Offshore wind energy: The electricity surcharge estimated at 1.1 billion euros per year


15 / 05 / 2012 meretmarine.com

The Energy Regulatory Commission has estimated the additional cost qu'entraînera from 2020, for consumers, the production of electricity from offshore wind farms. CRE estimated that "the resulting public service charges would reach around 1.1 billion euros per year from 2020". These charges are in principle covered by the Contribution to the public electricity service, taken from the electricity bill..
According to the opinion of the CRE, overload 1.1 billion corresponds to an annual cost of 160 euros per megawatt hour of electricity producedCompared to an estimated electricity market prices in euros per megawatt hour in 66.5 2020. CSPE represented last year 42 euros on average per consumer (all categories, personal and business) or 8% of a typical annual electricity bill.

More we never assess the perpetual overcharge of a Fukushima-Tcherno in France and waste, left to our descendants at all times !!!!
We never assess the additional cost of building new nuclear power plants, nor even the additional cost of doubling the price of EPR !!

This kind of argument is a pure scam and manipulation of minds, who only sees the short term and not the reality in the long run, which will fall on us sooner or later, with a nuclear disaster, costing multiples of 1000 billion €, sooner or later, with as much certainty as the observation, that men cannot be infallible in perpetuity !!

Exactly as we forget to say that RES only represents a small part of the use of the CSPE!

It is not the CSPE which also partly pays the EDF Works Council ??? CE of EDF = 1st landowner in holiday resorts in France ...

(Budget: in the 500 Million per year of which another part subsidized directly by the government !!)

No.
the Works Council is financed by a percentage of EDF's turnover. No CSPE.
It is 1% of the turnover which feeds this works council.

In my box it's the same.

Which is very, very expensive ... and which is therefore financed by customers ...

In my box it's the same.

You're lucky, because it's extremely rare.
The "rule" is rather to have a budget that is based on the payroll.

As much for me. It is a percentage of the payroll. Indeed.

Offshore wind power: A second call for tenders launched by December

17 Sep 2012 meretmarine

Saturday at the Environmental Conference, Jean-Marc Ayrault confirmed that a second call for tenders for the establishment of offshore wind farms would be launched by December.
Several sites would be affected. We are talking in particular of that located between Noirmoutier and the island of Yeu, as well as that of Tréport. But we are also talking about other areas in the Atlantic, Channel and North Sea.

For the record, four sites were selected and allocated to the consortia led by EDF EN and Iberdrola as part of the first call for tenders: Guérande, Saint-Brieuc, Courseulles-sur-Mer and Fécamp. Le Tréport, which was part of this first round, had been declared unsuccessful.

Personally, I wonder about the relevance of subsidizing this unprofitable mismanagement, given that much more energy could be saved by transferring the same amount of cash to insulation work or other high energy return expenditure per euro. ..

But I'm just a liberal bastard

Areva has a plan to produce 100% French wind technology

15 Nov 2012 enerzine

Areva Chairman of the Management Board, Luc Oursel, presented yesterday the progress of the group's industrial plan with the aim of producing a 100% French wind turbine in the Haute-Normandie region, on the occasion of the opening of the first offices Areva in Le Havre


Since the award in April 2012 of the Saint-Brieuc bay field to the Iberdrola / Eole RES duo, and the choice of Areva technology to supply 100 5 MW wind turbines, the nuclear giant is working on the construction of 2 plants. manufacture of nacelles and blades in Le Havre.

Suppliers of essential components such as the companies Moventas, NTN SNR, Fouré Lagadec, ABB, Plastinov, say they are ready to establish themselves near the group's factories on the Quai Joannès Couvert. This industrial ecosystem around the offshore wind activity will create more than 750 jobs and structure a competitive French export offer.

In addition, the Areva group indicates that it has established numerous partnerships with Norman and Breton SMEs in order to be able to offer a wind turbine produced entirely in France. Thus, the Areva team is expanding in Le Havre with the appointment of Factory, Purchasing and Training-HR project managers and the creation of a research and development unit.

With its proven technology for more than 3 years of operation in the North Sea, Areva hopes to win additional offshore wind farms during the next French and foreign tenders.

