Equinors Dudgeon project off the UK New investment in ports could save 5.3% on offshore LCOE CHRISTOPHER HOPSON Equinor and Petrobras to build offshore wind projects in Brazil ANAMARIA DEDULEASA Photograph Equinor B razilian oil group Petrobras and Norways Equinor have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly develop offshore wind projects in Brazil. No investment or capacity plans were detailed, but the partners expect to spend two years identifying and assessing potential projects before moving towards construction, said Equinor Brazil president Anders Opedal, while announcing the MoU during the Rio Oil&Gas conference on Wednesday. Brazil has great potential for renewable energy. We want to understand how our expertise can contribute to the generation of offshore wind energy in the country, the way we are doing in Europe, Opedal said. We will use our vast expertise in offshore, and combine the technology of oil & gas with existing offshore wind technology. Engineers who are used to working in oil & gas will now use their skills to develop offshore wind farms. Equinor, which has pledged to invest 15-20% of its annual capital expenditure in renewables by 2030, is already advancing plans to replace some gas turbines at the Snorre and Gullfaks platforms in the North Sea with floating wind power to reduce CO2 emissions. Nelson Silva, Petrobras director of strategy, said: Now that some of the financial problems of Petrobras have been resolved, we are starting to look towards the future. And this partnership with Equinor is very complementary to our skills and ambitions. Petrobras has four onshore wind farms in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, totalling 104MW, and a PV energy research and development plant in Rio Grande do Sul North, where the potential of four technologies is being evaluated.

The upgrading, redesigning and adapting of ports will allow developers to work with larger turbine components, larger vessels that can complete installation faster, and allow the consolidation of O&M teams at dedicated hubs all of which would help to reduce costs. New port facilities are also needed for the annual decommissioning of 750MW of turbines that are due to reach the end of their working lives between now and 2030, said the Ports Platform, a group of Europes major ports serving the wind industry. With offshore wind turbine components getting larger and installation volumes going up theres a need for new investments in infrastructure, said WindEurope chief executive Giles Dickson. These investments will help the offshore wind sector to cut costs, and will help ports to attract new business activities. Wed be keen to see new public-private partnerships and the allocation of existing EU funds to make this happen.
