  1. Offshore Wind Energy Developments and Future ProspectsNew Opportunities for the Maritime Industry Andreas Wagner Stiftung OFFSHORE-WINDENERGIE (SOW) German Offshore Wind Energy Foundation (GOWEF) Maritime Clusters in Landlocked Countries Prague, 27 April 2009

  2. Overview • Stiftung Offshore Windenergie • Offshore Wind Development in the EU – Case Study Germany • alpha ventus - a challenging test site • Conclusion & Outlook Maritime Clusters in Landlocked Countries Prague, 27 April 2009

  3. 1. Stiftung OFFSHORE-WINDENERGIE • German Offshore Wind Energy Foundation (GOWEF)Created in 2005 (supported by BMU) • Voice of the German offshore wind energy sector • Communication platform for politics, industry, R/D, business and finance • Acquired permits for test site ‚alpha ventus‘ in 2005, lease agreement with DOTI in Dec. 2006 • Mediation and PR activities to overcome obstacles • Promotes public acceptance (e.g. POWER Cluster) • Initiates and contributes to R/D initiatives (e.g. RAVE, WINDSPEED) Maritime Clusters in Landlocked Countries Prague, 27 April 2009

  5. 2. Offshore Wind Development in Europe Ready for taking-off Norway: Today: 0 MW Target:: none, but huge potential in deep waters UK: Today: ~ 600 MW Target: 33 GW (2020) Denmark: Today: ~ 400 MW Target:: none, but sites identfied for 4.6 GW The Netherlands: Today: ~ 250 MW Target:: 6 GW (2020) Belgium: Today: 30 MW Target: none Sweden: Today: ~100 MW Target: none France: Today: none Target: 6 GW Germany: Today: ~10 MW Target: 25 GW (2030) Maritime Clusters in Landlocked Countries Prague, 27 April 2009

  6. 2. Offshore Wind Energy Development in Europe – Growth Potential New EWEA Target of 230 GW Wind by 2020 (600 TWh/yr - equal to 14-18 % of EU electricity demand) Includes 40 GW Offshore Maritime Clusters in Landlocked Countries Prague, 27 April 2009

  7. 2. Offshore Wind Energy Development European Policy Initiatives • Drivers for Change • Concern about security of supply (continuity and cost of O&G supplies) • EU Competitiveness policy (Lisbon process) • Sustainability - EU Energy Climate Change package of 2008, incl. RE Directive) • Communication on Offshore Wind Com(2008)768 final/2 proposed: - National Action Plans - Regional Cooperation - Transnational offshore grids • Communication on a Roadmap for Maritime Spatial Planning (Nov. 08) • EU Coordinator (Mr. Adamowitsch) for Offshore Wind Energy in Northern Europe (Baltic and North Sea) – appointed by Commission Maritime Clusters in Landlocked Countries Prague, 27 April 2009

  8. 2. Offshore Wind Energy Development in Germany – Legal Framework 2.1 First Steps and the Government‘s Offshore Strategy of 2002 1997 - First regulatory Basis for Offshore 1999 - First application for an OWP in the EEA (at BSH) 2000 - German Renewable Energy Act (EEG) introduced a special Feed-in Tariff (FIT) for Offshore Wind 2002 – Offshore Wind Strategy of the German GovernmentStepped approach with ultimate goal of 25-30 GW by 2025/30 with Identification of potentially suitable areas in the EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone)BUT Coastal States are in charge of permitting OWPs in 12-seamile-zone (also grid connection/cables) Maritime Clusters in Landlocked Countries Prague, 27 April 2009

  9. 2. Offshore Wind Energy Development in Germany – Legal Framework 2.2 Implementation and Adjustment Phase (2003-2008) Revision of EEG • Introduction of a differentiated FIT in 2004 (9.1 ct/kWh for at least 12 years, depending on water depth and distance to shore) • Adjustment of FIT in 2008 (13 ct/kWh, plus 2 ct/kWh ‚Early Starter Bonus‘ for projects that will start construction by 2015) Grid Integration • dena I study published in 2005 (work started in 2003) • dena II study started in 2007 (publication expected in 2010) • Infrastrukturplanungsbeschleunigungsgesetzof Dec. 2006 – TSOs obliged to pay for grid connection offshore BUT E.on and Vattenfall announced sale of high voltage grid (2008) Maritime Clusters in Landlocked Countries Prague, 27 April 2009