"By deploying a robust industrial plan in Haute-Normandie, backed by commercial opportunities in France as well as in the South of the United Kingdom or in Belgium, Areva is actively contributing to the reindustrialisation of our territories and the export of our know-how in energy "said Luc Oursel.

Areva and STX blow together on the offshore wind market

14 Dec 2012 New Factory

The French nuclear group and the ex-Chantiers de l'Atlantique will offer an integrated offer associating Areva's offshore electric turbines with the pillars and foundations of STX.

From January 2013, the two manufacturers will work together to secure a generous share of the marine wind market. "For us, it is a question of optimizing the association of foundations with the electric turbine", underlined the president of Areva Renouvelables Louis-François Durret during a joint press conference with STX in Nantes, this Friday 14 December. .

Their first joint project will be a call for tenders for a wind farm in Northern Europe on which Areva is "well placed", added Louis-François Durret.



By joining forces, they intend to win new markets both for the Areva electric turbine manufacturing plant in Le Havre and for the wind turbine foundations developed by STX France, based in Saint-Nazaire (Loire-Atlantique ). "We are French companies, the goal is to create a French industrial sector of marine wind power, jobs in France, we are committed to doing so and in this area France can catch up with a certain delay thanks to the Areva's expertise in wind power in Germany, "commented the Areva manager.

"The manufacture of the pillars of a marine wind farm (around 80 wind turbines, editor's note) would represent for us the equivalent in working hours of an order for a liner", specified for STX France Frédéric Grizaud, CEO of STX Solutions. A significant challenge in the current context for STX France. Since 2008, the company has encountered financial difficulties. Its current order book is reduced to a liner for the German group Hapag LLyod Cruises (available at the end of April), to another for the Italian MSC (mid-March 2013) and to two military ships for Russia (2014 and 2015) .

Alstom launches the construction of an offshore wind turbine construction pole

21 Jan 2013 New Factory

In 2014, the group will have two units in Montoir-de-Bretagne, one for the alternators, the other for the nacelles of the Haliade, its 6 megawatt marine wind turbine.

Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault and Alstom CEO Patrick Kron laid the foundation stone of the industrial hub of Montoir-de-Bretagne, near Saint-Nazaire (Loire-Atlantique) on Monday morning, January 21. "Alstom had not built a factory in France for thirty years," said Patrick Kron. The site will include two units, one manufacturing the nacelles and the other the alternators for the Haliade 150, the Alstom marine wind turbine. The site will be operational in 2014. The complex will occupy 25 m² covered over 000 hectares and will reach a production speed of 14 wind turbines per year at cruising speed.

For the time being, Alstom is producing its first Haliades on a rental site in Saint-Nazaire. Alstom will eventually provide 300 direct jobs in Montoir-de-Bretagne as well as an engineering center for 200 people nearby. The group is counting on 2 jobs, including subcontracting. By including the factories of Cherbourg (Manche), which will manufacture the masts and the blades, the group confirms an investment plan of 000 million euros in offshore wind.

LM Wind, Rollix Defontaine and General Electric are among Alstom's industrial partners on this project. The Haliade 150, a new generation of 6 megawatt wind turbines, incorporates "Pure Torque" technology which reduces the voltages on the alternator. It is therefore described as a robust turbine requiring little maintenance. This turbine will equip the EDF consortium, the winner of the first call for tenders for offshore wind farms in France.

Almost 240 wind turbines are to be built for this consortium alone. But the first series are intended for export. The group does not specify for which client, and discussions are not finalized. The first Haliade begins its last phase of tests on the Carnet site (Loire-Atlantique) with a view to its certification. Two efficiency criteria remain to be measured in the coming months: performance and quality of power. A second turbine will be submerged during the first half of 2013 in Belgium, within the Belwind wind farm, 45 km offshore from the port of Ostend. It will make it possible to test specific maintenance operations and procedures in maritime conditions, in order to complete the analysis of technical performance.

In addition, Alstom is part of the business group led by Dominion Virginia Power, which has just obtained a grant of 4 million dollars from the American secretariat for energy (DOE). This will allow the group to carry out all of the engineering studies, site assessment and planning for a pilot offshore wind farm project in the state of Virginia.
