Offshore market development - Europe (1/2)
United
Kingdom
Ireland
Isle of Man
• Ambition of 50 GW by 2030 for offshore wind, including 5 GW of floating, was reiterated in March 2023
Commitment to decarbonise electricity system by 2035 and binding target to reach net-zero emissions across the whole economy by 2050
•
⚫ CfD allocation rounds held annually; Allocation Round 5 in 2023 had no bids for offshore wind due to administrative strike price (ASP) deemed too low by all developers
⚫ Ørsted is conducting strong engagement towards government to influence the auction framework to enable successful outcome in Allocation Round 6 and future auctions
Government programme in place to tackle barriers to deployment (grid, planning etc.) and ongoing fundamental review of the electricity market (REMA)
⚫ Ørsted is engaging with the Labour Party who have published the Mission-Climate report, with ambitious 2030 aspirations for renewables including 55 GW for offshore wind
⚫ UK Government implemented the levy targeting exceptional electricity generation receipts with effect from 1 January 2023
.
Details on Lease Round 5 (Celtic Sea) for 4.5 GW of floating projects for delivery by 2035 to be released in 2023. Process to begin in 2024 for pre-defined, pre-investigated sites
Binding targets of 51% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050
Target of 80% of electricity from renewables and 5 GW grid-connected offshore wind by 2030
ORESS 1 awarded 4 projects totalling 3.1 GW of offshore wind capacity at weighted average EUR 86.05/MWh

A state-selected 900 MW site will be made available to participate in the ORESS 2.1 auction expected in 2024
Target for 100% carbon neutral electricity by 2030 and at least 20 MW of local renewable energy generation on the Island by 2026
The Isle of Man is a Crown Dependency and energy projects in its territorial waters are not currently eligible to participate in UK CfD auctions
Ørsted was successful in being awarded the first and so-far only Agreement for Lease in 2015
Ørsted continues to engage regularly with key stakeholders, including the Isle of Man Government, to deliver a large-scale offshore wind farm off the east coast of the Island
• A new Energy Strategy was published in June 2023 with a stated policy principle to work with Ørsted to maximise the benefits of the Agreement for Lease
Plan to begin work scoping future licensing rounds for offshore wind

Target of 80% renewables in the energy mix by 2030 and GHG-neutrality by 2045
• Ambition to increase offshore wind targets to 30 GW by 2030, 40 GW by 2035 and 70 GW by 2045
In July BP and Total were awarded 7 GW seabed for a total payment of EUR 12,6 bn
Germany will tender 8 GW of offshore wind in 2024 in the North Sea in a Track 1 (price + on price factors) and in a Track 2 (dynamic price auction) - In the moment the auction
design is no different to the regulations in the WindSeeG this year, but has a degree of uncertainty - with the final auction guideline first available March 2024
