Asia has recently taken the initiative in developing the first commercial scale projects in floating offshore wind. Earlier this year, Korea signed a Memorandum of Understanding with 4 consortia to develop a floating park of 1 GW (200 MW each developer). Separately, the Korea National Oil Corporation (KNOC) and Equinor have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly explore the opportunities to develop commercial floating offshore wind in South Korea.<\/p>\n<p>If Europe wants to be the global leader in renewables, this has got to change. And there is no reason why it shouldn\u2019t. Floating has moved beyond R&amp;D and is ready for large-scale deployment. It can benefit from the cost reduction learning curve of bottom-fixed offshore, pending scalability.<\/p>\n<p>Scale should be driven by clear floating volume commitments and targets at national level in the final 2030 National Climate and Energy Plans (NECPs). This will provide visibility to the supply chain and ports and will ensure Europe keeps its leading position in offshore wind in the face of international competition.<\/p>\n<p>It is appropriate that FOWT 2019 is taking place in Montpellier, France \u2013 France is only country to include floating wind in its draft National Energy &amp; Climate Plan. \u201cI stress the word \u2018draft\u2019,\u201d Dickson said, \u201cbecause there are still 8 months to put floating offshore in other countries\u2019 NECPs.\u201d Other EU Member States should take note. Floating offshore wind volumes will provide long-term visibility and will benefit ports and local businesses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 24 April WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson chaired the first plenary session at FOWT 2019, the world\u2019s largest floating offshore wind event.
