   De gouverneur van de staat Louisiana, John Edwards kondigt, de eerste offshore hernieuwbare energie plannen aan, voor de Golf van Mexico.
   
   9 november 2020
   Vandaag kondigde gouverneur John Bel Edwards een initiatief voor hernieuwbare energie aan voor de Golf van Mexico, met plannen om de sterke punten van Louisiana op het gebied van offshore-energieproductie te benutten voor de ontwikkeling van windenergie, de nummer 1 bron van hernieuwbare energie in het land.
   
   De regering Edwards presenteerde zijn visie op de inaugurele bijeenkomst van vandaag van de Climate Initiatives Task Force die hij eerder dit jaar heeft opgericht. Offshore windenergie zal een van de vele strategieën zijn die door de taskforce worden gevolgd om de groei van broeikasgasemissies te beteugelen die de luchtkwaliteit hebben verminderd, hebben bijgedragen aan kusterosie door zeestijging en de ernst van weersomstandigheden hebben vergroot.
   
   "Ik heb dr. Walter Cruickshank en het Amerikaanse Bureau of Ocean Energy Management gevraagd om ons te helpen bij het opzetten van een taskforce van federale, staats- en lokale functionarissen die een blauwdruk zullen maken voor de productie van hernieuwbare energie in de Golf van Mexico", zei Gov. Edwards.
   
   “Dit is niet een 'taart in de lucht' belofte van economische kansen. We hebben al een opkomende offshore windenergie-industrie en de offshore olie- en gasindustrie in Louisiana heeft een sleutelrol gespeeld in de vroege ontwikkeling van Amerikaanse offshore windenergie in de Atlantische Oceaan.
   
   Volgens prognoses van de industrie zou de Amerikaanse capaciteit voor offshore windenergie tegen 2035 kunnen groeien tot 22 gigawatt door $ 70 miljard aan nieuwe kapitaalinvesteringen in productie en haveninfrastructuur, evenals 45.000 nieuwe directe banen.
   
   US-olie-offshore bedrijven, uit Louisiana, bouwden eerder al de funderingen voor het eerste (en momenteel enige) operationele US offshore windpark in Rhode Island, nabij Boston, wat inmiddels eigendom is van het Deense Orsted.

   Orsted gaf intussen ook de opdracht voor de bouw van een eerste offshore wind installatie schip, voor de scheepswerven van Louisiana, dat ze gaan inzetten aan de Noordoost kust van de US.
   US investeringen zijn essentieel, om de vergunningen te bekomen.

   Ørsted en een joint venture Shell en EDF bieden, beiden in op de aanbesteding voor 2e offshore wind farm, in New Jersey
   11 december 2020 door Craig Richard
   
   Ørsted, Shell en EDF behoren tot de ontwikkelaars die meedingen in de aanbesteding van New Jersey voor maximaal 2,4 GW aan offshore windcapaciteit.
   De deadline voor biedingen in de tweede tenderronde voor offshore windenergie van de staat is gisteren (10 december) gesloten.
   
   Atlantic Shores een 50:50 joint venture van Shell New Energies en EDF Renewables verklaarde dat het een voorstel had ingediend bij de New Jersey Board of Public Utilities om de staat te voorzien van output van 2,3 GW aan offshore windcapaciteit.
   Het is onduidelijk hoeveel projecten dit omvat, maar de ontwikkelaar voegde eraan toe dat het eerste windpark in zijn voorstel in 2027 online zou kunnen zijn. De ontwikkelaar had niet succesvol geboden op de 2500 MW Atlantische kusten offshore wind project in de naburige staat New York.
   
   Ondertussen heeft Ørsted ook een bod uitgebracht op zijn Ocean Wind 2-project.
   Het heeft de voorgestelde capaciteit van zijn windpark niet bevestigd, of wanneer het online zou kunnen zijn.
   Beide ontwikkelaars hebben ook investeringen aangekondigd in onderwijs en personeelsontwikkeling als onderdeel van hun respectieve biedingen.
   
   Atlantic Shores is van plan de ontwikkeling van een proefproject met groene waterstof van 5-10 MW te ondersteunen en werkt samen met academische partners om commerciële wegen voor batterijopslag te verkennen als onderdeel van haar bod.
   Het kondigde ook verschillende partnerschappen aan met een plaatselijke universiteit, hogeschool en jongerengroep.
   Ondertussen zei Ørsted dat het van plan is te investeren in de productiecapaciteit van offshore windenergie in New Jersey, evenals in onderzoek, beurzen en trainingsprogramma's voor het personeel, als onderdeel van zijn bod.
   
