2 German Offshore Wind Energy Foundation Stiftung OFFSHORE-WINDENERGIE o Founded in 2005 as an independent, non-profit organisation to promote the utilization and research of offshore wind in Germany o Acquisition of ownership rights (permit) of alpha ventus moderated/accompanied process of Germany s first OWF o Platform for offshore wind/maritime industry, incl. trade associations, policy-makers and R/D o Involved in various projects (EU and national), e.g. OffWEA - consultation, support, moderation of the Geman government (2011-14); PROMOTioN (Horizon 2020), and Baltic InteGrid (Interreg-Programme)
3 alpha ventus (test site) late start but a very challenging site First Offshore Wind Farm (OWF) in Germany, Pioneering project - paving the way for commercial projects Ø 60 km distance to shore, 30 m water depth Ø First OWF with 5 MW class (12 turbines) à 60 MW Ø 2 turbine manufacturers (Multibrid-Adwen, REpower-Senvion) + 2 types of foundations (tripods, jackets) Ø Permits acquired by SOW in 2005 - Leased to DOTI end of 2006 (EWE, E.ON, Vattenfall) Ø Construction started in 2008, commissioned in 04/2010 Ø Impressive operational results 50 % capacity factor (4,450 full load hours) > 1 TWh electrictiy production by 2014 Ø RAVE Research at alpha ventus: Extensive ecological and technology R&D Program by German government (50 Mio ) 3

6 German Market Development, 2008-16 New govt. targets (2014): 2020: 6.5 GW 2030: 15 GW
7 EEG 2017 WindSeeG (Wind@Sea Law) Offshore targets and new installation trajectories until 2030 Government target for OWE capacity by 2020 is 6.5 GW, and 15 GW by 2030. +1.2 GW additional buffer for offshore grid capacity by 2020, i.e. total OWE capacity by 2020 may potentially grow to a max. of 7.7 GW Until EEG2014, 10 GW target by 2020, 25 GW by 2030. EEG2017 - new installation trajectory for 2021 2030 based on the differential of a max. capacity of 7.7 GW by 2020, and 15 GW by 2030 à total capacity of 7.3 GW from 2021-30, equals average of 730 MW/yr during the 2020s SOW and offshore wind industry called for at least 900 MW/year to stimulate further cost reduction and industrial development. Tender volume reduced to 500 MW in 2021 (exclusively in Baltic Sea) and 500 MW in 2022 (up to 50 % for Baltic Sea), plus 700 MW per year during 2023-2025, and 840 MW per year during 2026-2030 Political reasoning for reducing offshore wind targets in 2021/22: better synchronise onshore grid expansion and offshore wind development.
8 POLICY CONTEXT AND TENDER RESULTS June 2016 MoU signed for North Seas Energy Cooperation, acc. by wind industry s cost reduction statements (< 80 /MWh) NL tender results for Borselle 1+2, à 72,7 /MWh July 2016 New German RE Act passed fundamental shift from FIT to more competitive auction regime Sep. 2016 DK Nearshore tender results à 60,8 /MWh Nov. 2016 DK Kriegers Flak tender result à 49,9 /MWh NL Borssele 3+4 tender result à 54,5 /MWh EU Clean Energy Package proposals April 2017 German first transitional tender results paradigm shift! à three bids at 0 support, one bid for 60 /MWh
9 Cost reduction drivers latest auctionresults Increase in energy production caused by - latest turbine technology - continuous innovation Economy of Scale characterizedby - large projects, - improved procurement and - more standardisation Good site location characterizedby - strong winds, - moderate water depth, - synergies with neighboring OWF Good planning and pastpoliticalsupport/targets allowed the industry to mature and accelerate learning curve

12 Founded in 1983, the German Association for Marine Technology (GMT) is recognized as one of the leading organizations in the field of marine technology. The GMT targets the joint development and promotion of marine technology, particular by enhancing the cooperation in-between the marine industry and related research institutions. As of today, the Association represents more than 120 companies and research facilities.
13 For GMT Marine Technology covers the following maritime topics: Offshore Oil and Gas Offshore Wind and Marine Renewable Energies Ocean Mining Marine Research Maritime Security Marine Monitoring and Environmental Protection Arctic and Polar Technology Mariculture Technology Hydrography Integrated Coastal Zone Management GMT has established working groups chaired by leading experts of the different fields of technology.
