Executive summary
Executive summary
Offshore wind power
market in 2015
• 3,019 MW of net installed, grid-connected capacity was added in 2015, 108%
more than in 2014. A net addition of 754 new offshore wind turbines in 15
wind farms were grid-connected from 1 January to 31 December 2015.
• 419 new turbines were erected in 2015. Seven turbines were
decommissioned in the UK and Sweden, resulting in a net addition of 412
turbines.
• 53 of these turbines equivalent to 277 MW are awaiting grid connection.
• 14 projects were completed in 2015. Work is on-going on six projects in
Germany, the Netherlands and the UK.
Cumulative offshore wind
power market
• 3,230 turbines are now installed and grid-connected, making a cumulative total
of 11,027 MW.
• Including sites under construction, there are 84 offshore wind farms in
11 European countries.
• 80% of substructures are monopiles, 9.1% are gravity foundations, jackets
account for 5.4%, tripods account for 3.6% and tripiles account for 1.7%.
Market outlook • Once completed, the six offshore projects currently under construction will
increase total installed grid-connected capacity by a further 1.9 GW, bringing
the cumulative capacity in Europe to 12.9 GW.
Trends:
turbines, foundations,
water depth and distance
to shore
• The average offshore wind turbine size was 4.2 MW, a 13% increase over
2014. This was due to the increased deployment of 4-6 MW turbines in
2015.
• The average size of a grid-connected offshore wind farm in 2015 was 337.9
MW, 8.2% less than the previous year. There were some large offshore wind
farms: 576-600 MW sites at Gwynt y Môr and Gemini. However, the majority
of German sites were 288 MW.
• The average water depth of wind farms completed, or partially completed in
2015 was 27.1 m and the average distance to shore was 43.3 km.
Financing highlights and
developments
• Ten projects, worth €13.3bn, reached final investment decision (FID), a
doubling over 2014. In total 3,034 MW of new capacity reached FID during
2015.
• Total investments for the construction and refinancing of offshore wind farms
and transmission assets hit a record level of €18bn.
• Reduced risk perception for offshore wind projects has led to the emergence
of project bonds as a means of financing. For the first time in 2015, €1.5bn
was raised through project bonds for the construction and refinancing of
offshore wind farms.

Annual market in 2015
Wind turbine capacity and wind farm size
Water depth and distance to shore
The average capacity rating of the 754 offshore wind
farms under construction in 2015 was 4.2 MW, 12.9%
larger than in 2014. Larger capacity turbines were
deployed by all manufacturers in 2015.
The average size of wind farms in construction in 2015
was 337.9 MW, an 8.2% decrease from 2014.
The completion of large numbers of German offshore
wind farms designed at 288 MW overall capacity offsets
the completion of the large 576 MW Gwynt y Môr site,
and construction at the 600 MW Gemini offshore wind
farm, affecting the overall average size of sites.
The average water depth of offshore wind farms where
work was carried out in 2015 was 27.2 m, slightly more
than in 2014 (22.4 m). The average distance to shore
for those projects was 43.3 km, significantly more than
in 2014 (32.9 km). This reflects the greater share of
projects that were under construction and completed
in Germany, which are sited further from shore when
compared with other countries.

Turbine Orders Trend
The volume of new grid-connected installations will be
lower in 2016 than it was in 2015. This is due in part
to the high volume of turbines installed in 2014 that
were only grid-connected in 2015 in Germany; and in
part to the reduced number of project starts in 2015
compared to 2014.
However, turbine orders in 2015 were stronger
than in 2014, presenting an early indication of good
momentum for offshore wind after 2016. Year-on-year
orders grew by 74.5% to 5.1 GW of firm and conditional
orders placed.
Offshore construction work is expected to start at
sites larger than those worked on in 2015, such as
Iberdrola’s Wikinger wind farm in Germany and E.ON’s
Rampion in the UK, meaning that overall average
wind farm sizes will increase in 2016. Average turbine
size will also increase as the industry develops larger
models.
Once completed, the six offshore projects currently
under construction will increase installed capacity by
a further 1.9 GW, bringing the cumulative capacity in
Europe to 12.9 GW. EWEA has identified 26.4 GW of
consented offshore wind farms in Europe that could be
constructed over the next decade. A total of 63.5 GW
of projects are understood to be in the planning phase.