   Het Deense nutsbedrijf ontwikkelt reeds het eerste offshore windpark van de staat , het1100 MW oceaanwind project.
   Het kwam onlangs overeen om 25% van het project te verkopen aan het lokale nutsbedrijf Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG).
   Als New Jersey 2,4 GW aan capaciteit toekent zoals gepland, zou de offshore windpijplijn meer dan verdrievoudigen van 1,1 GW naar 3,5 GW.

   Veolia Bags Blade Recycling Contract from GE Renewable
   
   GE Renewable Energy has signed a multi-year agreement with Veolia North America to recycle blades removed from its US based onshore turbines during upgrades and repowering efforts. Through this agreement, GE plans to recycle the majority of blades that are replaced during repowering efforts. Veolia will process the blades for use as a raw material for cement, utilizing a cement kiln co-processing technology. VNA has a successful history of supplying repurposed engineered materials to the cement industry. Similar recycling processes in Europe have been proven to be effective at a commercial scale.
   
   As a part of the agreement, blades that have been removed from turbines will be shredded at VNA’s processing facility in Missouri and then used as a replacement for coal, sand and clay at cement manufacturing facilities across the US. On average, nearly 90% of the blade material, by weight, will be reused as a repurposed engineered material for cement production. More than 65% of the blade weight replaces raw materials that would otherwise be added to the kiln to create the cement, and about 28% of the blade weight provides energy for the chemical reaction that takes place in the kiln.
   
   Wind turbine blades may be replaced through turbine improvement or ‘repowering’ efforts, when specific elements of the turbine are upgraded to improve the efficiency and lifespan of the turbine, without replacing the entire machine. Longer, lighter blades help the turbine to generate more energy every year, providing even more renewable energy to their end customers.

    One of the world’s leading renewable energy companies RWE has signed an agreement with a subsidiary of Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp to sell a 51% stake in four RWE onshore wind facilities in Texas, accounting for a total pro-rata installed capacity of 439 megawatts. The total consideration corresponds to an enterprise value of around USD 600 million for the 51% stake, which translates to an implied enterprise value multiple of USD 1.4 million/MW. Two projects are in operation and two under construction. The disposal is part of RWE’s capital rotation program and the proceeds will be used to finance further growth in the renewable energy business.
    
    Algonquin is a diversified Canadian utility with assets across the U.S. and Canada with a market capitalisation of approximately USD 10 billion. The transaction with Algonquin demonstrates the attractiveness of RWE’s portfolio in North America.
    
    The four onshore wind farms for which the parties agreed to enter a partnership are Stella, Cranell as well as East and West Raymond. With a total installed capacity of 861 MW, they are located in the coastal region of south Texas. Stella Wind Farm (201 MW) was commissioned in December 2018 and Cranell Wind Farm (220 MW) in September this year. Raymond East (200 MW) and West (240 MW) wind farms are currently under construction. They are expected to be commissioned by the end of this year and in the first quarter of 2021 respectively. Following the closing of the transaction, RWE will continue to operate all four wind farms.
    
    The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2021 and is subject to the commissioning of the projects under construction.

    Enel Green Power Starts Construction Renewable Capacity in Brazil
    
    The Enel Group’s Brazilian renewable subsidiary Enel Green Power Brasil Participacoes Ltda has started the construction of five new renewable plants in northeastern Brazil, specifically four wind farms and one solar plant for a total of 1.3 GW of new capacity. In Piauí, the company is building the 396 MW Lagoa dos Ventos III wind farm and the 256 MW São Gonçalo III solar park. The remaining three wind projects, Morro do Chapéu Sul II 353 MW, Cumaru 206 MW and Fontes dos Ventos II 99 MW, are being built in the states of Bahia, Rio Grande do Norte and Pernambuco, respectively.
    
    The Enel Group is investing about 5.6 billion Brazilian reais in the construction of these projects, the equivalent of approximately 1.1 billion US dollars at current exchange rates. The new parks will be mainly supported by power supply contracts negotiated with corporate customers in the Brazilian free energy market and are expected to start operating in 2021, with the exception of Lagoa dos Ventos III, which is due to start commercial operations in 2022. Once fully operational, the five new parks will be able to generate more than 5.5 TWh of energy per year, avoiding the emission of approximately 3 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere annually.
    
    Lagoa dos Ventos III (396 MW) is located in the municipality of Dom Inocêncio, in the State of Piauí, where the company is building the 716 MW Lagoa dos Ventos wind facility, which is Enel Green Power’s largest wind farm worldwide. With the new 396 MW project, which will require an investment of around 353 million US dollars, the total capacity of Lagoa dos Ventos will reach around 1.1 GW.
    
