RWE & SSE Renewables sign up for Extension to Greater Gabbard

Two of the world’s leading offshore wind developers have joined forces to develop an extension adjacent to the operational 504 megawatt Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm, located more than 20 kilometres off the UK coast in the southern North Sea. SSE Renewables and RWE Renewables, co-owners of the existing wind farm, have established an equal joint venture company and signed an Agreement for Lease with The Crown Estate, managers of the seabed, securing an option to develop an extension project on the site covering a total of 150 km2.

The project has been named North Falls Offshore Wind Farm, after the North Falls sandbank located at the southern tip of the proposed site of the wind farm.

The Agreement for Lease with The Crown Estate has been granted to the joint venture company under an extensions application process launched in 2017. The signing of both the joint venture agreement and the Agreement for Lease means the extension project can now begin its development activity in earnest including comprehensive onshore and offshore surveys and studies to inform the Environmental Assessment.

During the coming three years, work will also include engineering design, stakeholder consultation and community engagement before the Development Consent Order application is submitted to the Planning Inspectorate.

The joint venture company will comprise staff from both organisations and will be led by newly appointed Project Manager Martin Whyte, who comes to the project with more than 11 years’ experience working in the offshore wind sector.

The North Falls Offshore Wind Farm will comprise a number of wind turbines on fixed foundations, plus dedicated offshore and onshore electrical infrastructure. The newly-signed lease agreement is for an additional capacity of up to 504MW, the same as the existing Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm. The final capacity of the project will be determined during the development and consenting process.

RWE to Develop Four Offshore Wind Farm Extensions Projects in UK

RWE Renewables and its project partners have signed with The Crown Estate Agreements for Lease for developing four projects in the United Kingdom to extend the existing offshore wind farms Gwynt y Môr, Galloper, Greater Gabbard and Rampion. The granted seabed leases comprise extension projects with a combined potential installed capacity of around 1.8 Gigawatts, with RWE’s pro rata share amounting to almost 900 megawatts. Furthermore, it was decided to seek to develop the remaining seabed option at the original Zone 6 of the existing Rampion project and combine this with the extension project at this windfarm.

The Gwynt y Môr extension project called Awel y Môr is located off the coast of North Wales in the Irish Sea. Its capacity may be up to 576 MW (RWE share 60%). The Galloper extension called Five Estuaries has a potential capacity of up to 353 MW (RWE share 25%) and the Greater Gabbard extension, renamed North Falls, has an agreement for up to 504 MW (RWE share 50%). Both projects are located in the southern North Sea. The Rampion 2 development project with a potential capacity of up to 1,200 MW (RWE share 50.01%) is located off the coast of Sussex in the English Channel.

All projects are in very early stages. The necessary development and consenting activities will now progress in accordance with current UK Government guidelines which will include comprehensive stakeholder consultation and determining each project’s exact installed capacity. The consenting processes are expected to take three to five years with participation in auctions for a Contract for Difference (CfD) and construction following thereafter. The wind farms could become fully operational towards the end of the decade.

RWE will take the lead on behalf of partners for the development of the Awel y Môr and Five Estuaries offshore wind farms. RWE and SSE Renewables have formed a 50:50 joint venture company to develop the North Falls offshore wind farm together. Rampion 2 is a joint venture between RWE, a Macquarie-led consortium and Enbridge. RWE will manage the project.

Klimaat gered, burger boos

Vorige week opende het grootste windmolenpark op land in Nederland. In de Wieringermeer, in de kop van Noord-Holland, staan nu 82 en straks 99 windmolens. Met een hoogte van 118 meter en een wiektop die tot 177 meter komt zijn ze niet te missen in het vlakke polderlandschap.

Ik vind de ranke masten prachtig en dat we nu minder kolenstroom nodig hebben ook. Maar ik woon niet in de Wieringermeer en heb dus niet dagelijks met de bewegende schaduwen, de zwiepende geluiden en de gevleugelde slachtoffers van de wieken te maken.

De overlast daarvan is aanzienlijk en zorgt, zoals ruimtelijke economen Martijn Dröes en Hans Koster van respectievelijk de Universiteit van Amsterdam en de Vrije Universiteit recent voorrekenden, voor een daling van de waarde van de woningen tot in de wijde omgeving.

Dröes en Koster bekeken alle woningverkopen in Nederland in de buurt van wind- en zonneparken sinds 1985 en lieten zien dat huizen binnen twee kilometer van windmolens zijn gebouwd, zoals die in de Wieringermeer, gemiddeld voor 5% minder verkocht werden dan vergelijkbare woningen elders. Zonneparken leiden gemiddeld tot 2% waardeverlies.

