Today, The Norwegian Government issued a much-anticipated press release regarding the offshore wind areas Utsira Nord (\u201cUN\u201d) and S\u00f8rlige Nordsj\u00f8 II (\u201cSNII\u201d). Accompanying the press release, was a proposal for prequalification criterias, an auction model, a support scheme for SNII, as well as qualitative award criterias and a support scheme for the UN. It is the ambition of the Government to award the relevant areas within Q1 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposal is now sent on a public hearing and the deadline for comments is set to January 6, 2023. The consultation documents can be found here: H\u00f8ring av prekvalifiseringskriterier og auksjonsmodell for S\u00f8rlige Nordsj\u00f8 II \u2013 regjeringen.no<\/a> and H\u00f8ring av kvalitative kriterier og st\u00f8tteordning for Utsira Nord \u2013 regjeringen.no<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For SNII, the Government has decided that there will be a prequalification process for the first phase of SNII (1500 MW) based on the following main qualitative criterias: implementation capacity, sustainability and positive regional effects. The prequalification phase will limit the number of participants in a following economic auction. With respect to support schemes, the Government has the ambition to award the first phase of SNII without any subsidies, although a similar support scheme for the UN is available; see below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the UN, the Government has decided that the award of areas shall be according to qualitative criteria, without a prequalification process. The Government has suggested splitting the UN into three sub-areas with a capacity of 500 MW each. The Government has furthermore suggested that the award of an area, as well as the award under the support scheme, shall take place in a two-step process, as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(i) The three areas are awarded according to qualitative criteria, where the three best projects are granted an exclusive right to continue the licensing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ii) The Government will then have a tender process where the three projects will have to compete for support. The Government will set a limit for the state subsidy, and not all projects will obtain such subsidy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed support scheme is based on a two-sided contract for difference over 15 years with a cap for subsidy payments and payments from the licensee under the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposal raises several questions with respect to more details of the regulations that will need to be addressed in the hearing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We furthermore note that the Norwegian Parliament on December 7, 2022, will determine whether the Government may award a license under the Offshore Energy Act without competition, directly to licensees within offshore oil and gas, where the electricity will be used directly or indirectly for electrification of oil- and gas installations. Such clarifications may pave the way for new offshore wind projects even before the planned projects within the UN and SNII.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":5616,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"sector":[],"speciality":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nOffshore Wind: First major deadline January 6 - Offshore Wind Insight<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/haavind.no\/offshore\/offshore-wind-first-major-deadline-january-6\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Offshore Wind: First major deadline January 6\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/haavind.no\/offshore\/offshore-wind-first-major-deadline-january-6\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Offshore Wind Insight\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-12-06T13:47:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-03-15T15:14:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/haavind.no\/content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/iStock-664541680-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2048\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1365\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"idaj\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"idaj\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/haavind.no\/offshore\/offshore-wind-first-major-deadline-january-6\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/haavind.no\/offshore\/offshore-wind-first-major-deadline-january-6\/\",\"name\":\"Offshore Wind: First major deadline January 6 - Offshore Wind Insight\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/haavind.no\/offshore\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/haavind.no\/offshore\/offshore-wind-first-major-deadline-january-6\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/haavind.no\/offshore\/offshore-wind-first-major-deadline-january-6\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/haavind.no\/content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/iStock-664541680-scaled.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-12-06T13:47:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-03-15T15:14:04+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/haavind.no\/offshore\/#\/schema\/person\/55d8a4055842d31b5825750072835f65\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/haavind.no\/offshore\/offshore-wind-first-major-deadline-january-6\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/haavind.no\/offshore\/offshore-wind-first-major-deadline-january-6\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/haavind.no\/offshore\/offshore-wind-first-major-deadline-january-6\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/haavind.no\/content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/iStock-664541680-scaled.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/haavind.no\/content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/03\/iStock-664541680-scaled.jpg\",\"width\":2048,\"height\":1365,\"caption\":\"Wind farm turbines caught in sunset sky.
