Offshore Wind Energy key facts
• There is now more than 430GW of installed wind energy capacity
worldwide: approximately 418GW onshore and 12 GW offshore.
• 3 GW of new offshore wind power capacity was connected to the
grid during 2015 in Europe, a 108.3% increase over 2014.
• 419 new turbines were erected in 2015 in Europe.

Cost Reduction Monitoring Framework Where
are we (UK) in offshore wind LCOE?
EMR Auction Results
• LCoE for Offshore
Wind farms is falling
• The main reduction
factor is larger wind

• LCoE for Offshore

• The main reduction
factor is larger wind

Good progress but:
•The continuation of the costs reduction journey is dependent on sections of the supply chain which are
less well established and are less compelled to invest in the longer-term future of offshore wind.
•The current market conditions do not support further long term investment in technology development
and supply chain industrialisation. There is limited capacity within the current UK CfD auction process and little
certainty of the market beyond.

State of the art
 Ocean Energy is still in its early stages of development and its
contribution to global energy production is not highly significant yet.
 The resource is abundant and well distributed around the world.
 Technologies to harness ocean energy are not mature enough with
high costs of energy in comparison to other sources.
 Ocean energy will be an indispensable actor for a long-term clean
energy mix, contributing to ensure a world-wide energy supply near
the point of local use.
 The participation of public bodies committed to a clean energy
future is essential to help Ocean Energy to reach maturity

Market development
Wind Electricity Generation UK 2015
Renewable UK
(April 2016)
Offshore wind generated ~ 5% of the electricity consumed in UK
Target: 15% primary energy from renewables in 2020

The UK approach to offshore renewables
• Market development through cost competitive
support mechanisms for offshore renewables:
• CFD (£MW/h)
• Inward investment in the UK:
• New manufacturing facilities
• Specialisation and job creation on installation
and O&M
• Innovative financing support through the
Green Investment Bank

21. 21
Specialisation
Wind Energy Supply Chain UK
• 207 companies in the UK Supply Chain – see map
• 43% of the lifetime cost of a UK wind farm is spent
in the UK.
• over 6800 people are directly employed today in
offshore wind in the UK.
• Job creation scenarios:
- 15GW installed capacity by 2020 GVA £6.7bn
supporting 150,000 jobs in total.
- 8GW installed capacity by 2020 GVA £2.3bn
supporting 50,000 jobs in total.

22. 22
Wave and tidal in the UK
• Deployment scenarios range from low to
over 20GW of installed capacity in the UK by
2050.*
• The biggest network of test facilities in the
world (EMEC, Flowave, FabTest, WaveHub,
…)
• First tidal array in under development
Meygen phase 1A, 7MW
• Wave Energy Scotland financially supporting
technology development

Conclusions –
Challenge really is Opportunity
• Offshore renewables
- significant opportunities ahead
- deployment and technology development
• Significant research and business opportunities
• And in demonstration
• Marine technologies fragile but advancing
• LCOE is being reduced
• Floating wind – next evolution?

TECNALIA- Catapult : joining forces
• The challenges ahead are multidisciplinary and require knowledge, research facilities and
vision.
• Strong research and innovation organisations are needed to support offshore renewables.
• ORE Catapult and TECNALIA have strong and complementary capabilities, together we
will be able to support industry more efficiently.
• There is potential for a hub on offshore renewables between UK and Spain.
• Areas of collaboration:
• Grid integration (HVDC)
• Testing solutions
• Leading Edge protection solutions for blades
• We are working together in several EU funded projects on floating wind, cables, testing
and reliability.
