Europe has led the development of offshore wind over the past decades. Producing, researching and innovations have led to ever-increasing wind turbines up to 12MW and faster installation methods.
The industry is also developing floating offshore wind that has huge global potential. Dutch companies are now also active in both Asia and the United States of America. The production volume needs to remain steady to ensure low cost and to be able to continue to innovate.
The keynote speakers in this OWC opening session will set the scene for the conference. As we have entered a new phase in offshore wind power with zero-subsidy bids, where governments take on and manage a share of the project risk. The focus is on innovations, bigger turbines with higher capacity factors and a solid government policy. Is this development sustainable? Hear more from Ditlev Engels, CEO, DNV GL Energy, Pieter van Oord, CEO, Van Oord and Marcel van Bergen, Director, Boskalis Offshore Energy Division.