    São Gonçalo III (256 MW), whose construction will involve an investment of around 142 million US dollars, is located in the municipality of São Gonçalo do Gurguéia in the State of Piauí, where the 608 MW São Gonçalo solar park, 475 MW of which are already in operation and a 133 MW expansion is in the final construction phase, is also located. With the addition of the new 256 MW project, the overall installed capacity of São Gonçalo, which is South America’s largest solar park, will amount to around 864 MW.
    
    Morro do Chapéu Sul II (353 MW) is located in the municipalities of Morro do Chapéu and Cafarnaum, in the State of Bahia, in the same region where the already operational 172 MW Morro do Chapéu Sul wind farm, which started operations in January 2018, is located. The construction of Morro do Chapéu Sul II will require an investment of approx. 340 million US dollars.
    
    The 206 MW Cumaru wind farm is located in the municipality of São Miguel do Gostoso, in the State of Rio Grande do Norte and its construction will require an investment of around 184 million US dollars.
    
    The 99 MW Fontes dos Ventos II wind farm is located in the municipality of Tacaratu, in the State of Pernambuco, where, since 2015, Enel Green Power has been operating Brazil’s first wind-solar hybrid plant, which combines the Fontes dos Ventos I wind farm and Fontes Solar project, for an overall installed capacity of 89.9 MW. The construction of Fontes dos Ventos II will require an investment of around 84 million US dollars.

    Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has signed a 10-year, full scope service contract with Aela Energia to manage end-to-end operations and maintenance for the largest Senvion fleet in Latin America featuring a total of 93 Senvion wind turbines at the Sarco 50 units and Aurora 43 units wind projects in Chile. The Sarco Wind Farm is located in the Municipality of Freirina, Atacama region, and has an installed capacity of 170 MW. The Aurora Wind Farm, located in the Municipality of Llanquihue, Los Lagos Region, has a nominal capacity of 129 MW. The contract is Siemens Gamesa's first to service Senvion turbines in the Latin American market. It will add a total of 299 MW to Siemens Gamesa’s service portfolio, reaffirming the company's leadership in the region. It also strengthens Siemens Gamesa's position in multibrand servicing globally.
    
    This win marks the tenth major Senvion service agreement that Siemens Gamesa has closed this year. The company has successfully signed service agreements for Senvion fleets in North America, Australia, Europe and now Latin America, bringing the global total to approximately 1.5 GW outside of the original Senvion service acquisition scope. In January 2020, Siemens Gamesa acquired Senvion’s European Service assets and Intellectual Property, thereby uniquely positioning the company to provide the best operations and maintenance services to the Senvion fleet both inside and outside of Europe.
    
    Aela Energia is an independent power producer of non-conventional renewable energy, with presence in the country since 2013 with a 332-MW wind portfolio distributed throughout Chile. Aela is a joint venture between Actis (60%), a global fund aimed at investing in developing countries and Mainstream Renewable Power (40%), a global developer of renewable energy projects. The company won the lion's share of renewable energy tender contracts awarded by the Chilean government in 2015, constructing the Sarco and Aurora wind projects with Senvion wind turbines in 2019.
    
    As part of the full-scope service agreement, Siemens Gamesa will provide remote monitoring, supply chain access and specialty tooling, design and engineering support and software updates. The company will fully utilize the existing hardware and infrastructure on site to ensure the performance and reliability of the turbines throughout the product lifetime.

    ALLETE Clean Energy Inks Pact with McDonald for Caddo Wind Farm
    
    ALLETE Clean Energy has signed a renewable energy sale agreement with McDonald’s Corp for 200 megawatts from the Caddo wind site ALLETE Clean Energy is currently constructing in Oklahoma. The 300-megawatt Caddo site, with its three renewable energy sale agreements with investment-grade Fortune 500 customers, will double ALLETE Clean Energy’s capacity to serve the accelerating corporate demand for clean energy. The project is in Caddo County in southern Oklahoma.
    
    The Caddo agreement is part of a plan by McDonald’s to use its large scale to help address climate change for current and future generations. The company, in collaboration with franchisees and suppliers, plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to McDonald’s restaurants and offices by 36 percent by 2030 from a 2015 base year.
    
    Caddo’s approximately 110 turbines will produce enough energy to power the equivalent of about 110,000 homes, and increases ALLETE Clean Energy’s total operating, under construction and build-transfer wind energy projects to more than 1,450 megawatts of nameplate capacity. The company’s recent growth has come through serving new commercial and industrial customers through the Diamond Spring and Caddo projects in Oklahoma. ALLETE Clean Energy purchased both sites from Apex Clean Energy and, as at Diamond Spring, the two companies will work together to finalize development and construction of Caddo.

