Europe’s ambitious target of installing over 300 GW of offshore renewable energy by 2050 is a cornerstone of its decarbonisation strategy. However, achieving this requires a massive fleet of ships for installation, operation, and maintenance—potentially emitting 5-7 million tons of CO2 annually by 2050. In this position paper by DMEC’s Benjamin Lehner, part of the […]
Preparatory Phase (2021-2022)
A front-end engineering design study (FEED) is performed. It assesses (1) the environmental impact, (2) detailed cost analysis and (3) technical design to install a 3 MW offshore solar PV system. During this preparatory study, all permits to build the offshore grid connection and deploy the floaters will be obtained. The preparatory study is planned to be concluded in October 2022.
