.9 million market.
