A
fter Taiwan, Japan will
be the next big market
for offshore wind power
in Asia, with projects of at least
600MW starting to be installed
from 2022-23, says Andreas
Nauen, offshore wind chief
executive at Siemens Gamesa
Renewable Energy (SGRE).
Everything falls into place
there. You have an existing
industry, decent wind conditions,
and legislation is currently being
passed through parliament,
Nauen told Recharge in an
interview at the Global Wind
Summit.
While in the longer run, floating
wind is likely to be the technology
of choice off Japan due to the
deeper waters found off its steep
continental shelf a first wave of
projects will be bottom-fixed, he
said, adding that the time frame
for the transition to floating wind
is not entirely clear.
Nauen said he couldnt
immediately give an exact
estimate of the volumes likely
to be installed off Japan in the
coming years, but said that the
first so-called harbour projects
will still be relatively small, in the
200-400MW category.
And then the really big projects
will start, with installations maybe
in 2022-23, and we understand
[their size will be] about 600MWplus.
Legislation to set a framework
for offshore wind expansion in
Japan was delayed in July by a
parliamentary logjam, but the
Japanese Wind Power Association
said it hopes the bill will get
reintroduced in the parliamentary
session this autumn.
Analysts said earlier this
SGRE: Japan will
be Asias next big
offshore wind market
year that the bill represents an
important first step in promoting
large-scale development off the
Japanese coast, even though
a number of crucial details
were still left hanging, such as
responsibility for offshore grid
transmission links.
SGRE earlier this month said
it will offer a version of its SG
8.0-167 direct-drive offshore
turbine that is adapted to extreme
climates, such as typhoons for
Taiwan and other Asia-Pacific
markets.
French floating wind pioneer
Ideol and investment group
Macquarie are already getting
ready for the time floating wind
will take off in Japan.
In April, the pair signed a
memorandum of understanding
to develop a commercial-scale
floating wind array off Japan,
which they said would be a multihundred megawatt project.
Poland will also
hold a 700MW
tender for smallscale projects

co-operation of those two sources
can make energy less expensive
and cleaner.
A different 700MW auction for
sub-1MW projects will also be
held this year, which is likely to
favour solar projects, Kazmierski
added.
Our system is screaming for
PV because of the lack of energy
during summer time.
The wind sector has welcomed
the shift in government policy.
Poland has a large pipeline
of permitted onshore wind
projects seeking a route to
market, said Johannes Schiel,
head of public affairs at Vestas
Northern & Central Europe. The
re-establishment of the Polish
wind energy market is regarded
extremely positively by Vestas.
The stall of the market for wind
turbines will be overcome in 2019.
Bids for the 1GW auction for
larger projects will be capped
at 350 zloty ($95.80) per MWh
for onshore wind, and 420 zloty
per MWh for solar, according
to industry sources. The total
volume to be auctioned off is
45,000GWh for a 15-year period,
with awarded capacity depending
on the power production of the
winning projects.
As there are few fully permitted
large PV projects, it is likely that
onshore wind will win most of
the capacity at the 1GW auction,
Recharge has learned.
