Windar and Polish City Strengthen Ties for New Offshore Tower Facility – Offshore WIND
Posted: May 23, 2024 at 7:54 am
A letter of intent has been signed between the City of Szczecin and Windar Polska, strengthening the companys cooperation for the construction of its new facility in Poland.
The signing of the letter is another important step for the economic development of Szczecin. We want to be actively involved in the process of building a new factory in Szczecin. We declare broad support for Windar, said Micha Przepiera, deputy president of Szczecin.
The new offshore wind turbine tower factory was announced in February 2022, when Windar Renovables said it decided to invest EUR 80 million to build the facility to serve the emerging offshore wind industry in the Baltic Sea.
Two years ago, Windar said the factory would be producing 100 towers per year for offshore wind turbines with an output of between 14 MW and 16 MW.
In a social media post on 16 January, the company said the XXL offshore wind tower manufacturing facility was designed to supportthe new generation turbines that have a single unit capacity of 20 MW.
At the beginning of the year, Windar Renovables received the final approval for its manufacturing facility in Poland as the Spanish firm and Szczecin Port Authority ratified the concession agreement for the port site where the facility will be built.
With the collaboration and contribution of all those involved, we will succeed in ensuring that this project becomes a significant benchmark at European level, said Orlando Alonso, Executive Chairman of Windar Renovables.

MaineDOT Applies for Grant to Build Offshore Wind Port On Sears Isl. – Construction Equipment Guide
Posted: at 7:54 am
Map courtesy of Maine Offshore Wind Initiative
Based on feasibility studies conducted by the Maine Department of Transportation (MDOT), stakeholder input and several environmental studies, Maine is advancing plans for a purpose-built facility in Searsport at Sears Island for floating offshore wind fabrication, staging, assembly, maintenance and deployment.
The Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) announced May 17 that it had applied for $456 million in grant funding from the federal government to help construct the East Coast's first floating offshore wind port on a portion of state-owned Sears Island that is reserved for port development.
"Maine has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help transform our economy, protect our environment, create good-paying jobs and support the generation of clean, affordable, reliable energy for Maine and the region," said Bruce Van Note, MaineDOT's commissioner.
"At the direction of Gov. Janet Mills, we will work collaboratively across the administration to bring every federal dollar available to Maine to help us seize this opportunity for our people, our environment and our future."
The application for funding comes after Mills said last winter that the state-owned portion of Sears Island is Maine's preferred site for a port facility.
Sears Island encompasses 941 acres in Penobscot Bay directly off the coast from the town of Searsport.
In 2009, the island was, by agreement, divided into two parcels: approximately 601 acres, or two thirds of the island, was placed in a permanent conservation easement held by the Maine Coast Heritage Trust; the remaining one third, or approximately 330 acres, was reserved by MaineDOT for future development.
The state concluded that the Sears Island parcel is the most feasible port development site in terms of location, logistics, cost and environmental impact based on input from port and offshore wind stakeholders, including the University of Maine, and on technical and engineering analyses.
MaineDOT submitted the request for Multimodal Project Discretionary Grant funding to the U.S. Department of Transportation earlier in May for the project, which is identified in the grant application as the Dirigo Atlantic Floating Offshore Wind Port Project.
Maine officials hope that the port project will establish the state's place in the growing offshore wind industry making it a hub for job creation and economic development and help achieve renewable energy goals established by both the Biden Administration and the Maine Legislature.
The initiative has been welcomed by a strong and diverse coalition of environmental, labor and economic organizations, according to MaineDOT.
At the end of April, the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) announced its proposal for the first public auctions of wind energy areas in the Gulf of Maine, including eight lease areas totaling nearly 1 million acres with the potential to generate approximately 15 gigawatts of clean, renewable energy enough to power more than 5 million homes.
In selecting these areas, BOEM heeded the calls of the Mills Administration and the state's Congressional delegation to prohibit offshore wind development in vital Maine fishing grounds.
Currently, there are no other ports being considered on the East Coast that can accommodate all aspects of floating offshore wind construction/deployment and have easy access to wind energy areas.
The selection of a port site reflects a priority of the Maine Offshore Wind Roadmap, a stakeholder-driven comprehensive plan that offers detailed strategies for the New England state to realize economic, energy and climate benefits from offshore wind, in conjunction with communities, fisheries and wildlife on the Gulf of Maine.