In de Wieringermeer krijgen bewoners daarom een financiële compensatie: 330 directe omwonenden mogen jaarlijks 429.000 euro verdelen. Dat is uiteraard een fractie van de geleden schade. Naast de waardedaling van de woning is er dus overlast. Ook profiteren de omwonenden niet van het park - de gegenereerde stroom gaat naar een datacenter van Microsoft (ook in de Wieringermeer) - en was er geen echte inspraak op de vormgeving van het project.

Het park in de Wieringermeer is geen uitzondering, maar de norm in Nederland. De Noordelijke Rekenkamer concludeerde na bestudering van negen projectdossiers van wind- en zonneparken in Friesland, Groningen en Drenthe, dat de interactie met die omgeving zich meestal beperkt tot het betalen van een planschadevergoeding of een heel beperkte mogelijkheid om financieel te participeren.

Parken aanleggen vergt kennis, een netwerk en financiële armslag die omwonenden vaak niet hebben. Tekenend is dat het grootste park dat met en door de bewoners wordt ontwikkeld (zonnepark Garyp) een vermogen van zes megawatt heeft, terwijl het Wieringermeerpark ruim driehonderd megawatt levert. En het succes van Garyp komt volgens de Rekenkamer mede doordat de voorzitter van de coöperatie oud-bankdirecteur was en voornoemde mogelijkheden wel had.

Goede participatie is lastig te organiseren; overheden en energiebedrijven zijn daarom vaak geneigd het op een akkoordje te gooien, waarbij de omwonenden achter het net vissen. Ze krijgen wel de lasten, maar niet de lusten.

Met de ervaringen in de Wieringermeer is het heel begrijpelijk als mensen zich verzetten tegen verduurzaming en vergroening. Het klimaatakkoord vindt daarom dat meer participatie door omwonenden nodig is. Laten we dat regelen, want het klimaat red je voor, en niet ten koste van de mensen.

Construction Starts on Hywind Tampen Floating Offshore Wind Farm

Prime Minister Erna Solberg and Kværner apprentice Arne Linga started construction of Hywind Tampen, a floating offshore wind farm, at Kværner Stord. The technology project opens up new opportunities for Norwegian industry. Prime Minister Solberg and Linga started the cutting robot on the project's first sheet of steel on Thursday, 1 October. Kværner’s assignment will include building 11 floating concrete hulls for the turbines on Hywind Tampen.

The development of the Hywind Tampen project involves around 250 full-time equivalents for Kværner employees. Kværner's project will also generate around 800 full-time equivalents in ripple effects for suppliers and the public sector, among others. A study conducted by Multiconsult shows that, in total, the Hywind Tampen project could provide 1,550 to 3,000 full-time equivalents in ripple effects for the Norwegian private sector.

Equinor's ambition is for floating offshore wind to be competitive with other forms of energy by 2030.

The Hywind Tampen project will be the first floating offshore wind project to supply renewable power for oil and gas installations. The wind farm will have a total capacity of 88 MW, and is expected to cover about 35 percent of the annual power needs on the five platforms Snorre A and B and Gullfaks A, B and C.

Hywind Tampen will reduce emissions from the Gullfaks and Snorre fields by more than 200,000 tonnes per year, which corresponds to annual emissions from 100,000 private vehicles.

As the operator, Equinor will be responsible for operation and maintenance of the wind farm.

Partners:
The Gullfaks licence: Equinor Energy AS: 51%, Petoro AS: 30%, OMV (Norge) AS: 19%.
The Snorre licence: Equinor Energy AS: 33.3%, Petoro AS: 30%, , Idemitsu Petroleum Norge AS: 9.6%, Wintershall Dea Norge AS: 8.6%, Vår Energi AS: 18.6 %.

Maersk Supply Service & Orsted to Test Offshore Charging Buoy

Supply Service A/S and Orsted, the world leader in offshore wind, have formed a partnership to test an innovative charging buoy that can bring green electricity to offshore wind farm service vessels and potentially to a wide range of maritime vessels. The buoy can be used to charge the smaller battery- or hybrid-electrical vessels and to supply power to larger vessels, enabling them to turn off their engines when laying idle. By substituting fossil-based fuels with green electricity, virtually all emissions are eliminated while the buoy is in use. The proto-type buoy has been developed by Maersk Supply Service while Ørsted is responsible for the buoy's integration with the electrical grid at the offshore wind farm. The charging buoy will be tested in the second half of 2021, where it will supply overnight power to one of Ørsted's service vessels.

Upon technical validation and commercial ramp up, the electrical charging buoy has significant potential, short to medium term, to contribute positively to reduce emissions for the maritime industry. This will happen through displacing tens of thousands of tons of fuel consumed every year in the wider maritime sector by enabling inactive vessels to turn engines off and replace energy consumption and charge batteries with renewable electricity. Within five years of global operation, Maersk Supply Service has the ambition to remove 5.5 million tons of CO2, additionally avoiding particulate matter, NOx, and Sox.

