Offshore substations (OSS) are essential components to enable and grow the offshore wind industry. As they are one of the longest lead time items, securing supply at the right time is an important procurement decision.
In some markets this decision is made directly by the project developer, but in others, projects are dependent on Transmission System Operators (TSO's) and their ability to provide the connection platform in time.
OSS Order Book by Aegir Insights
Aegir Insights' OSS Order Book maps out orders on offshore substations globally, including key contractors, high-level technical specifications and timelines from order to completion across markets.
The data can be used to visualize maturity level of offshore wind projects connected to firm orders on OSS scope. Most Firm Orders are connected to platforms for wind farms that have taken Final Investment Decision (FID), but several OSS orders – led by both developers and by TSO’s – have placed firm orders for offshore substations on relatively immature wind projects, including some that are still Government Auction Areas. A necessary move to manage lead times.
Clients can explore this and much more in Aegir Insights’ Offshore Substations Order Book, including:
🔹High-voltage alternative current (HVAC) and high-voltage direct current (HVDC) platforms installed and ordered (excl. China),
🔹Order status, contracting parties, timing and technical specifications,
🔹Track records and market shares, as well as historical delivery times and planned deliveries of substation manufacturers,
🔹Comparison of OSS project timelines with offshore wind projects and their relative maturity levels.
Combining these insights from the OSS Order Book with offshore wind farm data enables Aegir Insights’ clients to access and review project progress and risk on either side of the procurement spectrum, helping to identify potential risks in timing on either side of the OSS delivery and grid connection.
