The Netherlands at a glance

▪ Strong supply chain

▪ Excellent ports

▪ Good wind resource

▪ Shallow waters (<40 m)

▪ Easy soil conditions (sandy)

▪ Hurricane, earth quake and tsunami freeJapan Offshore Wind Policy Seminar 4

Introduction

2/28/2019

› Keeping pace with the roll out tot meet the Climate targets

› Reduce cost of offshore wind

› Promote competition and innovation

Policy Objectives Offshore Wind


Introduction

2/28/2019

Offshore wind approach• Government…o Introduces dedicated legal frameworko Defines wind farm zoneso Performs consentingo Provides grid connection (via TSO TenneT)o Provides site datao Puts wind farms on the market with tenders for permit

(and simultaneous subsidy if needed)

Current Approach

TSO provides grid connection

› TenneT (TSO) connects wind farms to the grid

› Standardised platforms of 700 MW (currently)

› Advantages:

o No substations required

o Bundling of cables

o Less impact on surroundings

o Faster roll-out possible

o Lower cost

› Set-up consulted and

fixed in govt. “framework”

and TSO investment plan

2/28/2019

Current Approach

› Goal: select party that is most likely to actually construct the windfarm, at the lowest total cost.

› Strong requirements for technical and financial feasibility (with flexibility to improve)

› Selection methods

› With subsidy:- Bid based on strike price

› Without subsidy:- Comparative assessment- Auction (proposal)

› Bank guarantee provided by winner to ensure construction

Tender characteristics


2/28/2019

Current Approach

Tender results until now

Results of first 3 tenders (700 MW each) exceeded expectations:

▪ Ørsted wins Borssele I & II at strike price of € 72.7/MWh

▪ Blauwwind II wins Borssele III & IV at strike price of € 54.5/MWh

▪ Chinook wins Hollandse Kust (zuid) I & II, first non subsidized Offshore wind farm world wide

Future tenders:

▪ March this year the tender for HollandseKust (zuid) III & IV will open

Current Approach

Key challenges

› Need for master plan North Sea

› Further growth only sensible with additional demand for electricity:

– Electrification of processes

– Substitution of fossil-based fuels and feedstock

› Limitations in onshore grid: congestion and spatial issues

› Until recently we thought ecology (birds) would limit further growth


Future Challenges

Appendices

Seabed leasing

› Two regimes that are relevant:

1. general use of seabed North sea (Water Act)

2. Use of seabed within 12-mile of coast

› The first is covered in the Site Decision and requires no lease payments.

› The second requires a separate contract with the Central Government Real Estate Agency and requires lease payments (only for the area within the 12 mile zone)

› The lease contract is standardized (and published before the tender) and linked to the permit. So a party that gets the permit will always be able to get the lease contract and knows beforehand the amount they need to pay.


2/28/2019

Current Approach

Ecology› When current road map was

determined (2018):

– Just enough room for road map

– Additional capacity:

▪ Larger turbines

▪ Additional research

▪ Other way of dealing with EU Bird- and Habitat Directives

› But intermediate results WOZEP research program shows impact is smaller than anticipated and additional capacity is possible.


Future Challenges

2/28/2019

Integration in onshore grid› current road map can be accommodated.

› Additional capacity – Connection (far) inland (HVDC), and/or

– Electrification of processes near shore

– Substitution of fossil-based fuels and feedstock

– Conversion and storage (e.g. H2).

Future Challenges

2/28/2019

› 2018 Draft Climate Agreement:

– No additional capacity before more demand develops

– For current road map current system is sufficient

– Research on future technologies, energy mix and energy market. May have impact on offshore wind projects, which may require change of approach on long term

› Master Plan North Sea and North Sea Agreement:

– Follow up National Water Plan: a new weighing of all activities

– Public private agreement on how to deal with changing balance between fisheries, nature and offshore wind