Several factors favor the state's selection of the Sears Island site for an offshore wind port:
MaineDOT's grant application also includes support for construction of a semi-submersible barge. A study from 2021 found that a heavy-lift barge is required to accommodate the launching of foundations of floating offshore wind turbines in the Gulf of Maine. As proposed, this barge would be the first U.S.-flagged and compliant vessel purpose-built for the floating offshore wind industry.
The Sears Island port project is subject to extensive and independent state and federal permitting processes, including assessments of environmental impacts and alternative sites.
MaineDOT, on behalf of the state, intends to apply for permits later in 2024, which also will include additional opportunities for stakeholder and public input on the project.
A decision on the grant application is expected sometime this year, according to the state transportation agency.
If funding is awarded, the lead federal agency on the Sears Island project will initiate an environmental review in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. This process will inform and run parallel with permitting processes of the Maine Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

US Competition Selects Finalists in Floating Offshore Wind Technologies – The Maritime Executive
Posted: at 7:54 am
The U.S. Department of Energy selected the finalists in its ongoing competition to promote the development and commercialization of technologies for floating offshore wind energy. It is part of a broader government initiative designed to accelerate floating offshore wind installations.
The government believes that floating offshore wind has the potential to provide massive amounts of renewable energy but to achieve that new technologies and manufacturing will be required to make the manufacturing and installation of floating turbines more economical and efficient. U.S. studies suggest that floating turbines could produce 2.8 terawatts of electricity in the United States alone, which would be more than double current U.S. electricity consumption. About two-thirds of the U.S.s offshore wind power potential is in waters that are more practical and cost-effective for floating versus fixed-bottom turbines. The Biden administration set a goal of deploying 15 gigawatts of floating offshore wind capacity by 2035.
Floating offshore wind structures may be one of the biggest challenges in the clean energy transition. Exports highlight that the structures could be the largest man-made structures ever built. They will have to be able to float and maintain their operations in high-wind areas of the ocean that are too deep for todays fixed-bottom offshore wind turbines.
The FLOWIN (American-Made FLoating Offshore Wind ReadINess) competition was launched to bring together the design, manufacture, supply chain, and transportation components required to deploy floating wind turbines. It is a three-phase competition with nine Phase One winners announced in March 2023.
In the just completed Phase Two those companies were challenged to adapt their designs for production. They were challenged to develop plans for mass production, assembly, and deployment. They were also required to submit a cost estimate and production throughput analysis. The competition is being administered by the National Renewable Energy Laborites (NREL). Each of the five Phase Two winners was awarded $450,000 in cash and $100,000 in credit for technology support at a Department of Energy national laboratory. The full FLOWIN competition has a total cash pool of $5.85 million, plus up to $1.175 million in vouchers for technical support from DOE national laboratories.
PelaStar, Glostens lightweight tension-leg platform technology, was one of the winners of Phase Two. The PelaStar partnership, which includes Everett Floating Structures, FibreMax, Avient-Dyneema, GMC Limited, Triton Anchor, Havfram, Foss Offshore Wind, Geodis, TRC, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, presented an aggressive deployment plan. They proposed an approach to assemble and install one 15MW floating wind turbine every week starting in the early 2030s.
Other finalists include FloatHOMEs triangular platform, WindFloat. Developed with supporters including Principle Power and Aker Solutions, it is its fourth generation with a design that provides deep-water stability with features including a damping system to absorb wave excitation movement.
Technip Energies INO15 design is a semisubmersible, three-column floating platform. This design can be assembled at ports at a low cost and is robust enough to withstand harsh operating environments. The Tetra Triple-One floating platform uses a building-block arrangement, which involves fully producing the parts needed in an industrialized manufacturing environment and then transporting them to the assembly site. This makes portside construction possible for a range of platform configurations, turbine sizes, and site conditions.
Finally, the concept from WHEEL U.S. incorporates tanks for buoyancy and balance, and can temporarily act as a barge platform, allowing it to be assembled with the wind turbine near shore and towed to sea.
These teams will now move on to the final prize phase, during which they will complete location-specific implementation pathways for domestic manufacture and deployment of their floating offshore wind energy technologies. Up to three winners from Phase Three will each receive a $900,000 cash prize.
This is also part of the broader Biden Administration interdepartmental effort involving Energy (DOE), Interior, Commerce, and Transportation to drive U.S. leadership in the design, deployment, and manufacturing of floating wind technologies. Since the initiative's launch in September 2022, the U.S. has dedicated over $950 million in planning, leasing actions, research, development, demonstration, deployment, and more in an effort to realize the full potential of this renewable power source.
