THE ENERGY FUTURE THAT WE ARE LOOKING INTO
18-3-2019 NGO-meeting 2 ■ 80-95% reduction (compared to 1990) in CO2 emissions before 2050 ■ full decarbonisation of the electricity supply well before 2045
Bio Hydro Nuclear PV Onshore wind Offshore wind (other seas) Offshore wind (North Sea)
■ large scale, far offshore wind ■ accelerated deployment ■ cross-border spatial planning ■ minimum impact / maximum benefit to environment ■ sufficient interconnection capacity to maintain
- perational security
■ flexibility to support non- dispatchable generation Perspective - power system
Month, Year Title of the presentation 3
THE NORTH SEA WIND POWER HUB
Developing large scale offshore wind power in the North Sea, to be supplied to European markets, using a modular “hub and spoke” concept
- Offshore hubs in the North Sea could each connect up to approximately
30 GW wind power and distribute generated power to European markets through a network of cables (spokes) and/or pipelines (H2 production)
- From a hub, generated power will be transmitted to markets around the
North Sea
- The network of transmission cables will also function as interconnectors,
directly connecting European energy markets
North Sea Wind Power Hub Consortium TenneT Netherlands, TenneT Germany, Energinet, Gasunie and Port of Rotterdam joined forces to develop a large scale European energy system for offshore wind in the North Sea.
…MUCH MORE WIND IN THE NORTH SEA
OFFSHORE WIND IS ESSENTIAL TO MEET PARIS ACROSS SCENARIOS
70 – 150 GW by 2040
Equals 7-15 times current installed capacity

North Sea Spatial Planning
10 27 Sept 2018 OWF Spatial Planning Cost Drivers Public Concerns Environmental Techno Economic Spatial Claims
The large-scale offshore wind roll-out will impact the North Sea environment and will require cross-border cooperation and co-utilization. To avoid delays in OWF deployment that would jeopardize meeting the Paris Agreement climate goals …the consortium is eager to initiate and facilitate discussions with policy makers, environmental organisations and
- ther relevant stakeholders
…and to contribute to these discussions by providing insight into the techno- economic and security of supply impacts of spatial planning choices
THE NEED FOR AN INTEGRAL SPATIAL PLANNING APPROACH

Hub & Spoke has 5-6% cost reduction potential
February 2019 Offshore Wind Cost Analysis
KEY INSIGHTS FROM COST EVALUATION STUDY
AC-radial only DC-radial only Hub and Spoke
- Trench in central North Sea (>55m
water depth)
- Higher LCOE in central
- part of North Sea (deeper waters)
- Sand mining areas has the highest
spatial adaptation costs
- Limited area with relatively shallow
waters (<55m water depth)
- Near shore locations very attractive
from LCOE perspective
12
First indication on co-utilization costs show 1-2% increase of average LCoE Excluding nature areas will increase average LCoE of roll-out with approximately 3% Not all impacts of offshore wind area use are straightforward to monetize (e.g. long-term environmental effects) Most attractive locations (a.o): Borkum Riffgrund, Dogger Bank, Danish Coast, Norfolk Sandbanks
February 2019 Offshore Wind Cost Analysis
KEY STUDY INSIGHTS
13
- France and Belgium are not included
- Applied power density
Higher power densities would allow for less spatial claim, but also (potentially) lower yield
- No future decommissioning of oil & gas platforms
Potentially increasing the remaining space for OWF development
- Monopile foundation up to 55m water depth
Applying different substructures will change cost input, hence the LCOE (experts argue impact is limited)
- Floating turbines not considered
Floating turbines can be deployed in deeper waters, increasing the remaining space for OWF development
- Uncertainty on OWF wake losses
Potentially overestimating the yield predictions for large clustered OWFs

WAY FORWARD

LOOKING A T THE WIDER NORTH SEA BY ANAL YSING DRIVERS AND DYNAMICS IN THREE EXPLORA TORY LOCA TIONS
THE LOCATIONS ARE EXPLORATORY
This mean that the consortium:
- does NOT yet consider itself in a position to make any decisions on spatial
planning matters,
- has NO preferred location yet,
- is NOT developing a specific project yet,
- has taken NO decision yet on any realization
- is NOT in an environmental impact assessment process,
- does NOT yet apply for permits.
