New interactive spatial cost modelling tool

Taiwan has long been the leader in utility-scale wind deployment in the Asia-Pacific region outside of mainland China. However, the recent closing of the Round 3.3 Zonal Development auction submission window has presented global wind markets with a clear regulatory paradox. A framework designed to be more accommodating to international…

At first glance, the Project Delivery Plan Questionnaire (PDPQ) required for Ireland’s Tonn Nua offshore wind farm is similar in approach and format to the Supply Chain Plans (SCPs) required for offshore wind projects that bid into the UK CfD Allocation Rounds 4 to 6. The PDPQ has similar sections…

Capturing economic value from offshore wind is about much more than deploying at gigawatt-scale, which in itself is already a huge challenge for emerging offshore wind markets. BVGA recently completed a study for Ocean Energy Pathway (OEP) focusing on how the Indian state of Gujarat can realise economic benefits from…

Wanting to apply to the GBE supply chain fund for offshore wind but too busy to collate the evidence? Read this and call us now!   For UK companies looking to expand their offshore wind manufacturing capability, the Great British Energy (GBE) Supply Chain Fund: Offshore Wind and Networks represents…

Offshore wind offers substantial long-term growth opportunities for ambitious businesses across the supply chain, but the last few years have brought significant change to the sector. Geopolitical pressures, rising interest rates, inflation, commodity price increases and supply chain constraints have seen projects delayed or cancelled. This has prompted the sector…

In our previous blogs, we discussed the importance of government resourcing and the scale of staffing required to deliver GW-scale offshore wind capacity year-on–year. The next question is a practical one: how can these teams be funded? Some of the funding mechanisms used in established markets include: Experience from established…

Governments considering offshore wind often focus on generation targets, investment requirements and project pipelines. The more fundamental, but rarely asked, question is: how many people are needed across government to deliver offshore wind? Research undertaken by BVGA looking at established markets suggests that a mature GW-scale offshore wind sector requires…

Across emerging markets, governments are putting the building blocks in place for offshore wind: strategies, targets, policies, regulatory frameworks and delivery arrangements. Yet markets are moving slower than planned and developer appetite is patchy. Governments often announce offshore wind ambitions and targets before building the organisations needed to deliver them.…

Our September newsletter is now available. Innovation, investment and supply chain growth are at the heart of this edition of our newsletter. You can discover how our analysis is supporting new floating wind technology and offshore wind development in Romania and India. You can increase your understanding of the UK’s…

Just how diverse can the conversations at a wind energy event be! Industry leaders through to emerging technology start-ups. Specific conversations about markets in each continent – sustainable supply chains, getting components to difficult-to-reach offshore wind sites, equitable market entry, reducing carbon footprints in logistics, floating solar and offshore –…