Wind turbine capacity
Wind turbine capacity has grown 41.1% from 2010 to 2015. In 2015, the average capacity of new wind turbines
installed was 4.2 MW, a significant increase from 3.0 MW in 2010, reflecting a period of continuous development
in turbine technology to increase energy yields at sea.
The deployment of 4-6 MW turbines seen in 2015 will be followed by the gradual introduction of 6-8 MW turbines
closer towards 2018.

Water depth and distance to shore
Offshore wind farms have moved further from shore and into deeper waters. At the end of 2015, the average water
depth of grid-connected wind farms was 27.1 m and the average distance to shore was 43.3 km. This is primarily
the result of increased deployment in Germany during 2015, where sites are an average of 52.6 km from shore.
By comparison, UK projects were on average 9.4 km from the shoreline. Dutch projects were sited at an average
of 31.4 km away from shore.

Finance
Finance
The financial markets in 2015 continued to support the
offshore wind sector across a variety of instruments
and actors. The record level of commercial debt that
was raised in 2015 through project finance, green and/
or non-recourse bonds indicates that financial markets
are willing to back well-structured projects.
Ten projects worth €13.3bn in total reached final
investment decision in 2015, compared to €6.5bn,
a doubling from 2014. In total, 3 GW of new gross
capacity were financed across four countries, 66% of
which was in the United Kingdom.
FIG. 28: INVESTMENTS IN THE OFFSHORE WIND SECTOR IN 2015
Total investments in offshore wind in 2015 were more
than €18bn; this includes investments in construction
of offshore wind projects, transmission assets and
refinancing.
This makes 2015 a record year in terms of total
committed funds.

In 2015 the UK had the largest level of investment
in new offshore wind farms, at €8.9bn. Cumulatively,
over the last 5 years, Germany has received the most
investment, attracting €19.8bn for the construction of
new offshore wind projects, or 43% of the total funds
committed to the sector for the same period.

FIG. 29: INVESTMENTS IN NEW OFFSHORE WIND FARMS 2010-2015
FIG. 30: CORPORATE FINANCE AND NON-RECOURSE DEBT LEVELS 2010-2015
Given the scale of the offshore wind sector in 2015,
project finance remained an important tool in the
market.
€5bn, equivalent to 44% (1.3 GW) of the new gross
capacity was financed on a non-recourse basis. This
is a significant increase from the previous year. As a
trend, offshore wind farms in Germany are completed
utilising project finance. On the corporate finance side,
the UK generally favours on-balance sheet financing.

21The European offshore wind industry - key trends and statistics 2015
Finance
Five new projects and one re-financing (Belwind) were
recorded in 2015. The general trend of easing loan terms
continued in 2015, with three factors at play. The liquidity
in the financial markets, the low interest rate environment,
and the considerable experience gained throughout a
decade have all contributed to the competitiveness of
offshore wind in the infrastructure sector.
Commercial banks are willing to take a larger share of
financing. Debt-to-equity ratios remain largely in the
margins of 70:30. However, there is sufficient appetite
from the financial sector to push the margins further on
the debt side, with many international names.
The larger capacity size of projects has increased financing
needs. As a result, multilateral backing remains important
as a form of risk sharing on projects. Notably in 2015,
the European Investment Bank (EIB) directly committed
€817m for offshore wind projects under the European
Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI). The EIB has been
involved this year in the financing of Galloper (336 MW),
Nobelwind (165 MW), and Nordergruende (111 MW)
offshore wind farms.
However, certain projects have progressed without
multilateral backing as risks are better understood.
Nordsee One became the first project to be completed
without the presence of any multilateral financial
institution.

The equity markets have remained active, in particular
during the pre-construction phase. In total, 2.8 GW have
been divested in 2015, compared to 1.8 GW divested in
2014. The current trend of increasing project size, cost,
and distance from the shore are all factors that have
contributed to this peak volume of capacity divested as
part of recycling capital. Partnerships are turning into a
key strategy to free up capital from the balance sheets
through the sale of project stakes.

Equity finance
FIG. 33: MARKET SEGMENTATION OF MAJOR EQUITY INVESTORS
IN 2015
Power producers continue to lift the majority of equity
capital in the offshore wind sector. However, due to
the large scale investment and stable income returns,
there is greater interest from the financial services
industry.
The involvement of financial services in equity financing
so far has been mainly limited to assets under
construction.

