My brief today
• Assessing permits and licences for future offshore wind farms
• Assessing life cycles of current offshore wind farms
• New demands for vessels to cater for next level wind projects and resulting potential
contractor work
… which sounds rather dull
What the programme says

My brief today
• What has happened to LCOE and bid prices (hopefully the same thing)?
• What does this mean for the projects that get built?
• What does it mean for future UK licensing activities?
• What will tomorrow’s turbines look like (or weigh)?
• What does all this mean for the supply chain?
I will talk about this instead

Likely bidders CfD round 2

10/18
The UK pipeline
• For CfD round 2, winning bids about £85/MWh?
• UK wasted all its low-cost sites on industry building?
• Big zones just vanity projects? Has Round 3 been a failure?
• Has the UK consumer/tax-payer made the investment that others benefit from? (we haven’t
got much of the supply chain either)
• Perhaps unfair – but we are probably not where we wanted to be
• UK definitely needs to supplement these big zonal developments with smaller projects in
attractive locations
• The Crown Estate has talked about Round 3.1 but it needs to be careful that the big zone
developers maintain their commitment
The wrong projects?
© BVG Associates 2016
11/18
Thinking big
• Increased pipeline of projects with similar technology needs can create certainty for supply
chain, stimulating investments
• Vessels?
• Turbine variants?
• Learning is consolidated in project teams
• Optimised operations and maintenance
• How do we design CfD rounds 3 onwards? Is 1.2-14GW each time enough? Would you
build Creyke Beck A separately from B?
• Do the CfD rounds need to be rethought? Currently you need a consented project to play -
£80 million is an expensive ticket. How many developers would start on this process now?
• The current CfD allocation process doesn’t look sustainable.
How do we get the benefit of big zones
© BVG Associates 2016
12/18
What does this mean for the supply chain?
• A word of caution. Just because we have had rapid cost reduction, doesn’t mean that it will
continue at the same pace. And bid price isn’t the same as LCOE …
• Happy coincidence of new turbines, cheap steel and cheap finance. Can’t assume that the
last two will remain favourable.
• It becomes more important that turbine development (and other innovation) continues.
How do we get to subsidy free?

What does this mean for the supply chain?
What will a 12MW turbine look like?

200m rotor +
Hub height 130m?
14/18
What does this mean for vessels?
• Too many were surprised by the rapid introduction of 8MW turbines
• A lot of investment in turbine installation vessels but the fleet no longer looks fit for purpose
• Upgrades to vessels (legs and cranes) can plug the gap in the short term
• Are there any vessels that can install a 10MW+
• When vessel investments were committed in 2010-12,
the forecast market was a lot larger
• Is there a business case for a new vessel?
• A manufacturer cannot develop a new turbine if the
LCOE benefit is lost through inefficient installation
• If a WTM can make long-term commitment to SOVs…
Collaboration is vital

15/18
What does this mean for vessels?
• Is it asking too much to keep bringing new vessels
into service to keep up with turbine developments?
• Integrated turbine installation has been explored but
barriers to entry were too high
• Is this still true? Could it be the USA’s solution to
the Jones Act problem?
• Will the floating industry tackle concerns about
onshore logistics?
• Will turbine manufacturers need to engage with
radical solutions to sustain cost reduction?
Do we need a radical re-think?
© BVG Associates 2016
16/18
What does this mean for foundations?
• Back in 2012, many thought that you couldn’t
manage more than a 6MW at 25m on a monopile
• Even for larger turbines, could monopiles still be
used for near-shore sites with 10-12MW turbines
(assuming there are no consenting problem?
• Investment in jacket facilities has lagged because of
technology/market uncertainties and because
fabricators need to amortise over a short period.
• No point if turbine innovation LCOE gains are lost
on suboptimal foundations
• Again, there is a strong case for turbine
manufacturers to collaborate with the supply chain
The demise of monopiles was greatly exaggerated

17/18
What does this mean for everyone
• Turbine manufacturers have made a huge contribution in making offshore wind the most
attractive new source of renewable energy in some markets.
• They have shown a huge faith in the potential for cost reduction
• Much of the cost reduction has been from a declining market for foundations, cables and
installation contractors
• New investments in the supply chain need the intervention of turbine manufacturers and
they therefore become more influential and powerful in the industry
• This is good – because they have shown leadership
• This could be bad for suppliers if they are competing in a shrinking market
• Should we be concerned that competition in the turbine market is less fierce than we would
like? Do we need a hungry third player in the UK market?
The turbine manufacturers are more important than ever in shaping the future of the industry

