2. OWE workshop l Organised by the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs in co-operation with COD l Aim: Recommend policy measures l Attended by: - Authorities EU member states - EWEA; ETSO; NGO’s

3. OWE workshop what was discussed? => Background document => Background document l Market development l Grid integration l Environmental impact => Workshop Declaration

4. OWE workshop why offshore wind?

5. OWE workshop Market development l Targetted & planned projects: 40,000 MW l Costs ~ 2 mio. €/MW => € 0.08 - 0.10/kWh likely to go down to € 0.04 - 0.06/kWh l RTD priority in FP7 Wind Energy Technology Platform

6. OWE workshop Market development

7. OWE workshop Grid integration l R l Research for optimal technical and least-cost solutions l International co-operation (COD, ETSO, UCTE) to help memberstates reach RES targets l Priority access on interconnectors

8. OWE workshop Grid integration l Possible solutions: - Dedicated grid codes - More interconnector capacity - Better weather forecasting - New storage techniques - Flexibility of demand - …...

9. OWE workshop Environmental Impact l Positive impacts important => meet RES targets in time l Negative impacts need research => international co-operation and joint research => compare with other electricity generation technologies => cumulative impact
