  1. NEIGHBOURHOOD PROGRAMME LITHUANIA, POLAND AND KALININGRAD REGION OF RUSSIAN FEDERATION PROJECT PART-FINANCED BY THE EUROPEAN UNION PERSPECTIVES OF OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY DEVELOPMENT IN MARINE AREAS OF LITHUANIA, POLAND AND RUSSIA Perspectives of the offshore wind energy development in Lithuanian EEZ N. Blažauskas, Coastal Research and Planning Institute, KU

  2. Principles of offshore-wind-potential study Demand of renewable energy Wind speed Sea bottom Marine spatial planning Potential Legislation

  3. Demand of renewable energy Following the commitments to the EU, Lithuania has to increase the total amount of energy generated from renewables up to 7% by 2010. To satisfy these obligations, it is foreseen that to that time 200 MW will be installed in WPP. By the end of 2006 total installed WP capacity was 7 MW. Today in Lithuania total installed capacity is almost - 55 MW. 145 MW in 3 years - missing Ignalina NPS produces 1500 MW After 2010 - the deficit of energy production

  4. Average wind speed in 10 m height Wind speed Average wind speed in 100 m height WT – 3.6 MW: The nominal capacity is reached at WS 15-27 m/s – 429 hs/year (4.9%) More than 50% of power achieved when WS – 10-27 m/s – 2387 hs/year (27,2%) The operational WS is 4-27 m/s 7313 hs/year (83%)

  5. Environmental limitations: 0-20 m depths excluded; Technological limitations: 20-40 m depths suitable; Additional capabilities: 40-50 m depths; Sea bottom: bathymetry

  6. Sea bottom: geology Favorable conditions for bottom instalations

  7. Sea bottom: obstacles Wrecks Cables

  8. Sea bottom: obstacles Restricted areas Dumping

  9. Marine spatial planning Navigation Restricted areas Protected areas Natural resources Suitable for WP Suggested for WP

  10. Offshore wind energy potential

  11. Offshore wind energy potential

  12. Marine spatial planning: needs for improvement Restricted areas 363 km2 Additional 689 km2 295 km2 31 km2

  13. Offshore wind energy potential

  14. Marine spatial planning: needs for improvement Shipping routs Width = 4 nm Width = 1 nm

  15. Technical limitations Today – max depths 30 m Tomorrow – max depths 50 m Day after tomorrow – unlimited depths Limited availability of turbines ! The equipment will be given to the best price offering countries

  16. EC Directive 2001/77: Member States (MS) are obliged to reduce the regulatory and legislative framework for authorization procedures, with a view to: Legislation • reducing the regulatory and non-regulatory barriers to the increase in electricity production from renewable energy sources, • streamlining and expediting procedures at the appropriate administrative level, and • ensuring that the rules are objective, transparent and non-discriminatory, and take fully into account the particularities of the various renewable energy source technologies.

  17. NOs: Main limitations for offshore wind energy production: No offshore wind energy development program; No standards for evaluation of environmental and other impacts; No other guiding documents; No stimulation for production of wind electricity above 250 kW; No one-desk policy; No tendering system

  18. YEASs: Favorable wind conditions; Enough place in suitable depths Economically feasible Minimum environmental conflicts 3 scenarios of interconnection models Growing interest by investors

  19. NEIGHBOURHOOD PROGRAMME LITHUANIA, POLAND AND KALININGRAD REGION OF RUSSIAN FEDERATION CONCLUSIONS What are the perspectives of the offshore wind energy development in Lithuanian EEZ? SHORT TERM: 145 MW in 3 years – no perspective. LONG TERM: To compensate the deficit of the energy production after NPS is closed – very perspective.
