\u00a9 Deep Water Seminar<\/p><\/div>\n

David Bova from the MS Licensing Operations Team attended a Deep water wind farms seminar focusing on the technical and commercial viability of deep water offshore wind. The event was organised by IBC Energy as part of their Offshore Wind Series of seminars and conferences; and was held at Dexter House, Royal Mint Court, London.<\/p>\n

The seminar was well attended, with a range of delegates present from insurers, financiers, survey companies, foundation suppliers, O&M vessel suppliers, regulators, bankers, risk management advisors, Carbon Trust representatives, and lawyers.<\/p>\n

The programme covered the spectrum of UK Round 3 project issues with presentations on: financing, project risk management, the Offshore Wind Accelerator programme, Electricity Market Review, supply chain, foundation design and solution types, and environmental issues.<\/p>\n

Discussion sessions focussed on possible constraints to delivery of UK Round 3 projects, in-particular: financing, supply chain and fabrication limitations in the current UK infrastructure, delivery of the 2020 target for electricity production, implications of moving from Renewables Obligations to the proposed Electricity Market Reform structure, the context of deep water factors on foundation design, and the environmental footprints of arrays.<\/p>\n
