Orange Delta, Bluespring join forces for European-Asian offshore renewable projects

Singapore’s Orange Delta and the Dutch Bluespring have entered into a collaboration to offer a one-stop-shop for European-Asian offshore renewable energy projects.

The partnership will see the two companies working together to create new business opportunities in Asia and Europe for their respective partners and clients using their complementary expertise to identify offshore renewable energy opportunities.

According to Bluespring, the partners are set on opening opportunities and sharing their know-how with sector peers to speed up the market introduction, support project delivery, and implement certification services.

“The development of offshore renewable energy solutions is expected to grow exponentially over the next decade. Offshore renewable energy will become the next big contributor towards a global net-zero ambition in 2050. The renewable energy sources of tomorrow are on standby in our oceans waiting to be exploited for the benefit of all”, said Peter Scheijgrond, managing director of Bluespring.

While wind and solar are said to be available 30% of the time, tidal and wave energy can complement them thanks to the more distributed production profiles. Another benefit of offshore renewable energy solutions, especially for vulnerable deltas, is the possibility to integrate wave and tidal energy generation in breakwater and storm surge barriers.

In this way, climate mitigation meets climate adaption to showcase the versatile and adaptable nature of marine energies, Bluespring explained.

“We aim to roll out and get steel in the water“, said Hugo Heitling, managing director of Orange Delta. “It lies within our expertise area to support the fabrication, installation method engineering, and offshore installation of offshore projects in Asian waters. We will build on our strong relations with international and regional stakeholders to offer bespoke services to our clients”.
