Bermuda Calls Procurement For ‘First Offshore Wind Farm’

by
Bermuda Calls Procurement For 'first Offshore Wind Farm'

Bermuda is going to make history with its first offshore wind farm—120 MW of renewable energy planned! The Island calls to international investors to help build a sustainable future. Explore how you can be part of it!

In a groundbreaking move towards reducing reliance on fossil fuels and moving towards sustainable energy, Bermuda’s Regulatory Authority (RA) has officially launched the procurement process for the island’s first offshore wind farm — a historic milestone

The RA is working to secure up to 120 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy from turbines located off Bermuda’s north coast. The initial phase will start with an installed capacity of 60 MW and is expected to expand to 120 MW over time. The project has been identified as a preferred location approximately 9 kilometers north of St. George’s Island, in approximately 15 meters of water depth, with average wind speeds of 7.8 meters per second at an elevation of 100 meters.

International call for developers to build offshore wind projects

The RA is now inviting developers from around the world to express their interest in building and operating this large-scale renewable energy project. According to the RA statement:

“This milestone is an important step in Bermuda’s journey to reduce its reliance on imported fossil fuels and transition to a cleaner, more resilient energy system.”

RA’s Head of Regulation, Nigel Burgess, added:

“Offshore wind presents an attractive opportunity for Bermuda. It can protect us from global energy price shocks and drive long-term green investment.”

A recent pre-feasibility study found the proposed site to be technically feasible, economically viable, and free of major environmental concerns.

Offshore wind farm construction process

In three phases, the procurement of the project will be conducted.

  • The first is an Expression of Interest (EOI)
  • The second is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ)
  • and an Invitation to Tender (ITT)

These three categorical phases will be conducted where interested developers will first be required to submit an EOI that includes a summary of their experience, technical capabilities, and a non-binding offtake price. The rest will be completed in phases.

Support Studies and Site Data for Investors

To support potential bidders, the RA will conduct additional technical studies, two of which are

  • Seabed Assessment and
  • Aerometocean Survey (to analyse combined meteorological and oceanographic conditions)

These studies will help bidders to confidently assess the opportunity and ensure the long-term viability of the project.

Offshore wind key to Bermuda’s 2030 climate goals

The initiative is aligned with Bermuda’s Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), which aims to more than halve carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 through investments in solar, offshore wind power, and biomass. Offshore wind is listed as a “key component” of the preferred energy portfolio, with operations expected to begin by 2028.

The IRP calls for the immediate procurement of 20 megawatts of solar power generation and 60 megawatts of offshore wind.

How to Participate in the Project

Interested developers can formally participate in the project by submitting the EOI and supporting documents on the website ra.bm/offshorewindfarm.
Note: Only parties who submit an EOI will be eligible to proceed to the next stage of the procurement process.

Offshore wind construction the key of Bermuda’s 2030 Energy Goal

Bermuda is a self-sufficient country with domestically produced energy but is largely dominated by imported fossil fuels and diesel, but the island is actively transitioning towards renewable energy sources, aiming for a goal of achieving 85% renewable energy generation by 2035, including massive offshore wind farm projects.

The initiative aligns with Bermuda’s Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), which aims to cut carbon dioxide emissions by more than half by 2030, with accounting for offshore wind listed as a “major component” of the preferred energy portfolio, with operations potentially supposed to start in 2028.

The IRP also calls for the immediate procurement of 20 MW in solar generation and 60 MW in offshore wind.

Wind turbine blade Breaks in Akita, Japan – one dead

by

A 40-meter-long blade has tragically fallen from a turbine in Akita Prefecture, northern Japan, killing an elderly man. Metal fatigue and regular maintenance and inspection are the issues.

JAPAN man dies 5

Turbine Blade Breaks in Akita

One Dead


Police received a call at around 10:30 a.m. on Friday, May 2, reporting that a turbine blade had exploded in a park in Akita City. The deceased, 81-year-old Takashi Shishido, was found lying on the ground near the broken blade at Araya Seaside Park in the city’s Araya district.

Emergency services were notified at around 10:20 a.m. and Shishido was taken to a nearby hospital with a head injury.. He was pronounced dead about an hour later. Authorities are currently investigating whether the falling blade was a direct cause of his death.

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) had issued a severe wind warning that morning. The highest instantaneous wind speed was recorded at 7:52 a.m., with forecasts predicting that strong winds will continue in northeastern Japan until the evening.

Turbine Breakdown, Maintenance and inspections are concern

According to Akita’s Clean Energy Industry Promotion Division, the turbine involved in the incident was installed by a Tokyo-based company, Sakura Furiyoku. The turbine is located in a city-run park along the Sea of ​​Japan that features walking paths and rest pavilions. Following the incident, police restricted access to the park via the road.

This is not the first incident in the region. In December 2010, one of the three blades of a turbine at the same location fell off, although no injuries were reported. A wind energy expert in Akita suggested that the blade failure could have been caused by metal fatigue and highlighted the importance of regular maintenance and inspection. ” and If inspections had been carried out the case, this could have been prevented. but If public concern increases, it could have a negative impact on the wind energy industry,” the expert warned.

Sakura Furiyoku Japan is a Tokyo-based company specializing in wind energy development and operation. The company is headquartered in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. Detailed information about Sakura Furiyoku’s extensive operations is limited to the public, and the tragic incident has raised concerns about maintenance practices and safety protocols at its wind power facilities.
