EVENTS & EXPORT NEWSLETTER – JANUARY 2019

Dear All,

New Year, new opportunities! All members of the Wind Export Promotion and Events Platform are already extremely busy with

the preparations of this year’s export agenda. The first outbound mission/exhibition already took place to India, and the

upcoming period there will be events in Japan, Taiwan, Germany, France and the USA.

Holland Home of Wind Energy (HHWE) and the Netherlands Wind Energy Association (NWEA) started this year as officially

‘engaged’ by signing a letter of intention, the first step to a merger that will hopefully take place at the start of 2020. With this

collaboration we took the next step into the defragmentation of the Dutch wind sector. We will be assisted by the new export

committee that is dedicated to export activities for offshore & onshore wind. This export committee consists of representatives

from the Dutch sector that are members of HHWE and NWEA, RVO, IRO, NMT and FME.

We hope this newsletter is of interest. We have a full and exciting program for this year and hope to welcome you on one of our

events or missions!

Kind regards,

Members of the Wind Export Promotion & Events platform

FME, HHWE, IRO, NMT, NWEA, RVO

Please see here (in Dutch) the full press release of the cooperation between NWEA and HHWE.

PREVIOUS EVENTS

FLOATING WIND EVENT (NOVEMBER 2018)

Floating wind – not a revolution, but an evolution in the offshore wind energy

On Thursday 22 November 2018 the branch organizations NWEA, HHWE and IRO, supported by The Hague Business Agency,

hosted a member meeting on the subject of Floating Wind in Scheveningen. The meeting was attended by over 100 guests.

During the plenary session, Bruno Geschier (Chief Sales & Marketing Officer at IDEOL & Chairman and WindEurope’s Floating

Wind Taskforce) called in from Tokyo to give his view on future market prospects, stressing the fact that Floating Wind provides

excellent opportunities to harness the best wind resources without depth constraints. With shares in offshore wind resources

in +60m water depth between 60 and 80 % in Europe, USA and Japan, the potential for floating wind capacity sums up to nearly

7,000 GW.

Erik Rijkers (Director Market Development & Strategy at Quest Floating

Wind Energy, LLC (Q FWE)) highlighted the strong momentum for this

market and its supply chain after the successful installation of several

demonstrator and pre-commercial projects and the first full commercial

projects planned. Spearheaded by a small number of companies, the need

to collaborate to find new and more cost-effective solutions as well as to

scale-up to get the competitive edge is imminent.

Finally, the plenary was concluded by Jos Leo (Business Development

Director at SBM Offshore) who elaborated on SBM’s objective to empower

the oceans to provide renewable energy for generations to come, with Floating Offshore Wind as one of the key markets. The

Approval in Principle (AIP) by the classification society American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for their proprietary wind floater

design demonstrates the successful design of the floater and boosts further development towards large scale application of

floating wind concepts.

After the plenary part of the meeting, a Market Place (or mini-exhibition) provided a podium to thirteen companies to present

their proposition for Floating Wind and to interact with the

participants, while enjoying network drinks. Participants in the

market place included: Gusto MSC, Marin, Vryhof Anchors, IPS

Powerful People, SBM Offshore, SeaZip, BlueStar, SeaRenergy,

Mooreast, Blue H Engineering, Damen and TouchWind.

This first thematic meeting on Floating Wind, aiming at the exchange

of knowledge on this market segment by supporting and reinforcing

the network and synergies within the Floating Wind supply chain,

proved to be valuable to many of the participants. More to come in

2019!

Africa is the continent of the future, and that future is looking increasingly urbanized. By 2050, Lagos is predicted to be the

largest city in the world, while just 6 years from now there will be over 100 cities in Africa with more than one million

inhabitants. What does this mean for Europe’s nearest neighbouring continent? Which challenges does that bring along? How

can those challenges be transformed into opportunities? And in what way can the European private sector play a larger role in

the construction of cities in Africa?

These are all key questions that will be addressed during Africa Works! 2019, the largest Africa-focused business conference in

the Benelux, which takes place on April 8th and 9th in Rotterdam. Business delegations from Africa will fly in to meet the key

decision makers from the Dutch private sector.

Participants of Africa Works! 2019 will hear inspiring keynote speeches. Among the speakers are mr. Samuel Alemayehu, the

general manager of Africa’s first waste-to-energy plant in Addis Ababa, mr. Carlo van Wageningen, one of the founders of

Africa’s largest wind energy park and the representatives of Rendeavour, which constructs large satellite cities across Africa.

We will also hear from inspiring architects, like mr. Reinier de Graaf (OMA) and South-African mr. Duzan Doepel

(DoepelStrijkers). Mr. Henk Ovink, the Dutch ‘watch ambassador’, shall advise participating African cities on how to keep dry

feet amidst rising sea levels. The CEO of the Dutch Development Bank FMO, mr. Peter van Mierlo, and the Executive Director

of the Africa Finance Corporation, mr. Sanjeev Gupta will – among others – join the finance panel. Africa Works! 2019 shall be

officially opened by Rotterdam’s Mayor mr. Ahmed Aboutaleb.

After the plenary session, participants can join insightful workshops, participate in sector-specific round tables and take part in

personalised matchmaking, during which European companies can obtain valuable business contacts among the delegations of

African companies and governments.

Africa Works! Is held for the fourth time and is organized by the Netherlands-African Business Council. This edition is supported

by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and NLinBusiness.

for onshore wind energy of 9.3 GW, according to the

International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Offshore

potential has not been explored but is much larger. Based

on the distribution of the evaluated sites and the

identified short-term potential across wind locations, it is

estimated that nearly 85 percent of wind power potential

is in the Java-Bali, Sulawesi and Nusa Tenggara regions.

The Indonesian government targets 1.8 GW of installed

wind capacity by 2025.

Leading topics at the WindDays

How can South East Asia profit from European wind energy experience?

First experiences of Wind Energy projects in Indonesia

What about the offshore wind potential?