Ørsted intends to make any intellectual property generated in designing the integration of the buoy into the offshore wind asset publicly available to maximise the uptake potential of this carbon reduction innovation across the offshore wind sector.

As large parts of the global maritime fleet are getting ready to receive shore power in ports, timing is right for implementing this clean ocean-tech innovation. The charging buoy is applicable as a mooring point outside ports, in offshore wind farms, and near vicinity to other offshore installations. Additionally, it will further help limit the increasing vessel congestions and remove air pollution in port areas.

For the demonstration phase of the project, Maersk Supply Service has received one of the largest EUDP grants (Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Programme, under the Danish Energy Agency) in 2020 supporting with DKK 22 million to the engineering and demonstration of the power buoy. The Danish Maritime Fund has provided initial support to conceptualise the project.

MHI Vestas Ramps Up Activity at Triton Knoll Pre Assembly Hub

MHI Vestas has moved in to Able Seaton Port in Hartlepool ready to install 90 of its V164-9.5 MW turbines at the Triton Knoll project in Q1 2021. This signals a major ramp up in MHI Vestas’ UK offshore wind activity supporting the leading role of offshore wind in the delivery of the UK’s Net Zero ambitions, while helping drive a green economic recovery from the ongoing COVID pandemic. ASP will serve as the turbine logistics and pre-assembly hub for the project, with components expected to arrive from next month. Turbine tower sections, blades and nacelles will be marshalled and pre-assembled at ASP, before being loaded onto vessels for transport to the wind farm.

Triton Knoll, the 857 MW offshore wind farm, is being built by RWE Renewables in partnership with J-Power and Kansai Electric Power, and is RWE’s most powerful offshore project under construction. The wind farm will be powered by 90 MHI Vestas V164-9.5 MW turbines, which are due to be installed 32km off the Lincolnshire coast beginning in Q1 next year. Each turbine consists of 80m long blades, which are manufactured at MHI Vestas’ facility on the Isle of Wight, and finished at its Fawley plant across the Solent. The Fawley facility is a decommissioned, oil-fired power plant that has been repurposed into a state-of-the-art painting and logistics facility for the 80m-long blades.

Port owner Able UK carried out extensive site preparation works from November last year, to create a site suitable for MHI Vestas to move into. MHI Vestas, in turn, has now begun to prepare the site at ASP site for the impending arrival of turbine components, prioritising UK companies in the delivery of the project. As a result, ASP now hosts technicians on-site from local suppliers, including Global Wind Service, Dawson and Boston Energy, as well as MHI Vestas employees. The main crane and Self-Propelled Modular Transporter to be used at ASP for moving turbine components will be supplied by Weldex, based out of Alfreton, UK.

MHI Vestas will be installing several projects across the UK and Scotland in the coming years, including Triton Knoll, Moray East, Seagreen and Kincardine. These projects will continue to be supplied by MHI Vestas’ blade facility in the Isle of Wight and supported from existing offices in Warrington and London. MHI Vestas currently employs 1,096 people in the UK, all focused on delivering clean offshore wind energy to meet the UK government’s ambition of increasing new offshore wind capacity to 40GW by 2030.

Orsted & Yara to Develop Green Ammonia Project in Netherlands

Leading offshore wind developer Orsted and leading fertilizer company Yara have joined forces in developing a pioneering project aiming at replacing fossil hydrogen with renewable hydrogen in the production of ammonia with the potential to abate more than 100,000 tonnes of CO2 per year, equivalent to taking 50,000 conventional cars off the road. If the required public co-funding is secured and the right regulatory framework is in place, the project could be operational in 2024/2025.

Yara and Orsted share the vision of creating a sustainable future through being first movers and have joined forces to develop a 100 MW wind powered electrolyser plant for renewable hydrogen production, aiming to replace fossil-based hydrogen with renewable hydrogen for ammonia production in Yara's Sluiskil plant, located in the Dutch province of Zeeland. The renewable hydrogen would generate around 75,000 tons of green ammonia per year - approx. 10% of the capacity of one of the ammonia plants in Sluiskil - based on dedicated renewable energy supply from Ørsted's offshore wind farms. Ørsted is about to inaugurate its Borssele 1&2 offshore wind farm, the second biggest in the world, located off the coast of Zeeland close to the Sluiskil plant.

The green ammonia is intended to be used in the production of carbon neutral fertilizer products, decarbonizing the food value chain, and also has potential as a future climate neutral shipping fuel.

Hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources offers a carbon-free alternative to fossil-based hydrogen, but currently comes at a significantly higher cost. Closing this cost gap takes time and will depend on public support to supplement private investments in large-scale renewable hydrogen and ammonia production. Ørsted and Yara will therefore now seek public co-funding for the development and construction of the 100MW electrolyser facility to support the project. Subject to sufficient co-funding and a confirmed business case, a final investment decision to build the new plant could be taken late 2021 or early 2022.
