Contract, Tender and Project Updates from Floating Wind Industry
A number of news on offshoreWIND.biz this week were about floating wind. In our recap today, you can catch up with the latest updates from the floating wind industry.
The French government has pre-qualified twelve candidates for the AO9 tender, which offers four new sites for offshore wind development, one off South Brittany, two in the Mediterranean and one in the French South Atlantic region.
France opened the tendering procedure in July 2024 and has now completed the first of its three phases. Competitive dialogue is coming up next and project proposals will be submitted and selected in the third and final phase.
The twelve developers who are eligible to run for building the four offshore wind farms are: BayWa r.e.; a consortium of Elicio Group, Q Energy and Kansai Electric; EnBW Valeco Offshore; a consortium of EDF Renewables and Maple Power; Iberdrola; a consortium of Ocean Winds and Banque des Territoires; a consortium of Oxan Energy and Ingka Investments; Plenitude and Qair; Parkwind; RWE; Skyborn Renewables and Octopus Energy; and TotalEnergies.
Haewoori Offshore Wind has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Korea Marine Equipment Research Institute (KOMERI) and Ulsan Technopark for collaboration on floating offshore wind technology and workforce development.
Haewoori Offshore Wind is a project company founded in 2022 by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) and Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP).
The agreement signed with KOMERI and Ulsan Technopark was established to revitalize the floating offshore wind industry in Ulsan and promote local economic development.
The three organizations plan to collaborate on the operation and maintenance of large-scale power generation facilities, technology development, and talent cultivation.
The 1.5 GW Haewoori floating wind farm is planned to be built at a site located approximately 80 kilometres off the coast of the city of Ulsan.
LS Cable & System has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Denmark’s Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) for the supply of offshore cables for the Haewoori Offshore Wind 3 project in South Korea.
The Haewoori floating offshore wind project is planned to be built in three phases, with a total capacity of 1.5 GW.
The cooperation agreement signed with South Korea’s LS Cable & System relates to the third phase, Haewoori Offshore Wind 3, which will be the first to move forward.
In addition, both companies shared their commitment to close cooperation and contribution to the development of the offshore wind industry in South Korea.
Owned by CIP and developed by Copenhagen Offshore Partners (COP), the floating offshore wind project is planned to be built at a site located approximately 80 kilometres off the coast of the city of Ulsan.
Archer Wind has started the fabrication of the foundation which will be installed as part of the Culzean floating offshore wind pilot project. This single-turbine, 3 MW pilot project, owned and developed by TotalEnergies, will provide power to the Culzean gas platform in the UK North Sea.
According to Archer Wind’s recent social media post, the first plate was cut on 19 November – a moment that signifies the transition from planning and design to tangible progress.
In August, TotalEnergies awarded Archer Wind a contract to deliver the floating foundation for the 3 MW wind turbine.
Earlier this year, Archer took over Moreld Ocean Wind (MOW) and with it a stake in the floating wind technology developer Ocergy, whose foundation will be installed at the Culzean site.
The single floating wind turbine will be located two kilometres west of the Culzean platform and 220 kilometres off the coast of Aberdeen.
Renewable energy consultancy OWC has been selected by Japanese industrial and engineering company, Kanadevia Corporation, to provide preliminary front-end engineering design (pre-FEED) services for a 15 MW semi-submersible floating wind project offshore Japan.
OWC has supported Kanadevia since the initial stages of the floating offshore wind project, having collaborated during the Green Innovation Fund Phase 1, which involved basic design services several times.
OWC’s role will focus on the first of several planned design iterations, with opportunities for the company to continue its support as the project progresses through its demonstration phases, said OWC.
The floating offshore wind technology will be demonstrated under the subsidy of the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) to commercialise floating offshore wind at a cost-competitive level internationally.