Bigger, larger, heavier

  • 1. 1/18 Bigger, Larger, Heavier New offshore wind projects in the pipeline and consequential demands for the supply chain Dr Alun Roberts, Associate Director Offshore Renewables – Wind, 6 December 2016
  • 2. 2/18 About BVG Associated Selected clientsBVG Associates Business advisory • Analysis and forecasting • Strategic advice • Business and supply chain development Economics • Socioeconomics and local benefits • Technology and project economic modelling • Policy and local content assessment Technology • Engineering services • Due diligence • Strategy and R&D support © BVG Associates 2016
  • 4. 4/18 My brief today • Assessing permits and licences for future offshore wind farms • Assessing life cycles of current offshore wind farms • New demands for vessels to cater for next level wind projects and resulting potential contractor work … which sounds rather dull What the programme says © BVG Associates 2016
  • 5. 5/18 My brief today • What has happened to LCOE and bid prices (hopefully the same thing)? • What does this mean for the projects that get built? • What does it mean for future UK licensing activities? • What will tomorrow’s turbines look like (or weigh)? • What does all this mean for the supply chain? I will talk about this instead © BVG Associates 2016
  • 6. 6/18 Offshore wind is no longer expensive Electricity generation costs for projects commissioned in 2020 © BVG Associates 2016 6MW+ turbines Source: DONG Euros
  • 7. 7/18 Cost reduction is king Many said it couldn’t be done © BVG Associates 2016 Borssele, NL Kriegers flak, DK Sources: BEIS, Ofgem (Borssele and Kriegers Flak include approximate transmission costs) Levelisedcostofenergy(£/MWh) Vesterhav, DK Moroccan onshore wind
  • 8. 8/18 Looking ahead Subsidy-free by 2023 © BVG Associates 2016
  • 9. 9/18 What does this mean for the projects that are built? Key projects © BVG Associates 2016 Borssele, NL Kriegers flak, DK Vesterhav, DK Likely bidders CfD round 2 Possible additional bidders CfD round 3 in Q4 2018
  • 10. 10/18 The UK pipeline • For CfD round 2, winning bids about £85/MWh? • UK wasted all its low-cost sites on industry building? • Big zones just vanity projects? Has Round 3 been a failure? • Has the UK consumer/tax-payer made the investment that others benefit from? (we haven’t got much of the supply chain either) • Perhaps unfair – but we are probably not where we wanted to be • UK definitely needs to supplement these big zonal developments with smaller projects in attractive locations • The Crown Estate has talked about Round 3.1 but it needs to be careful that the big zone developers maintain their commitment The wrong projects? © BVG Associates 2016
  • 11. 11/18 Thinking big • Increased pipeline of projects with similar technology needs can create certainty for supply chain, stimulating investments • Vessels? • Turbine variants? • Learning is consolidated in project teams • Optimised operations and maintenance • How do we design CfD rounds 3 onwards? Is 1.2-14GW each time enough? Would you build Creyke Beck A separately from B? • Do the CfD rounds need to be rethought? Currently you need a consented project to play - £80 million is an expensive ticket. How many developers would start on this process now? • The current CfD allocation process doesn’t look sustainable. How do we get the benefit of big zones © BVG Associates 2016
  • 12. 12/18 What does this mean for the supply chain? • A word of caution. Just because we have had rapid cost reduction, doesn’t mean that it will continue at the same pace. And bid price isn’t the same as LCOE … • Happy coincidence of new turbines, cheap steel and cheap finance. Can’t assume that the last two will remain favourable. • It becomes more important that turbine development (and other innovation) continues. How do we get to subsidy free? © BVG Associates 2016 Source: DONG
  • 13. 13/18 What does this mean for the supply chain? What will a 12MW turbine look like? © BVG Associates 2016 200m rotor + Hub height 130m?
  • 14. 14/18 What does this mean for vessels? • Too many were surprised by the rapid introduction of 8MW turbines • A lot of investment in turbine installation vessels but the fleet no longer looks fit for purpose • Upgrades to vessels (legs and cranes) can plug the gap in the short term • Are there any vessels that can install a 10MW+ • When vessel investments were committed in 2010-12, the forecast market was a lot larger • Is there a business case for a new vessel? • A manufacturer cannot develop a new turbine if the LCOE benefit is lost through inefficient installation • If a WTM can make long-term commitment to SOVs… Collaboration is vital © BVG Associates 2016 Seajacks Scylla
  • 15. 15/18 What does this mean for vessels? • Is it asking too much to keep bringing new vessels into service to keep up with turbine developments? • Integrated turbine installation has been explored but barriers to entry were too high • Is this still true? Could it be the USA’s solution to the Jones Act problem? • Will the floating industry tackle concerns about onshore logistics? • Will turbine manufacturers need to engage with radical solutions to sustain cost reduction? Do we need a radical re-think? © BVG Associates 2016
  • 16. 16/18 What does this mean for foundations? • Back in 2012, many thought that you couldn’t manage more than a 6MW at 25m on a monopile • Even for larger turbines, could monopiles still be used for near-shore sites with 10-12MW turbines (assuming there are no consenting problem? • Investment in jacket facilities has lagged because of technology/market uncertainties and because fabricators need to amortise over a short period. • No point if turbine innovation LCOE gains are lost on suboptimal foundations • Again, there is a strong case for turbine manufacturers to collaborate with the supply chain The demise of monopiles was greatly exaggerated © BVG Associates 2016 Source: Siemens
  • 17. 17/18 What does this mean for everyone • Turbine manufacturers have made a huge contribution in making offshore wind the most attractive new source of renewable energy in some markets. • They have shown a huge faith in the potential for cost reduction • Much of the cost reduction has been from a declining market for foundations, cables and installation contractors • New investments in the supply chain need the intervention of turbine manufacturers and they therefore become more influential and powerful in the industry • This is good – because they have shown leadership • This could be bad for suppliers if they are competing in a shrinking market • Should we be concerned that competition in the turbine market is less fierce than we would like? Do we need a hungry third player in the UK market? The turbine manufacturers are more important than ever in shaping the future of the industry © BVG Associates 2016
