Offshore renewable energy Greece - 14 november 2024

About the event

Intec, Bluesign and Akrocean have joined forces in 2023 to organize the first Greek offshore renewable energy conference in Athens, in order to share return of experience from active players abroad and present solutions contributing to the acceleration of the offshore wind development in Greece.
The purpose of the event is to discuss widely about the Greek offshore wind industry and especially needs at early stage for its development such as local content needs, international return on experience, value of offshore data, structuring of the supply chain, skills required, legislative requirements, project local acceptance.
Building on the success of the first edition, they are renewing the organization of the conference which will be held on Thursday 14 november 2024 at the Eugenides Foundation in Athens.

Intec is a leading supplier of digital solutions, products and services to the Greek Industrial market for more than 40 years. Recently, Intec has been focusing in Renewables as well, through partnerships with leading companies in the field, targeting to accelerate the energy transition in Greece.

Bluesign is an agency dedicated to the energy transition, actively working to develop the Offshore Renewable Energy sector both in France and internationally. Bluesign organizes each year, Seanergy, France’s international forum on Offshore Renewable Energy and also collaborates with industry stakeholders throughout the year to assist them with communication strategies and event organization projects.

Akrocean is a French player in marine renewable energies providing environmental data collected at sea as a service.

The potential of offshore wind energy in Greece - Keynote
Leveraging non-price criteria to drive innovation, sustainability, and strengthen local supply chains - Panel discussion
Non-price criteria can be used to reward factors such as innovation and sustainability, differentiate and strengthen local supply chains, and alleviate the growing pressure for cost reductions. It is important to address how to ensure these criteria are effective, by setting clear and objective standards, avoiding overlap with existing policies, and maintaining the pace of deployment.
Optimizing offshore wind tenders through technical assessment - Panel discussion
To boost the competitiveness of offshore wind tenders, several countries, including France, have reduced risks by providing developers with environmental and geotechnical data. What are the key insights and potential improvements for applying this approach effectively in the Greek and French markets?
Overcoming maritime challenges and port infrastructure for offshore wind - Panel discussion
The offshore wind industry depends on a range of maritime and port resources, and the French experience reveals challenges in securing appropriate vessels. It is essential to adapt port infrastructures to accommodate offshore wind activities while balancing traditional uses. Anticipating maritime and port infrastructures investments during the early stages development is crucial.
