Innovation Impact Action
1. Other EA windfarms
Cross-cutting
Targets: Reduce the LCOE to £100/MWh by 2020 Invest an average of £3.5Mper year in R&D/innovation in offshore wind Tier 1 supplier investment of an average of 3% of annual offshore wind revenues We believe the second and third targets above will result in a total expenditure of £50Mon R&D and innovation attributable to the project. [3.1.2] EA1’s potential tier 1 suppliers’ commitment to innovation is already evident in theMOUs that have been received to date [3.1.4]
Project development
EA1 partners are involved in a range of key R&D projects, including: TWENTIES renewables integration project. Floating LIDAR validation.
Investment in innovations in project development are
Most innovations apply also to other SPR/Vattenfall projects, with
ANNEX 6
There is value in sharing results with others to increase industry
There is little knock-on benefit for wave and tidal projects.
There is little knock-on benefit for wave and tidal
Limited technology innovation will be applicable
Taking a strategic view and investing long-termin R&D activity relevant to EA1 will benefit each EA windfarm in due course by helping to reduce LCOE still further, as long as momentumis preserved.
Significant investment relates to HVDC transmission and jacket foundations, relevant to a subset of SPR/Vattenfall
projects.Much of the other innovation relates to almost all future projects, with impact same as Column 1.
Much of the innovation in the supply chain driven by these measures will be accessible to all.
Other developers will need to follow investment in reducing LCOE as projects compete for contracts, with impact same as Column 1.
2. Other offshore windfarms owned by SPR/Vattenfall
3. Offshore windfarms owned by others
4.Wave and tidal projects owned by SPR/Vattenfall
5.Wave and tidal projects owned by others
6. The wider low carbon generation sector
Experience in taking proactive approach will be relevant for wave and tidal projects.
Limited technology innovation will be applicable.
Limited technology innovation will be applicable.
Limited technology innovation will be applicable outside of marine renewables, except for transmission technology.
