Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin America has the cleanest energy matrix in the world and is expected to have 70% of its electricity consumption generated from renewable energies by 2030. Colombia is an energy-rich country with an abundance of oil and gas reserves, although these are declining. Colombia also has a large installed hydropower capacity, accounting for up to 70% of the country's electricity production. Despite this, there is a growing impetus to develop offshore wind projects to diversify Colombia's energy mix. More generally, Colombia has spearheaded the energy transition in Latin America in recent times and it aims to use this opportunity to foster an industrial policy shift. Offshore wind development forms part of Colombia's proposed energy transition and, more broadly, the region's energy transition. While there are no wind turbines in Colombian territorial waters or Exclusive Economic Zone, Colombia has some of the best wind resources in the world, with Net Capacity Factors (NCFs) up to 70% in the waters located near the Guajira Peninsula, in the Caribbean Sea, northwest of the country.The Colombian case is pioneering in the Caribbean and worthy of an in-depth study. Colombia has taken the development of its regulatory framework seriously, engaging in consultations and collaboration with different institutions and energy agencies to prepare its legislation. This makes the Colombian legal regime for unconventional renewables a front-runner in 'offshore wind legal technology'. Given that permit rounds are to be allocated later in 2023, Colombia will become the first country in the Caribbean to start projects in earnest. Its legal framework is likely to receive attention and be replicated in several Latin American jurisdictions that share language and legislative and regulatory legal cultures or legal traditions. Colombia and Brazil are the first Latin American countries to firmly set in motion offshore wind projects and aspirations, and Colombia's legal offshore wind regime appears to be the most advanced in Latin America, and is comparable (or better) to that used in Spain.

Download or read book Wind Energy in Colombia written by Walter Vergara and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wind regime in Colombia has been rated among the best in South America. However, under the current circumstances, and on its own, the interconnected system would not likely promote wind power. This report is targeted to analysts, planners, operators, generators and decision makers in Colombia and other countries in the region and provides a set of policy options to promote the use of wind power. The potential instruments assessed in this study include financial instruments, government fiscal mechanisms, and adjustments to the regulatory system. The single most effective policy instrument to promote wind power in Colombia consists on valuing the firm energy offered by wind, its potential complementarity to the hydrological regime and enabling wind power an access to reliability payments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement (BOEMRE) is responsible for the orderly, safe, and environmentally responsible development of offshore renewable energy on the outer continental shelf (OCS). The Committee on Offshore Wind Energy Turbine Structural and Operating Safety that authored this report was tasked with reviewing BOEMRE's proposed approach to overseeing the design of offshore wind turbines for structural integrity. The committee was asked to review the applicability and adequacy of standards and practices that could be used for the design, fabrication and installation of offshore wind turbines. It was also asked to review the role of third-party certified verification agents (CVAs) and the expertise and qualifications needed to carry out the role of a CVA. The committee's findings are presented in the following chapters: (1) Introduction; (2) Offshore Wind Technology and Status; (3) Standards and Practices; (4) A Risk-Informed Approach to Performance Assurance; (5) Role of Third-Party Oversight and Certified Verification Agents; (6) Qualifications Needed by Certified Verification Agents; and (7) Summary of Key Findings and Recommendations."--Pub. desc.
Download or read book The Development of a Comprehensive Legal Framework for the Promotion of Offshore Wind Power written by Anton Ming-Zhi Gao and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2016-04-24 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is clearly an urgent need worldwide to increase the share of renewable energy in the overall energy supply as rapidly as possible. With a well-developed and proven feasible technology, offshore wind power has come to the fore as the most promising means of achieving this goal. However, fragmented authorities and procedures may pose tremendous challenges to the development of an integrated legal framework for offshore wind and the complex installation and grid interconnections it requires. This book surveys and analyses the features essential for the development of such a framework, drawing on the experience of ten countries that have such schemes in place – France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, Norway, the United States, Australia, China, Korea, and Taiwan. Discussing the impact of technological, economic, spatial, and market issues on the legal framework, eleven key policymakers in their respective countries contribute chapters that together reveal the contours of a strong and sound legal framework that serves to enable and facilitate the efficient application of policy initiatives and subsidies. Topics and issues raised and examined include the ways a sound legal framework addresses the following aspects of offshore wind power development: - license schemes; - construction of turbines; - infrastructure of grid, construction harbor, and vessels; - environmental health and safety regulations; and - loan and finance risk. The contributors show that a carefully planned mix of incentives and supplementary schemes is indispensable. The essays are drawn on the presentations and papers offered at the International Conference on a Comprehensive Legal Framework for the Development of Offshore Wind Power Around the World held in Taiwan in August 2016. As a major new contribution to the debate on the importance of a legal framework for offshore wind power and grid interconnections, this book will prove indispensable to lawyers, policymakers, officials, and academics concerned with the management of sea space to include the wind power necessary to achieve and sustain renewable energy goals.

Download or read book Financial Coverage Portfolio for Wind Power Generation in Colombia written by Juan Camilo Rueda Ramírez and published by . This book was released on 2019* with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Colombian government has decided to invest in Non-Conventional Renewable Energies (NCRE) to expand the power grid and generate a higher resilience in the whole grid towards the climatological phenomenon. In the month of October 2019, the government has auctioned 8 NCRE projects for a total installed capacity of 1,398MW . Six of the eight projects that were auctioned and have to be fully operational for the year 2022 are Eolic projects. Many risks are associated with the development of these projects, some of them are associated with the investments, but mainly the NCRE projects have a big variability given the weather conditions and the location they are developed. Given that the revenue generated by the company depends solely in the quantities of energy generated and the price of energy at the moment it is sold, financial derivatives can help hedge the risk associated therefore by changing the coverage ratio of the amount of the energy that is produced with financial instruments the project may generate a more certain NPV that creates value for the project, always depending on the value of the price of the energy hedged.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book chapter examines the legal regime for the development of offshore wind energy in Australia. It provides a very general overview of the institutional design features for offshore wind energy, providing a snapshot of the many and various state and federal authorities that would be involved in the development of an offshore wind energy facility. Next, it describes the legal regime for offshore wind energy in Australia. The chapter addresses three major issues. First, it describes the major Commonwealth laws and policies that provide incentives for the development of renewable energy, including offshore wind energy, in Australia. Secondly, it analyses and critically assess the licensing regime for offshore wind energy, focusing on the South Australian legal regime as an example of State/Territory law and regulation, and the relevant law applicable in Commonwealth waters. Thirdly, it contains a very brief introduction to and critique of the National Electricity Market rules in Australia. Challenges for the development of the offshore wind energy industry in Australia are then discussed, and possible solutions suggested.
