Allen Hall: Leading off the week, Norway has launched the first part of its long awaited, inaugural floating wind tender, offering subsidies to the winners. Bidders will be awarded rights to develop commercial projects of up to 500 megawatts in capacity at the Utsira Nord site off the country's southwest coast. The winners will have two years to mature the projects before competing in an auction for subsidies in 2028 to 2029 to be provided as a direct grant. Norway's Energy Minister said Utsira Nord is an important first step in the development of commercial floating offshore wind development on the Norwegian continental shelf. Norway has agreed to cap subsidies for Utsira Nord at 35 billion Norwegian crowns equal to about [00:01:00] $3.7 billion. Over in Denmark, Denmark has announced the launch of offshore wind tenders with a capacity of three gigawatts, enough to power approximately 3 million homes. According to the Danish Energy Ministry, the tenders set to open in autumn of this year, we'll cover two areas in the North Sea. One in the water separating Denmark and Sweden. The initiative comes with the potential subsidy of up to 55.2 billion Danish crowns equal to about $8.32 billion over a span of 20 years. Last year, Denmark halted its ongoing offshore wind tenders to reevaluate its subsidy model after failing to attract any bids and what was supposed to be its largest offshore wind auction. The Danish Energy Ministry clarified that bid prices and electricity price developments will dictate whether further subsidies are necessary or if the state might even generate revenue from the projects. And in the Netherlands, the Dutch government has [00:02:00] delayed tendering for two offshore wind sites. Uh, companies were scheduled to compete for three permits in October this year for construction and operation of new wind farms in the North Sea. However, two of the sites will now be tendered later, just one site. Nederwiek 1-A has been designated for the next offshore wind tunnel with the capacity of about one gigawatt. For the Nederwiek 1 Wind Farm, the tender criteria have been adjusted to improve the business case for offshore wind. The Ministry of Climate and Green Growth said it is taking these measures to make the upcoming tender round more attractive and to allow the construction of offshore wind farms to proceed at a realistic pace. The Nederwiek 1-A wind farm will supply about three and a 5% of Dutch electricity consumption once completed. And in South Korea, south Korea's, Jeonnam 1 Wind Farm has officially entered commercial operation. The 96 megawatt project is owned by a joint venture between Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and SK Innovations [00:03:00] ENS, the installation of 10 Siemens ga MEA 10 megawatt Direct Drive turbines was completed in December of last year. Commissioning followed earlier this year. Copenhagen Offshore Partners, the exclusive offshore wind development partner to CIP Co-LED project development activities for Jeonnam 1 on behalf of the project owners. This project Mercks the first large scale offshore wind project in Korea led by the private sector. That's this week's top. News stories. Stay tuned for the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast tomorrow.

CBC's West of Centre political podcast breaks down early signals from Canada's new Minister of Energy and Natural Resources as he attempts to reset Ottawa's rocky relationship with Western Canada's energy sector. Tim Hodgson brings both Bay Street credentials and oilpatch familiarity — and he's leaning into both. Guest host Jim Brown was joined by Grant Sprague, former Alberta deputy energy minister; Globe and Mail energy reporter Emma Graney; and Bill Whitelaw, chair of the Canadian Society for Evolving Energy.

The Associate Energy Minister says reversing natural gas policies will take time. Production fell 20 percent in the first quarter - compared on the year before - to 22.85 petajoules. Industry spokespeople say available gas is depleting and exploration of new fields is banned. Shane Jones says the last Government wanted the sector shut down - and faith needs to be restored it has a future. "Since 2018 and 2019, when the curtain came down on the industry, people stopped drilling and people lost confidence - that there would be no future for fossil fuel in New Zealand."

"Cabinet has approved that aside critical agencies, all other MMDA's must budget for electricity bills" - John Jinapor, Energy Minister.

Electricity and Energy Minister, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa says Eskom is doing its best to manage the national grid as demand for energy increases during winter. This after the power utility implemented stage two rolling blackouts yesterday. This due to a combination of factors, including delays in returning generation units from planned maintenance, unexpected capacity losses, and high-than-expected demand. Despite this, Ramokgopa says Eskom's power system is in a significantly stronger position than it was during the same period last year. He briefed the media earlier in Pretoria ...

Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. I'm your host, Allen Hall, and I'll be joined by my Uptime co host, After these news headlines, France is making waves in offshore wind development, announcing plans to tender for 9. 2 gigawatts of projects in the coming months. This includes two fixed and three floating wind farms to be built off the coast of the Ficon, Brittany, the Gasconia Gulf, and the southern Mediterranean. These installations are part of France's ambitious goal to have 45 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2050. Francis, Energy Minister, emphasized the importance of these projects for the industrial value chain, urging companies to maintain their local presence for turbine manufacturing and installation. Crossing the Atlantic, Hydro Québec and Lyons, de l'Energie de l'Est. has unveiled a plan for a new wind farm in eastern Quebec. The project, which could generate up to one gigawatt, represents a three billion dollar investment in the region and spans over 700 square kilometers. This development also includes First Nations marking a step towards economic reconciliation. The project aligns with Hydro Quebec's strategic shift towards collaborating with communities from the outset. In the United States,

The Government's released its Policy Statement on electricity - outlining the role of the Government and the Electricity Authority.

Brown told Francesca Rudkin they don't want the Authority concerning themselves with things they don't need to. “The Electricity Authority needs to ensure that they are focused on competition, affordability and security of supply, and that they're not focused on what type of fuel is actually being used.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Entirely avoidable, this is the conclusion of a report into a collapsed pylon that cut power to thousands of Northland businesses causing economic losses of up to 80 million dollars. The much anticipated Electricty Authority report, was ordered by the Energy Minister in the wake of the incident. It also found that the grid operator Transpower had been warned contractor maintenance crews needed more training but it did nothing. Northland reporter Peter de Graaf gauged the reactions from people affected by the outage.

The Energy Minister has been quick to criticise Transpower's conduct that led to the collapse of a Northland power pylon. A new report by the Electricity Authority revealed one of the company's senior engineers had warned crews doing foundation work had knowledge gaps before the pylon toppled in June. Minister Simeon Brown says this failure was 'unacceptable' and 'avoidable'. "Ultimately, Transpower didn't do anything in relation to addressing those concerns in 2021 - and that has led to what happened in Northland in June this year."

Cabinet has agreed to import more Liquefied Natural Gas and fast-track reforms to make it easier to build renewable energy farms in light of sky-high power prices pressuring big industry users.

The Energy Minister says rising power costs are because of low supply. Heavy business users have warned spiking prices threaten their viability - including timber mills facing possible closure. The Electricity Authority and Commerce Commission has been asked to look at whether power companies are price gouging. The Government is also looking to import more liquefied natural gas. Simeon Brown says the last Government's ban on gas exploration was detrimental.
