Securing the front-line of the offshore energy transition - systems for offshore wind security

Aegir Insights analysis: A wide range of surveillance and defense solutions can be implemented today, to strengthen offshore wind supply and grid resilience

What mitigating measurements can be integrated and what is the economic impact?

Recent geopolitical tensions and sabotage incidents targeting critical energy infrastructure have elevated security to the top of Europe’s political agenda.

With the increasing penetration of offshore wind in the European electricity mix, malicious attacks on one or more offshore wind farms could have significant impacts on security of supply and, consequently, on the economies of both the affected country and its neighbors.

This has led to growing attention from both authorities and developers on measures to enhance the security of such vital infrastructure.

How could this new geopolitical environment impact the offshore wind build-out moving forward and how could both government and developers make sure these assets are secured effectively?

Aegir Insights' latest Insights report, written in collaboration with Tue Lippert, CEO at Heimdal Critical Infrastructure assesses:

🔹 the rising importance of offshore wind to security of supply and the evolving risk landscape,

🔹 available surveillance and defense solutions for strengthening offshore infrastructure,

🔹 and a quantitative analysis of the economic impacts on LCoE and equity IRR when integrating these surveillance and defense systems.
