1 ENERGY DNV GL s Offshore wind cost reduction manifesto Impuls-Vortrag beim Workshop Kostensenkungspotenziale Offshore Windenergie 26 September DNV GL September 2013 SAFER, SMARTER, GREENER

2 Combined strength to support Energy customers 3000 energy experts help customers throughout the electrical power industry realise efficient, reliable and clean energy for today and the future

3 Our work in offshore wind: Experience matters Key trends Cost compression for offshore wind Transformation towards a renewable based energy system Improved grid connection & grid integration Our work - We are rising to the cost reduction challenge: optimizing projects and collaborating across industry and markets. - We help bring innovation to market: qualifying new technology and methods, e.g. RAVE Research & FINO Projects. - We provide an unappalled understanding of offshore risks: there is no substitute for hands-on experience, e.g. Borkum West II Project Managemnt. Evaluating Performance Borkum West II Phase 1 (Trianel) Technical Project Management Package & Risk Management Enhancing project development through improvement and optimization Meet the Experts: Peter Frohboese, Head of Section Offshore >10 yrs front line wind experience Educational Background: Structural & Environmental Engineer 4 years expert and leader with international certification body 6 years in advisory business predominantly in offshore wind Due Diligence Expert Experience Matters: >97% of offshore wind projects world wide 3

4 The challenge: What are we up against? 4

5 The clock is ticking new German FiT-law calls for cost reduction Feed-in-tariffs for Offshore Wind in Germany will be reduced by approx. 30% in the next 5 years Introduction of auctioning / tendering process in 2019 will even further increase cost pressure The industry in Europe has issued a target to reduce offshore wind costs by approx. 35 to 40% in

6 Three strategies: finding the magic 40% Reducing risk and preventing mistakes Improving efficiency of existing processes Bringing innovation to market 6

7 Doing it right Reducing risk and preventing mistakes

8 1 Do it right : mitigating risk and increasing certainty DNV GL shall... Launch a joint industry project (JIP) to improve Marine Operations in both the installation and operations phase Complete a cable installation JIP, which follows on from our recently published recommended practice guide to tackling subsea cable risks Help share operational data as a key technical advisor to SPARTA3 initiative Provide the industry with interface risk management Implement a methodology for assessing crew transfer technologies and techniques Help to ensure the safe and effective application of HVDC technology* * Not relevant to German market 8

9 Doing it better Improving the efficiency of existing processes

10 2 Do it better : improving the efficiency of existing processes DNV GL shall... Launch Offshore UNITED - a JIP to drive collaborative and integrated approaches to project development, design and engineering Optimise monopile design standards Deliver better site design through an enhanced range of planning and optimisation tools Help the industry optimise the sizing of export electrical systems Help move jacket fabrication towards serial production methods 10

11 Doing it differently Bringing innovation to market

12 3 Do it differently : innovating for the future DNV GL shall... Use the FORCE a collaborative R&D project to show how the cost reduction potential identified in project FORCE can be applied on a real world project. Continue to push the technological limits of turbine design especially with regard to larger turbines Continue to drive the commercialisation of floating wind 12

13 Work in progress Next steps: Is the Baltic Sea already cost competitive? Stay tuned! DNV GL will launch Baltic PEARL in February 2015, focussing on cost reduction potentials for offshore wind in the Baltic Sea. Ability to use Class 2 turbines Policy threat & political willingness Good wind speed Less extreme winds Close to shore Less severe metocean conditions Ground conditions Ice PRO CONTRA Which direction does the balance tip for you? 13
