Workshop for the Offshore Wind Supply Chain in Greece (presentations, videos)
On Thursday, November 23, 2023, the workshop on the challenges and prospects for the development of the domestic supply chain for Offshore Wind was held at the facilities of the OTE Academy. The Workshop was organized by the Hellenic Wind Energy Association ELETAEN in collaboration with Norwegian Offshore Wind NOW.
Over 65 companies from Greece, Norway and other countries discussed in detail in a dense, full-day program. It is the first time that companies from the entire supply chain for OW have come together in the same venue to meet each other, exchange experiences and know-how and consider how they can plan the next steps.
A key conclusion is that there are many challenges for the development of the domestic supply chain for OW, but at the same time there are significant potential and opportunities. Greece has already developed, at a sufficient or significant extend, critical links of this chain such as the cable, cement and the metal industries. It has also a tradition in other important sectors such as shipyards, ports and shipping and significant research experience through academia and Universities.
During the workshop, ELETAEN and its partners presented two studies:
– The study on the technical requirements of the sites for the construction of the offshore wind farm equipment, which you can find HERE
See the presentation of the study by Panagiotis Chaviaropoulos, Managing Director of iWind Renewables, Member of the BoD of ELETAEN and Coordinator of the OW Investors Working Group HERE
– The results of the market research which was executed using a questionnaire and interviews with business executives in Greece involved in the supply chain, and you can find it HERE
