Implementation ScenariousImplementation Scenarious


Scenario A - accelerated development rate, with other technologies developing in a “business as usual” manner. Scenario B - all generation technologies are accelerated development

•Economic Incentives•Long-term feed-in tariffs have proven to work

•Electrical Grid Access and Availability•A major expansion factor

•Regulatory Framework•Standardization is required

•Availability of Resource Data

•Public Awareness

Sector NeedsSector Needs


Policies Support GrowthPolicies Support Growth


•Technology pull

•Private investors are looking for:•Government support to offset initial risks

•Feed-in tariffs

•Long-term power purchase obligations

•Investor incentives

•Funding needs to concentrate on demonstration projects

Path to MaturityPath to Maturity


•Offshore Wind– Floating support structures– Hybrid devices – wind/wave/tidal

•Desalinization

•Hydrogen Production

•Aquaculture

•Bio-fuels from algae

Synergies with Offshore Synergies with Offshore TechnologiesTechnologies


•European Strategic Technology Plan– Joint Strategic Planning – align technology

development with energy policy goals– Effective implementation:

•European Industrial Initiatives: strategic technology alliances

•Strengthening European energy research capacities – European Energy Research Alliance

•Trans-European Energy Networks and Systems of the Future – transition planning

SET Plan - European Industrial SET Plan - European Industrial InitiativeInitiative


•Led by industry

•GOALS:– Boost research and innovation– Accelerate deployment of technology– Deliver progress beyond business-as-usual– Define & realise clear targets (quantified

objective)– Contribute to political goals (energy &

climate change)

Principles of EU Industrial Principles of EU Industrial InitiativeInitiative


•Share risk– High – the EC– Medium – Member states– Lowest - industry

•Pool public and private financing

•Foster public–private partnership

•Leverage additional resources

Rational for European InitiativeRational for European Initiative


•First - decide on the objectives!

•Structure & finances based on the objectives and activities

•Timeline for setting up the EII: 1 – 3 years
