Unmatched resource potential, a supply chain network eager to get involved, national and state government support – the Great Lakes offshore wind market is ready to explode!
Operational offshore wind farms in North America are now finally within reach.
IntheUnitedStates,PresidentObama’sfirstterm in office has heralded a desire and budget that promises much to the wind energy industry.
InCanada,Ontarioisleadingthechargewithitsgreen energy act and most notably an offshore wind feed-in-tariff that matches anything in Europe.
Thishasledtostatesactivelypursuingtheirvested interests with Michigan, Ohio and Ontario atthehelm.Thosecompanieswhohavebeenstanding on the periphery are now making their march to claim a piece of this multi-million dollar industry.
Themajorstumblingblock,NIMBYism,whichisbeing faced in North America is now nowhere as nearasbigablockadeasitwasamere12-18monthsago.ThenortheasternregionoftheUS,whereTheGreatLakesBasindominates,hassomany desirable factors for developers that the race to develop it is reaching across North America to Europe and beyond!
THE GREAT LAKES BASIN – AN OFFSHORE WIND MARKET READY TO BOOM
Each bordering state of the Great Lakes region has the chance, right now, to establish itself as world leader in offshore wind manufacturing, technological development, construction project management, O&M or transmission expertise.
So,thetimetomakeyourclaimformarketshareisnotinafewyears.Itisnow.
WHAT DO DEVELOPERS NEED?
Thepermittingapprovalprocesscontinuestomoveataslowpace.BUTthreestatesareeagerto change that.
Michigan’s Great Lakes Wind Council, the Ohio Wind Working Group and Ontario’s Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure are proactively pushing forward with offshore wind.
WindstreamEnergy,TrilliumPowerandBluewaterWindarejustsomeofthecompanieswhose projects are being backed fervently.
Butthechallengesoffindingthebestpracticepermit application process and legal team still ranks top on most potential developer’s lists.
THE KEY TO UNLOCKING THE GREAT LAKES POTENTIAL
Tosucceedavastnewmarketforturbinemanufacture, construction, operations and maintenanceMUSTbecreated.Thescaleofthiswork can not be underestimated.
TrilliumPoweralonehassecuredcontractswithVestasOffshorefor740turbines!Andthat’sjustone developer and one project.
Developers must secure the necessary finance for construction, understand the execution risk of each project, partner with the most suitable insurance companies and secure an available and affordable vessel installation program.
AllthisAFTERsuitablefeasibilitystudieshavebeen undertaken for each site and the correct environmental requirements have been matched.
Thesechallengeslaidoutabovemustbemetandovercome.Thegreatthingaboutthisregionis that all the technological expertise, legal skill and supply chain capacity is already on hand waiting to be tapped into. And federal support in theUSAhasalreadybeencommittedintheformof a $49M program budget request to develop offshore wind technology.
“LedbyEuropeanutilities,offshorewindhasemergedfromanichemarkettooneofthelargestopportunitiesforgrowth in the global wind industry. The global offshore wind market is expected to install nearly 43 GW by 2020.
North America will develop more than 6Gw of offshore wind by 2020."2009-2020 Report, Emerging Energy Research (December 2009)

Pilot projects, months of collected met mast data and the first large scale contracts being signed are all examples of offshore wind energy in North America doing exactly that.
What will the recovery of the tax and equity credit markets is going to mean to offshore wind energy development? And how will the price at which power can be sold in the future be accurately predicted?
How are developers planning on getting the vessel installation issue resolved in time to meet the influx ofadditionalpowerinthenext5years?Andwhatabout which foundation types can match budget, construction and environmental considerations?