    Enel Green Power Starts 2 Wind Farms in US
    
    Enel, through its US renewable subsidiary Enel Green Power North America, has begun operating a 199 MW expansion of the Cimarron Bend wind farm in Clark County, Kansas, making the overall 599 MW facility the largest renewable plant owned by the Enel Group currently in operation worldwide. The 236.5 MW White Cloud wind farm also began operations in Nodaway County, Missouri. The two wind farms bring Enel’s total renewable capacity added in 2020 across the US and Canada to 865 MW. The investment in the construction of White Cloud amounts to around 380 million US dollars, while that of the Cimarron Bend expansion amounts to over 281 million US dollars.
    
    The start of operations at the Cimarron Bend expansion, on which construction began in the second quarter of 2020, further cements Enel Green Power’s status as the largest wind operator in Kansas by managed capacity. The overall 599 MW facility is expected to generate a total of more than 2.7 TWh per year, equivalent to avoiding around 1.7 million tons of CO2 emissions. Enel will sell the facility’s energy output through a 150 MW power purchase agreement with Evergy, an investor-owned utility based in Kansas City in Missouri and a 30 MW PPA with the Missouri Joint Municipal Electric Utility Commission, a joint action agency of the Missouri Public Utility Alliance.
    
    White Cloud, on which construction began in summer 2019, is due to generate around 950 GWh annually while avoiding the emission of more than 621,000 tons of CO2 per year. Enel Green Power North America signed a PPA with Associated Electric Cooperative Inc. (AECI) in which the Springfield (Missouri)-based electric cooperative will purchase the entire energy output from the plant.
    
    In Missouri, Enel also operates the 300 MW Rock Creek wind farm in Atchison County which sells its entire output to Evergy.

    ALLETE Clean Energy Starts Operations at Diamond Spring Wind Site
    
    ALLETE Clean Energy recently announced the start of commercial operations at its Diamond Spring wind site in southern Oklahoma. The output from the 303-megawatt Diamond Spring site is contracted to provide renewable energy to Walmart, Smithfield Foods and Starbucks though separate renewable energy sales agreements with 12-15 year terms. Diamond Spring is ALLETE Clean Energy’s largest wind site, producing enough energy to power about 114,000 homes and increasing the company’s total wind capacity to more than 1,000 megawatts.
    
    Smithfield Foods, a USD 16 billion global food and agriculture company, announced a goal in 2016 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across its supply chain 25 percent by 2025. Earlier this year, the company furthered its commitment to emissions reduction by announcing it will become carbon negative across its company-owned operations in the United States by 2030.
    
    With Diamond Spring online, ALLETE Clean Energy has turned its attention to developing the Caddo wind site in central Oklahoma. The 303-megawatt Caddo site is fully contracted to three corporate customers, of which 200 megawatts is contracted to McDonald’s Corp., increasing ALLETE Clean Energy’s share of the corporate and industrial clean-energy market. The project is expected to be operational by the end of 2021.

    Orsted (DK) en EEW (DE) hebben, uiteindelijk, (na de nodige discussie in het parlement) de goedkeuring en vergunning op zak van de Staat New Jersey, om in de haven van Paulsboro, een fabriek ($ 250 miljoen) te openen, om de funderingen de maken voor het Paulsboro offshore wind project voor de kust van New Jersey.
    
    Ook voor alle toekomstige geplande windparken, voor de Mid Atlantische kust, zullen in deze haven, de funderingen gemaakt worden.
    
    De rotorbladen + torens gaat GE er in haar 3e productie faciliteit bouwen
    (1e is in Boston, 2e voor de torens is in het Franse Cherbourg)
    
    De vergunning van het 2e en 3e park is voorzien voor 07/2021, voor het samenwerkingsverband van Orsted of Shell... die beide een offerte maakten.
    
    De fabriek is heel belangrijk voor de staat New Jersey, vermits er veel werkloosheid was en geeft bij de start werk aan 500 mensen.

    Equinor gaat windenergie aan New York leveren
    
    (ABM FN-Dow Jones) Equinor gaat de staat New York windenergie leveren. Dit maakte de Noorse oliereus bekend, nadat het bedrijf door de staat werd geselecteerd.
    
    Equinor gaf geen financiële details van de projecten die voor de kust van New York moeten verrijzen. Deze moeten in totaal 3,3 gigawatt aan energie gaan leveren.
    
    Equinor werkt samen met het Britse BP.
    
    Effectuering van het windproject hangt nog samen met de afronding van een transactie die de twee bedrijven in samenwerking met New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) willen afronden.
