  1. IFP-project:The regional financial cluster and its importance forthe offshore wind cluster Martin GjelsvikResearch Manager

  2. Overview • The regional financial cluster • The regional financial cluster’s impact on the offshore wind cluster • The regional offshore wind cluster- organic cluster growth- deliberate initiative (Arena NOW) • Opportunities and inertia in developing a regional offshore wind and financial cluster

  3. Capital and loans

  4. Venture and equity capital

  5. The financial cluster • ”Today there is no market for offshore wind” • Capital allocated to offshore wind is marginal • The dominant regional bank renames its ”petro-maritime” department to ”Energy/maritime” • Banks need to build competence- market understanding and market drivers- framework- actors • The banks’ potential is derived from their customers’ priorities

  6. The financial cluster • Public seed money available - Innovation Norway- Enova • Prudent lending, cautious banks • Less risk in oil and gas sector • However: proven technology in offshore wind

  7. Industrial clusters • Cluster initiatives, public support, deliberately planned, membership • Geographically concentrated ecology of firms within an industry, including supporting/related firms and institutions- competition, collaboration, innovation pressure, lower transaction costs, knowledge transfer

  8. The regional offshore wind cluster Park developer Power producer Design anddevelopment Foundations Turbines Installation on sea Net connection Operations and maintenance Effect/wind studies Environmental effects Legal issues Design Productionfixed/floating Rotor, gear boxes,electronics,tower Transport, logistics,foundations, turbines Grid,Cables,substations Remote monitoringtechnical services, vessels and helicopters Suppliers R&D institutions, education, test sites, demo parks, contract regimes, project management, financial support and solutions, customers

  9. The regional offshore wind cluster • Great potential for technology and knowledge transfer from oil and gas • Ambitions and strong beliefs • strong renewable energy sector based on hydro power • global shipping and maritime sector • But: offshore wind is a totally different ballgame: -standards, costs, economies of scale

  10. The regional offshore wind cluster • North Sea prime market • No home market • Lack of demo park • Selection processes in favor of oil and gas- less industrial risk, revenue stream and profitability, established rules of the game

  11. Summary • Offshore wind is an emergent industry with a large potential • Opportunities and positions to take- field developer, EPCI contractors, operations • Financial resources available, but limited dedicated competence and solutions