  10. 2. Offshore Wind Energy Development in Germany - Legal Framework 2.2 Implementation and Adjustment Phase (2003-2008) Permitting • NATURA 2000 areas reported to EU in 2004/5 (1/3 of total EEA, no FIT) • Identification of 3 designated Development Areas for OWPs (2005) • Federal permitting agency BSH established common standards (StUK and StUKplus), 20 OWPs in the EEA already permitted (17 in the North Sea), ~ 8 GW total capacity – Draft proposal for MSP in EEZ (2008) R&D and Innovation • Research platform FINO I (2003) • Increase of R&D budgets for offshore wind (technology and environment) • Creation of Stiftung Offshore Windenergie in 2005 • FINO II (Baltic Sea) commissioned in 2007, FINO III started in 2008 (N. Sea) • Installation of four 5 MW prototypes (onshore and nearshore) by 2008 Maritime Clusters in Landlocked Countries Prague, 27 April 2009

  13. 2. Offshore Wind Energy Development in Germany Present Situation • Strong technology base of German wind turbine manufacturers (5 MW class) BUT most projects far offshore (EEZ, 45-100 km distance to shore) • Proposal for MSP (Maritime Spatial Planning) of 2008; Intense discussion among stakeholders - revised proposal in spring 09 • Test site alpha ventus expected for completion in 2009, BARD I starting construction in 2009 • More commercial OWPs expected to go online in 2010/11 • Effects of global financial/economic downturn – Special Financing Provisions for OWP via German KfW, EIB at EU • 6th National Maritime Conference under patronage of Chancellor Merkel (Rostock, 30-31st Mar 2009) – Separate Workshop on Offshore Wind called for: - solving grid connection issues with TSOs and regulatory authority (BNA) – creation of Offshore Clusters (Plug-in at Sea)- Creation of port infrastructure and closer co-operation with maritime sector- Financial Support via German Recovery Plan- Maritime Spatial Planning, etc. Maritime Clusters in Landlocked Countries Prague, 27 April 2009

  14. 3. Test site ‚alpha ventus‘ • A pioneering and challenging project (‘test site’) • First offshore wind farm in Germany with very special features:- 12 turbines (5 MW each)  60 MW- 60 km to shore, 30 m water depth- 2 WTG manufacturers (Multibrid, REpower)- 2 different foundation concepts (tripod, jacket)- Electricity for 60,000 households (220 GWh/year with 3,700 full load hours) • 65 km offshore cable connection, across Norderney and Wadden Sea to USW Hagermarsch • Owned by Stiftung, operated by DOTI (consortium of E.on, EWE, Vattenfall) • 50 M€ R/D program (RAVE) Image from FINO I webcam 26/04/09 (provided by GL) Maritime Clusters in Landlocked Countries Prague, 27 April 2009

  18. 4. Conclusion 4.1 Outlook for Offshore Wind in Germany • Huge potential in the mid and long run - up to 15 % of German electricity consumption by 2030 (85-100 TWh, 25.000 MW) • Total investment vol of € 75 – 100 bn expected by 2030 (only D) • New growth opportunity for machine building and maritime industries, new jobs (mainly along the coastline) • Germany strong in R/D, turbine technology development (5 MW) BUT • Challenging external conditions (distance to shore, water depth, economics, infrastructure & logistics, technology solutions, O&M, grid connection and integration) • Need for more industrial co-operation (regional clustering) on Logistics/ Infrastructure (e.g. ports, maritime sector in D, UK, NL, N) Co-operation on environmental R/D (D, Dk and S since 2007) • Further European Co-ordination on Spatial Planning/Permitting • Financing???