About two-thirds of the country's offshore wind potential is in waters that are deep enough to make floating offshore wind turbines more practical and cost-effective than fixed-bottom turbines. Efforts have focused on floating turbine designs, advances in planning for the transmission of power from floating offshore wind projects, and investments into the first offshore wind terminal on the Pacific Coast.
Last month, DOE announced its intent to issue $20 million in funding for projects that improve floating offshore wind systems through refinement and innovation in floating platform design, manufacturing, deployment, and integrated turbine/platform research. The funding opportunity will also offer $3.5 million for the establishment of a floating offshore wind Center of Excellence.
The first floating offshore wind installations in the United States are expected to include the leases auctioned in 2023 off California. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management also recently proposed ten new lease areas, two in Oregon and eight in the Gulf of Maine, which are likely to all be dependent on floating turbines.

Jailton Almeida and Alexander Romanov take one another at the upcoming UFC 302. These two guys desperately need a win here because of the future in the division.Right now,they are on the verge of the elite echelon among the heavyweights, and success in this one is an absolute must.
Almeida had a very dominant first round against Curtis Blaydesin his previous appearances, outwrestling one of the bestheavyweight guysin this area.However, as soon as the second sequence started, he received a KO, thus nullifying all he had previously done.
He has 20 victories and three defeats, submitting his rivals on 12 occasions.Only two ofallhis battles haveseenthe distance, and the Brazilian usually takes care ofthebusiness much earlier. Hehaswins against Shamil Aburakhimov, Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Derrick Lewis prior to the loss to Blaydes.
Romanov is ahugetalent, but his approach and attitude arent promisingor at least they werent promising.King Kong,as the fans call him, has terrible cardio, which is why he has stagnated recently.After 16 consecutive victories, hewas defeatedby Marcin Tybura via majority decision and KOd by Alexander Volkov.
He would bounce back with adecisiontriumph against Blagoy Ivanov, but it still seemsthatheisnt reachinghis full potential.Just look at his bodyandeverything will be clear.Thats why he failed to beatthefirst two big-time rivalsin the UFC.
Overalllooking, Almeida is a better fighter than his rival, and he can outperform him in everysingleaspect of the battle.His punches areharderand faster, he is very skilled on the ground, and we wont even talk about his cardio compared to Romanovs.

Guyanas economy surges on offshore success in prolific Stabroek block, EIA reports – EnerCom Inc.
Posted: at 7:54 am
World Oil
(WO) According to the U.S. Energy Information Administrations latest report, Guyana has significantly boosted its crude oil production since it began in 2019, reaching 645,000 bpd by early 2024, all from its prolific offshore region, the Stabroek block.
From 2020 to 2023, Guyanas crude oil production grew by an average of 98,000 bpd annually, making it the third-fastest growing non-OPEC producer. This surge has driven substantial economic growth, with a 62.3% GDP increase in 2022, the highest globally, according to the IMF.
Guyanas recoverable oil and natural gas resources are estimated at over 11 Bboe, primarily offshore in the Guyana-Suriname basin. ExxonMobils 2015 discovery in the Stabroek block initiated extensive exploration, resulting in over 30 additional finds by ExxonMobil, Hess, and CNOOC. Production is managed via three FPSO vessels:Liza Destiny, Liza Unity, andProsperity, with plans to bring natural gas onshore for processing.
Future production capacity is projected to reach 1.3 MMbpd by the end of 2027, with the development of the Yellowtail, Uaru, and Whiptail offshore projects. This would position Guyana as the second-largest crude oil producer in Central and South America, behind Brazil.
However, the corporate partnership in the Stabroek block faces potential changes due to Chevrons acquisition of Hess and pending arbitration over preemption rights by ExxonMobil and CNOOC.
Additionally, exploration activities could be impacted by Venezuelas territorial claims over Guyanas Essequibo region, although the ICJ has instructed Venezuela to maintain the status quo while the case is ongoing.

Denmark Launches Massive Offshore Wind Auction | Offshore Wind – Offshore WIND
Posted: April 22, 2024 at 8:23 pm
Denmark has opened a new offshore wind tender, the countrys largest ever, offering a minimum of 6 GW of new capacity spread over six wind farms, with the overplanting option allowing for 10 GW or more of new capacity to be added.
The Danish Energy Agency published the tender for the wind farms located in the North Sea I, Kattegat, Kriegers Flak II, and Hessel areas. The tenders follow the political agreement on tender frameworks from the spring of 2023.