23The European offshore wind industry - key trends and statistics 2015
Finance
One of the main developments in 2015 was the
diversification of the financial structures employed during
construction and operation project stages. Project bonds
are emerging as a competitive lending tool compared to
the more established sources of corporate debt or project
finance.
The Gode Wind 1 (330 MW) project bond became the
first of its kind issued within the offshore wind sector. The
bond was issued by Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) to
finance their 50% stake acquisition from DONG Energy in
the currently under-construction project. The €780m deal
was supported by GIP, an infrastructure fund, with €230m
in equity finance. A group of institutional investors, with
Talanx as cornerstone lender, subscribed to the project
bond.
Later in the year came the refinancing of Meerwind Süd Ost
(288 MW) offshore wind farm. Having previously reached
financial close in 2011, Meerwind Süd Ost is now in the
operational stage. The transaction of €960m provided
windows of opportunity for new investors to emerge.
Transaction highlights: project bond issuance
Transmission assets
Total investment requirements for transmission assets in
2015 reached €2bn, including refinancing. €1.9bn was
raised through commercial debt, out of which €1.5bn was
through bond issuances. In Germany alone, Dutch grid
operator TenneT raised €1bn for DolWin 1 transmission
line through a green bond issuance that was twice
oversubscribed.
With the offshore wind sector, transmission lines have also
evolved into a strategic asset class due to their inflation
linked, stable revenue streams. Capitalising on this low
risk exposure and solid credit quality, transmission asset
sponsors have been able to utilise the liquidity in the
capital markets to finance their transactions.

  • 3. 3The European offshore wind industry - key trends and statistics 2015 Executive summary Executive summary Offshore wind power market in 2015 • 3,019 MW of net installed, grid-connected capacity was added in 2015, 108% more than in 2014. A net addition of 754 new offshore wind turbines in 15 wind farms were grid-connected from 1 January to 31 December 2015. • 419 new turbines were erected in 2015. Seven turbines were decommissioned in the UK and Sweden, resulting in a net addition of 412 turbines. • 53 of these turbines equivalent to 277 MW are awaiting grid connection. • 14 projects were completed in 2015. Work is on-going on six projects in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK. Cumulative offshore wind power market • 3,230 turbines are now installed and grid-connected, making a cumulative total of 11,027 MW. • Including sites under construction, there are 84 offshore wind farms in 11 European countries. • 80% of substructures are monopiles, 9.1% are gravity foundations, jackets account for 5.4%, tripods account for 3.6% and tripiles account for 1.7%. Market outlook • Once completed, the six offshore projects currently under construction will increase total installed grid-connected capacity by a further 1.9 GW, bringing the cumulative capacity in Europe to 12.9 GW. Trends: turbines, foundations, water depth and distance to shore • The average offshore wind turbine size was 4.2 MW, a 13% increase over 2014. This was due to the increased deployment of 4-6 MW turbines in 2015. • The average size of a grid-connected offshore wind farm in 2015 was 337.9 MW, 8.2% less than the previous year. There were some large offshore wind farms: 576-600 MW sites at Gwynt y Môr and Gemini. However, the majority of German sites were 288 MW. • The average water depth of wind farms completed, or partially completed in 2015 was 27.1 m and the average distance to shore was 43.3 km. Financing highlights and developments • Ten projects, worth €13.3bn, reached final investment decision (FID), a doubling over 2014. In total 3,034 MW of new capacity reached FID during 2015. • Total investments for the construction and refinancing of offshore wind farms and transmission assets hit a record level of €18bn. • Reduced risk perception for offshore wind projects has led to the emergence of project bonds as a means of financing. For the first time in 2015, €1.5bn was raised through project bonds for the construction and refinancing of offshore wind farms.

