Abstract Aerial Art/DigitalVision via Getty Images European offshore wind developers are coming to terms with a new era of caution and selectivity, as financial constraints and supply chain limitations combine to create an environment in which potential projects outnumber the capital, equipment and workforce available to build them, according to a senior executive at Skyborn Renewables GmbH. "I'm not saying it's a free-for-all, but the dynamics have changed," Adam Thomsen, Skyborn's chief development officer, said in an April 22 interview with Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, on the sidelines of trade association WindEurope's annual conference in Madrid. The shift marks a reversal from previous years, when developers competed fiercely against each other in government-run auctions, in some cases writing multibillion-euro checks for the rights to develop projects. Those days are firmly in the past, with many nations finding it increasingly difficult to attract bids. Auctions in major offshore wind markets, including the UK, Germany, the Netherlands and France, have all drawn blanks in recent times, prompting a redesign of bidding frameworks. The failed auctions have raised concerns about whether Europe can meet its ambitious offshore wind targets, including a pledge made at the North Sea Summit in January to develop 300 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2050. Governments now recognize they must actively court developers rather than simply wait for bids, Thomsen said. "Before, you were in a situation where you saw developers competing for auctions. You will still see that, but you will probably also see markets competing for developers," the executive said. The transformation follows a painful adjustment period for the industry, which expanded aggressively during an era of near-zero interest rates and rapid turbine technology improvements. That environment has fundamentally changed as costs surged, supply chains tightened and financing conditions deteriorated. "...