The offshore wind farms must deliver at least 6 GW, and as a new element, there will be freedom to establish as much offshore wind as possible on the tendered areas, with the exemption of Hessel with a maximum capacity of 1.2 GW.
If the market utilizes this freedom to optimize the usage of the areas, it could result in the construction of 10 GW offshore wind or more, the agency said.
The power produced by the new wind farms will be used not only for Danish consumption, but also for export to the neighboring countries and for green hydrogen production. This plan is in line with the political agreement made in the beginning of April on the financial framework for hydrogen infrastructure.
Finally, we are able to publish the biggest offshore wind tender in Danish history. With hundreds of wind turbines, we are insuring ourselves against Putins black gas, and as of today Denmark is one large step closer to becoming Europes green power house. When the wind turbines are operating, we can cover all of Denmarks power consumption with green electricity and we can produce hydrogen and green fuels for ships and planes. It is projects of this scale that can make a big, green difference for the climate and our security. Not just for Denmark, but for all of Europe, said Lars Aagaard, Denmarks Minister for Climate, Energy, and Utilities.
The projects tendered in this round will be built without state subsidies and with a yearly concession payment. This means, that the bidders will participate in the tenders by bidding a yearly concession payment to the Danish state across a 30-year period, for the right to use the seabed. The concession payment is combined with the Danish state co-owning each of the tendered offshore wind farms with a minority ownership of 20 percent.
Now it is up to the market to take part in Denmarks next big wind adventure. The next chapter will thus be written and carried out by the market it is the market that must bring these tenders across the finish line, said Minister Aagaard.
An offshore wind farm with 1 GW capacity is expected to require capital investments of around DKK 16 billion (around EUR 2.14 billion), and, according to calculations from market actors from 2020, around 9,500 workers.
The minimum capacity of all the offshore wind farms, of a total of 6 GW, has to be commissioned before the end of 2030.
The tender also includes a number of requirements with regards to sustainability and social responsibility, including the obligatory use of recyclable wind turbine blades, unless a market analysis from the Danish Energy Agency deems that the requirement will prevent commissioning of one or more of the 6 GW before the end of 2030. If this is the case, it will instead be required that the blades are reused for other purposes at the time of decommissioning.
The developers will also have to monitor the offshore wind farms effect on nature and the environment. Two wind farms, one in the North Sea and one in Kattegat in internal Danish waters, will require a so-called nature inclusive design to provide a positive impact on the marine environment and biodiversity.
Denmarks operating offshore wind farms currently have a capacity of 2.7 GW.

rsted Buys Sunrise Wind Stake from Eversource – Offshore WIND
Posted: at 8:23 pm
US utility Eversource Energy has finalized definitive documents regarding its previously announced agreement to sell its 50 per cent ownership stake in the 924 MW Sunrise Wind offshore wind project to rsted.
Eversource will remain contracted, under a separate construction management agreement, to lead the onshore construction of the Sunrise Wind project following the closing.
In this role, Eversource will be a service provider to rsted and will not have any ongoing ownership interest in the project, nor any ongoing financial obligations associated with project costs.
Were proud of the work we have already accomplished for Sunrise Wind and look forward to assisting rsted and the State of New York in advancing this important clean energy project through our continued onshore support, said Joe Nolan, Chief Executive Officer and President of Eversource Energy.
Sunrise Wind will bring considerable new investment and job opportunities to New York, especially for the local union slated to build the projects onshore transmission system, while also helping to reduce carbon emissions and advance a clean energy future. We look forward to our continued role as a leading transmission expert to help enable the continued development of this important renewable resource for our region.
Back in January, 2024, Eversource reached an agreement to sell its 50 per cent interest in Sunrise Wind to rsted, contingent on, among other things, the projects successful award in the most recent offshore wind renewable energy certificates request for proposals (ORECRFP23-1) issued by New Yorks energy agency, NYSERDA. Sunrise Wind was subsequently selected by New York State in February 2024 to move forward with contract negotiations with NYSERDA.
The transaction is expected to close later this year and is subject to certain conditions, including execution of a contract with NYSERDA and customary regulatory approvals.
Located approximately 30 miles (about 48 kilometres) east of Montauk, New Jersey, Sunrise Wind is expected to be the countrys largest offshore wind farm once it is completed in 2026, generating enough clean energy to power nearly 600,000 New York homes.
