Offshore Wind Financing in Poland

DNV is presenting a tailored course about offshore wind energy financing with focus on the technical requirements and covering the project phases from early design to operation.

The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions was one of the drivers for offshore wind energy since its appearance in the early 1990s. However, the pace of the energy transition has recently changed in the light of the fossil fuel and energy emergency seen in Europe and affecting all countries globally.

The offshore wind technology offers huge chances and opportunities to build large scale assets to replace traditional power plant assets. Offshore wind is therefore seen to play a critical role in the energy transition to a cleaner energy supply, contributing significantly to an increase in renewable power.

According to DNV, the technology can be seen as well developed and mature in the majority of the western industry nations, but it is predicted to grow worldwide. Leading market researchers are predicting a 20 to 30 CARGA rate of growth in the coming years till 2035. Our global team of world leading experts in offshore wind and augmented by DNV’s 20+ years’ experience in this area, this course will provide attendees the knowledge on critical elements for financing offshore wind infrastructure to succeeded with this new and promising technology.

 

Interaction
The training will be “live” and “inter-active” meaning that participants are asked to send their questions in advance of the course but also while the course is running to be subsequently progressed in the individual sessions by our experts. The final day also offers an opportunity to have further Q&A at the end of the sessions to discuss questions with the trainers and key experts. On completion, attendees should get a good understanding of the market, technology and how offshore wind financing differs from other infrastructure assets with regards to the requirements and the various project phases. For more details, see the agenda further down.
