The Basque Energy Cluster and Norwegian Offshore Wind signed an MoU to strengthen collaboration between the Norwegian and Basque offshore wind supply chains. The two entities also organised a seminar on the case study of the DemoSATH project, in which they showed the capabilities of Basque and Norwegian companies in this project and in floating wind power in general. Furthermore, the Basque Energy Cluster co-organised a networking event with Rystad Energy, a Norwegian consulting firm that specialises in the energy sector, to raise awareness of their partnership and to provide information on Rystad's recent report for WindEurope.
On 21 March, within the framework of WindEurope Bilbao, the Energy Cluster signed an agreement with the Norwegian Offshore Wind cluster with the aim of creating synergies between the offshore wind value chains of both countries. This agreement is intended to pave the way for new agreements and projects between Basque and Norwegian companies. This agreement is not limited to the Norwegian and Spanish markets, but also covers other European and global markets.
Both clusters organised an event on March 21 at WindEurope Bilbao to present DemoSATH, the floating platform prototype installed at BiMEP, as an example of the collaborations that have taken place in recent years. Norwegian companies have extensive experience in installation work and maritime operations, from the oil & gas sector. Meanwhile, Basque companies, have extensive engineering know-how in floating wind energy and in the manufacture of equipment for this sector. As a result, Saitec gave a presentation in conjunction with RWE on the DemoSATH project and its manufacturing and installation characteristics. The Norwegian company Windstaller gave a presentation on its participation in installing the prototype and Vicinay described its participation in supplying mooring systems for the prototype. Over 20 companies attended and learned about these examples of collaboration and witnessed future opportunities for Basque and Norwegian companies to continue to collaborate in the floating wind sector.
That same afternoon, the Energy Cluster co-organised a networking event with Rystad Energy at the ABBA Euskalduna Hotel. The Norwegian consultancy firm, which specialises in the energy sector, presented a report prepared for WindEurope entitled “Our wind, our value” and provided a networking area for international companies and Basque companies.
