2 Overview Status of targets Policy Development: OREDP Current Status of offshore wind, wave and tidal in Ireland European and worldwide perspective Challenges and Opportunities Summary 2

3 Status of Targets 3

4 Current trajectory 2020 targets 16% Energy efficiency 16% 40% 12% Electricity Thermal Gap 3% Gap 3% 13% RENEWABLES 10% Transport Gap 2.6% 20% 4

5 Overview of Status We may be on a trajectory that falls short of our 2020 targets 2030 Targets- more stringent- 30% of C0 2 only Still some positives Strong growth in renewables and energy efficiency to date Notable response to policy initiatives recently Opportunities for deployment and development of clean energy technologies- including Offshore

6 Policy for the Offshore Renewable Sector: OREDP 6

7 OREDP Policy Framework Offshore Renewable Energy Development Plan 10 actions Coherent Work Programme across relevant Agencies Designated Budget Portal with information relevant to Industry

8 OREDP Full SEA completed Scenarios for offshore development potential to MW Wave & Tidal and 4500MW Wind Without significant impact on Environment 8

9 OREDP 9

10 OREDP Interim Review 2017 Full Public Consultation- complete 26 recommendations to Minister for review Most- can be implemented by 2020 Additional focus on offshore wind

11 SEAIs remit under OREDP Prototype Fund: Encourages progression of emerging technologies through TRL 100+ projects grant aided 14M+ awarded

12 SEAIs remit under OREDP Development of Integrated Test Sites TRL 1-9 accommodated Strong integration with other international test sites Marinet 2, Foresea

13 SEAIs remit under OREDP Test Site Research &Technology Development Support Mechanisms Industry Partners Collaboration

14 Current Status of Offshore Wind, Wave and Tidal Technologies in Ireland 14

15 Update on Irish Technologies Gkinetic- Tidal Device Floating device with dual submerged vertical axis tidal turbine mounted on either side of a teardrop shaped bluff body. The bluff body accelerates flow. Most recent testing: 1:10 scale device. Deployed at Limerick Docks August- October Supported by SEAI Previous testing at NUIG & IFREMER flow tank. Blade pitch control optimises angle of turbines. Currently testing 25kW and 60kW versions. H2020 Funding. The full-scale device: 500kW. 15

16 Update on Irish Technologies OE Buoy -Wave Device Oscillating water column (OWC) device Next test is 500kW machine Deployment Q for 1 year US Navy s Wave Energy Test Site (WETS) in Hawaii. USD$12 million project part-funded by SEAI and US DOE PTO is a bi-directional HydroAir turbine developed by Dresser Rand (Siemens). OE Buoy tested over 3 years in Galway Bay Post WETS device will be rested in EMEC 12 months it will be re-powered to 1MW. 16

17 Update on Irish Technologies Seapower -Wave Device. Attenuator- captures energy from movement between two floating pontoons. 1:4 scale tested in Galway Deployed from Nov Mar 2017 Supported by SEAI PTO- developed by Limerick Wave and tested by UCC Platform constructed at Foynes Port in Limerick. Testing measured survival & load pressure on mooring and PTO Next testing

18 Update on Irish Technologies Offshore Wind opportunities 18

19 European and Worldwide Status 19

20 Update on European Status Fixed offshore Wind 16GW installed to date 25GW expected by 2020 EU responsible for 90% of Offshore wind worldwide Cost being driven down - Kriegers Falk project in Denmark estimate LCOE of 40 per MWhr 20

22 Update on European Status Floating offshore wind 30MW installed- Hywind Spar Buoy- 76m draft Ideol- testing in France & Japan 2 MW turbines Principle Power technologyalready delivered 16GWh- in operation for 4 years Windfloat- Portugal NER 300funded 22

23 Update on European Status IEA Showcase of OE Projects 23

24 Challenges and Opportunities 24

25 Challenges: Some high profile FAILS

26 Challenge: Unrealistic expectations Tidal Tidal Wave Wave Wave 2018

27 Challenges: Policy MAFA- where is it at? Support tariffs- RESS?

28 Opportunity: Resource Annual average wave power (kw/m)

29 Opportunity:

30 Opportunity: Regional

31 Opportunity: Strong Financial support 100 Funding to wave, ( m) EU National ERA-NET ERDF Although there is a need for Targeted Private

32 Summary 32

33 Take-Aways Offshore energy can play a significant roll in achieving targets Costs are reducing Ireland has a significant Wave and Tidal Resource There is Government support Benefits of Jobs Regional Development and Energy Security Policies are moving- but slow- what can this sector do? There is a need for targeted private investment particularly for Wave sector

34 Thank You The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland is partly financed -funded by the Irish Government and the European Union.

35 OREDP Identifies Opportunities per area North East- Fixed Wind South East- Fixed Wind and Tidal South- Fixed and Floating Wind Southwest Wind (both) and Wave West- Wind (both) and Wave Northwest -Wind (both), Wave and Tidal Shannon Est- Tidal- limited 35

36 Why Does Ireland have an Ocean Energy Programme Targets % Electricity from Renewables (Ocean 10MW production) Land use moving technology offshore Huge benefits to Ireland Employment to coastal areas Energy security Export potential Economic benefit

37 Energy-related emissions Agriculture 32% Waste 2% Non-ETS target of 20% less emissions than 2005 Industrial process 5% Energy related 61% 60 Mt CO 2eq ETS 37% non- ETS 63% Includes agriculture 9 Mt CO 2 equivalent more than the 2020 target 37
