Copenhagen Offshore Partners

As 2024 comes to a close, we’re giving thanks to our incredible team and recognizing their impressive achievements to create impact and unlock the full potential of offshore wind around the world. How do they do it? If you asked our colleagues directly, they’d tell you our work is fast-paced and intense, but it’s also an opportunity, and ultimately an adventure, to overcome challenges and make a difference – for local communities where we operate, for the global energy transition, and for each other as a team. Thanks for a great 2024, happy holidays and here’s to more milestones in 2025! #COPeople #COProjects #OffshoreWind #Grateful

This week, COP Japan CEO Clement Helbig de Balzac spoke at the NIKKEI FORUM about the importance of partnerships and close stakeholder collaboration to advance the offshore wind industry in Japan. Clement pointed to the importance of strengthening regulations to focus on project deliverability and the need to enhance incentives for corporate offtake, measures which are vital to grow the supply chain and reach Japan’s ambitious net-zero emissions goals. Thank you to panellists Tetsuya Suwabe, President at Eurus Energy Holdings, Noriyoshi FUKUOKA, Director of the Wind Energy Project Promotion Office at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and moderator Kentaro Ogura, editor-in-chief of Nikkei GX, for a great discussion.    #COProjects #OffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #Hokkaido #NikkeiForum  #NikkeiForumAsia #北海道 

We are excited to announce a power purchase agreement for 250 MW of renewable energy has been secured between Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Google NL on behalf of the Zeevonk project in the Netherlands. Read more about the news here: https://lnkd.in/dvpW4SRe “This is an important milestone for the Zeevonk partnership and the future of the energy transition in Europe,” said Keld Bennetsen, Senior Vice President and Europe Market Lead at COP. “We need dynamic solutions to achieve our climate and renewable goals. The Zeevonk project is doing just this, first with the dynamic structure of the project itself and now with this power purchase agreement with Google.” COP is developing Zeevonk on behalf of the project’s partners, CIP and Vattenfall. Zeevonk was awarded in June 2024 and is a project that blends offshore wind, solar energy, and green hydrogen at scale in the Netherlands. It consists of a 2 GW offshore wind farm and a 50 MWp floating offshore solar farm located 62 km off the Dutch coast. A significant part of the electricity generated by the offshore wind and solar farm will be converted into green hydrogen at a large-scale electrolyser plant at the port of Rotterdam.  #Zeevonk #RenewableEnergy #OffshoreWind #EnergyTransition #COProjects #GreenHydrogen #GreenEconomy 

ICYMI: We're thrilled to share the Fengmiao I Offshore Wind Farm signed a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (CPPA) with Sino American Silicon Products Inc. (SAS) and its renewable energy subsidiary, Sustainable Energy Solution (SES). This marks a transformative shift in approach, moving from traditional electricity sales to direct sales to corporations.  Located 35 km off the coast of Taichung City, Fengmiao I will feature 33 wind turbines totaling 500 MW of capacity. The project is expected to reach completion by the end of 2027, ensuring a reliable, renewable power supply for Taiwanese companies. A huge thank you to our incredible team and partners for their dedication and hard work, which made this significant accomplishment possible. Together, we're leading the charge towards accelerating the global energy transition! Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners #COProjects #Fengmiao1 #OffshoreWind #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #Taiwan

🎧 Hear COP Germany Market Director, Dr. Elmar Friedrich, discuss the role of Energy Islands in Europe's green transition with CISC Vice President Governmental Affairs, Dr. Klaus U. Hachmeier on the newest episode of Renewable Energy Hamburg’s ‘New Energy from Hamburg’ podcast. [podcast in German]     Highlights from the conversation:   - Energy Islands matter for Europe because they provide innovative solutions to reach the continent`s Net Zero goals by 2050. Integrating offshore wind and green hydrogen production into Energy islands will enhance cost efficiency and flexibility.   - The concept of Energy Islands was pioneered in Belgium where innovations in offshore energy integration laid the foundation for this transformative idea. Today, in Germany, these innovations are addressing critical challenges in the energy transition to enhance deployment speed, manage intermittency, and reduce hydrogen production costs .   - Key regulatory hurdles remain for the realization of Energy islands due to challenges to develop necessary infrastructure and establish reliable hydrogen transport pipelines.   - The future looks promising – the market expects Energy islands to be operating in Belgium by 2035, with additional projects underway across Europe and Asia. At this time, replacement of offshore systems with Energy islands will create annual system savings of over 4 billion EUR.     Energy Islands represent a crucial advancement toward a sustainable, secure, and economically robust energy future.

Speaking at the Philippines Offshore Wind Roundtable at the Asia Wind Energy Association conference in Manila this week, COP Philippines Co-CEO, Rune Damgaard, shared insights on the state of the Philippines market and how to unlock offshore wind in the country, including: - There is great potential for offshore wind in the nascent Philippines market, as developers are showing strong interest, entering the market and taking steps to unlock local industry - As the industry grows, developers will need to address challenges including natural hazards, grid buildout, and port development, which requires a strong commitment to local stakeholder engagement - The Philippines government has an essential role to play and our COP team is committed to collaborating with the government to unlock offshore wind in the country and achieve the governments renewable energy goals In the Philippines, COP and CIP are developing a 2 GW portfolio that is expected to generate enough electricity to power approximately one million households and offset 2.9 million tons in CO2 emissions per year for the duration of their 25-year contracts. #RenewableEnergy #OffshoreWind #Sustainability #Philippines #LifeatCOP #COPeople #APACoffshorewindroundtable2024 

We are proud to announce that the Jeonnam 1 project in Korea has now successfully delivered first power, marking an enormous milestone for our team and project partners Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and SK Innovation! Located off the coast of Shinan County, Jeonnam 1 will become Korea’s first large scale, privately led offshore wind farm.  Read more about this milestone here: https://lnkd.in/dATuTbHJ COP is leading development of a 5 GW portfolio of offshore wind projects in Korea on behalf of CIP. In addition to Jeonnam 1, this includes planning and construction for Jeonnam 2 and Jeonnam 3 with a total capacity of 800MW, and the 1.5 GW Haewoori floating offshore wind project. All of these projects are being developed in close coordination with local stakeholders and the Korean government to achieve their goals to deploy 14.3 GW of offshore wind power by 2030.  “Reaching this stage in the development of the Jeonnam 1 Offshore Wind Project marks a pivotal moment for COP and our project partners,” stated Jesper Krarup Holst, COP Partner, Head of APAC and COO of the Jeonnam 1, 2 and 3 portfolio. “We have one of the best teams in this business. I’d like to extend special appreciation to our construction team who have worked tirelessly and achieved a timely delivery of this very important project in Korea.” “This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, partners and local stakeholders,” added David Taeseung Yoo, COP Korea Co-CEO. “We are now focused on safely completing construction for Jeonnam 1 and continuing to develop our GW scale portfolio of offshore wind across the country.” #RenewableEnergy #OffshoreWind #Sustainability #COProjects #Jeonnam1 #SouthKorea