  • 9. 9The European offshore wind industry - key trends and statistics 2015 Annual market in 2015 Wind turbine capacity and wind farm size Water depth and distance to shore The average capacity rating of the 754 offshore wind farms under construction in 2015 was 4.2 MW, 12.9% larger than in 2014. Larger capacity turbines were deployed by all manufacturers in 2015. The average size of wind farms in construction in 2015 was 337.9 MW, an 8.2% decrease from 2014. The completion of large numbers of German offshore wind farms designed at 288 MW overall capacity offsets the completion of the large 576 MW Gwynt y Môr site, and construction at the 600 MW Gemini offshore wind farm, affecting the overall average size of sites. The average water depth of offshore wind farms where work was carried out in 2015 was 27.2 m, slightly more than in 2014 (22.4 m). The average distance to shore for those projects was 43.3 km, significantly more than in 2014 (32.9 km). This reflects the greater share of projects that were under construction and completed in Germany, which are sited further from shore when compared with other countries.

This is due in part to the high volume of turbines installed in 2014 that were only grid-connected in 2015 in Germany; and in part to the reduced number of project starts in 2015 compared to 2014. However, turbine orders in 2015 were stronger than in 2014, presenting an early indication of good momentum for offshore wind after 2016. Year-on-year orders grew by 74.5% to 5.1 GW of firm and conditional orders placed. Offshore construction work is expected to start at sites larger than those worked on in 2015, such as Iberdrola’s Wikinger wind farm in Germany and E.ON’s Rampion in the UK, meaning that overall average wind farm sizes will increase in 2016. Average turbine size will also increase as the industry develops larger models. Once completed, the six offshore projects currently under construction will increase installed capacity by a further 1.9 GW, bringing the cumulative capacity in Europe to 12.9 GW. EWEA has identified 26.4 GW of consented offshore wind farms in Europe that could be constructed over the next decade. A total of 63.5 GW of projects are understood to be in the planning phase.

  • 21. 21The European offshore wind industry - key trends and statistics 2015 Finance Five new projects and one re-financing (Belwind) were recorded in 2015. The general trend of easing loan terms continued in 2015, with three factors at play. The liquidity in the financial markets, the low interest rate environment, and the considerable experience gained throughout a decade have all contributed to the competitiveness of offshore wind in the infrastructure sector. Commercial banks are willing to take a larger share of financing. Debt-to-equity ratios remain largely in the margins of 70:30. However, there is sufficient appetite from the financial sector to push the margins further on the debt side, with many international names. The larger capacity size of projects has increased financing needs. As a result, multilateral backing remains important as a form of risk sharing on projects. Notably in 2015, the European Investment Bank (EIB) directly committed €817m for offshore wind projects under the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI). The EIB has been involved this year in the financing of Galloper (336 MW), Nobelwind (165 MW), and Nordergruende (111 MW) offshore wind farms. However, certain projects have progressed without multilateral backing as risks are better understood. Nordsee One became the first project to be completed without the presence of any multilateral financial institution.

In total, 2.8 GW have been divested in 2015, compared to 1.8 GW divested in 2014. The current trend of increasing project size, cost, and distance from the shore are all factors that have contributed to this peak volume of capacity divested as part of recycling capital. Partnerships are turning into a key strategy to free up capital from the balance sheets through the sale of project stakes.

  • 23. 23The European offshore wind industry - key trends and statistics 2015 Finance One of the main developments in 2015 was the diversification of the financial structures employed during construction and operation project stages. Project bonds are emerging as a competitive lending tool compared to the more established sources of corporate debt or project finance. The Gode Wind 1 (330 MW) project bond became the first of its kind issued within the offshore wind sector. The bond was issued by Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) to finance their 50% stake acquisition from DONG Energy in the currently under-construction project. The €780m deal was supported by GIP, an infrastructure fund, with €230m in equity finance. A group of institutional investors, with Talanx as cornerstone lender, subscribed to the project bond. Later in the year came the refinancing of Meerwind Süd Ost (288 MW) offshore wind farm. Having previously reached financial close in 2011, Meerwind Süd Ost is now in the operational stage. The transaction of €960m provided windows of opportunity for new investors to emerge. Transaction highlights: project bond issuance Transmission assets Total investment requirements for transmission assets in 2015 reached €2bn, including refinancing. €1.9bn was raised through commercial debt, out of which €1.5bn was through bond issuances. In Germany alone, Dutch grid operator TenneT raised €1bn for DolWin 1 transmission line through a green bond issuance that was twice oversubscribed. With the offshore wind sector, transmission lines have also evolved into a strategic asset class due to their inflation linked, stable revenue streams. Capitalising on this low risk exposure and solid credit quality, transmission asset sponsors have been able to utilise the liquidity in the capital markets to finance their transactions.
