Are we creating sustainable value from our oceans? How can we do

it? Energy as a sustainable value creation driver @ sea

Ocean Energies can contribute to the development of a blue economy in Europe

provide jobs and spur economic growth. Innovation and technology will drive this new

economy.

EDPR is leading the development of up to

2.4 GW of wind offshore projects with a

UK Offshore Wind Partnership

EDP is partnering with Repsol for the development of Offshore Wind

Projects in the UK

Inch Cape

Moray Firth1.5 GW

0.9 GW

Partnering with Repsol, 1st class company in Energy Sector with strong commitment to wind

offshore capacity development

Sites to be developed in transitional waters (30-60m of depth) , 15-25 km shore distance

Upon getting key consents, construction and operation could begin between 2015 and 2020


6/37

Why Offshore Wind and Why Floating Offshore Wind

Why Offshore Wind?

Higher wind resource and less turbulence

Large ocean areas available Best spots in wind onshore are becoming scarce

Offshore wind, including deep offshore, has the capacity

to deliver high quantities of energy

6

Why Floating Offshore Wind?

Limited spots with shallow waters (mostly in the North

Sea)

Most of the resource is in deep waters

Huge scale ocean areas available Less restrictions for offshore deployments and reduced

visual impacts

Enormous potential around the world: PT, Spain, UK,

France, Norway, Italy, USA, Canada


7/37

Deep offshore wind potential goes in line with the quality of the

resource and the availability of areas to explore

Changes required in control system of the turbine

High Stability Performance

Static Stability - Water Ballast

Dynamic Stability - Heave Plates and active ballast system

- Move latform natural res onse above the wave excitation

Efficiency Closed-loop Active Ballast System

Depth Flexibility (>40m)

Assembly & Installation

Port assembly Reduced risk and cost

No specialized vessels required, conventional tugs

Final remarks

WindFloat Project and deep offshore wind represent a significant industrial

opportunity for Europe - highly skilled labor and value adding activities in traditionally

strong European sectors

The fabrication and assembly were successfully completed. Being able to construct the

unit in Portugal (no offshore experience) indicates that it is possible to adapt naval

36

infrastructures successfully and without major investments

Offshore installation strategy successful. Supply chain breakthrough?

The technical results of the first 6-9 months of operation of the WindFloat are very

promising. Need to evaluate long term performance and impacts

Pre-commercial phase is the next meaningful step to bridge the gap between

demonstration and market
