We are involved in the following national and international offshore innovation programs: High Five, MEGAVIND, TP Wind and Carbon Trust Offshore Wind Accelerator. These are all designed to reduce the costs of wind technology and improve the profitability of offshore wind power.
Under DONG Energy’s own program High Five, we are developing standard concepts and products for use in the planning, construction and maintenance of offshore wind farms.
Under the Danish wind power platform MEGAVIND, we are identifying and mapping the areas in which research, development and demonstration projects have the greatest cost reduction potential.
TP Wind is a European wind power research and development platform that sets the agenda and advises the European Commission on wind energy issues.
Lastly, DONG Energy is a partner in the UK Carbon Trust OWA programme, which is co-funded by the UK Government. The objective of the programme is to promote research and development that can reduce the price of wind energy by 10% in the period 2010-2020.
