6 Project Aims The overall objective is to make the North Sea region a better place to......live in...work in...invest in 06

7 Project Aims Major challenges of offshore wind energy deployment 2007: 1% of wind energy produced offshore Installed wind energy capacity: MW on- & offshore* MW offshore** * WWEA 2007 ** EWEA 2007 Wind could contribute 12% of EU electricity by One third of this will more than likely come from offshore installations (EU Commission s Energy Package January 2007) 07

8 Project Aims Major challenges of offshore wind energy deployment social acceptance Not In My Backyard (NIMBY) transnational complementarities of supply chains lack of qualified personnel 08

12 Offshore wind energy in Germany Political framework and status quo: MW up to MW by 2030 Ca. 1.0 MW should be installed by 2010 Currently 21 licenced offshore wind parks in the North and Baltic Seas 012

13 Offshore wind energy in Germany 18 licenced offshore parks in the North Sea Total number of wind turbines: ca , ca (by 2011) Installed capacity: ca MW, ca MW (by 2011) Source: dena 013

14 Offshore wind energy in Germany Distance to shore: ø 53 km Water depth: ø 26 m ca. 40 offshore parks in licensing process Source: dena 014

15 Offshore wind energy in Germany The "Sylt-Cluster" Sandbank WT, 480 MW, distance to shore: 90 km Bürgerwindpark Butendiek 60 WT, 300 MW, distance to shore: 37 km Dan Tysk 80 WT, 400 MW, distance to shore: 70 km Source: dena Nördlicher Grund 64 WT, 320 MW, distance to shore: 84 km

16 Offshore wind energy in Germany The "Helgoland- Cluster" Amrumbank West 80 WT, 400 MW, distance to shore: 36 km Nordsee Ost 80 WT, 400 MW, distance to shore: 30 km Source: dena Meerwind Süd und Ost 80 WT, 400 MW, distance to shore: km Quelle: dena.

17 Offshore wind energy in the UK Political framework and status quo : MW by 2020 Installed capacity in total: MW Newly installed capacity in 2008: 162 MW Under construction: 774 MW Current licenced offshore parks: MW 017

18 Offshore wind energy in the UK Round 1 ( ) offshore wind parks Barrow 30 WT, 90 MW, distance to shore: 7 km operating since Sep Scroby Sands 30 WT, 60 MW, distance to shore: 3 km, operating since Dec Kentish Flats 30 WT, 90 MW, distance to shore: 8,5, operating since Sep North Hoyle 30 WT, 60 MW, distance to shore: 7,5 km, operating since Dec Source: BWEA

19 Offshore wind energy in the UK Round 2 ( ) licensed offshore wind farms Biggest projects: Triton Knoll planned with 1200 MW Source: dena London Array planned with 1000 MW Source: BWEA

20 Offshore wind energy in the UK Round 3: Start: Sep Crown Estate contacted 96 companies worldwide Only 18 are interested in offshore projects in March offers for new projects 020

21 Conclusion: The global economic crisis is affecting current offshore wind projects The German conditions for project development of offshore wind farms are more difficult The total cost of German offshore wind farms is much higher than in the UK Lack of experience especially in logistic and installation of offshore wind turbines 021
