The ‘Free Movement of Electricity’ campaign As the European Union debates the ‘infrastructure package’ on financing and permitting Europe’s grids in the next few months, EWEA and the other supporters of the ‘Free Movement of Electricity’ statement (opposite) are highlighting the urgent need for a single internal power market and a network infrastructure to facilitate it. Support the campaign at EWEA OFFSHORE 2011 at the EWEA stand, 9130, in Hall 9. More information: www.freedomforelectricity.eu

New publications at EWEA OFFSHORE 2011 – discover the latest research On the first day of EWEA OFFSHORE 2011, EWEA is launching its major new offshore report. The report shows that 141 GW of offshore wind energy capacity is planned in Europe – around 50 times what is currently installed. That is huge investor interest. On the second day of EWEA OFFSHORE 2011, the latest issue of EWEA’s magazine, Wind Directions, will be published. It contains a special feature on offshore wind energy and on substructures. It also features interviews with the Dutch Energy Minister and EU Climate Commissioner Hedegaard. Pick up a copy of the report on Tuesday, and of Wind Directions on Wednesday, at the EWEA stand (Stand 9130 in Hall 9) and the EWEA Publication Point (Stand 11680 in Hall 11).

10:00 – 12:00 OPENING SESSION PLENARY AND PANEL SESSIONS ROOM: AUDITORIUM

Leading political and industry fi gures will address the question of whether the European offshore industry will replicate the success of onshore wind technology, in terms of market deployment, cost-competitiveness and technology maturity? Through keynote speeches and moderated debates, speakers will consider the prospects for growth and discuss which facilitators are needed from Governments, the European Union, industry itself and the fi nancial sector.

Several concepts currently exist, but how do they compare in terms of quality, reliability, supply and cost? This panel session will focus on a major issue for the offshore industry, namely the use of direct drive technology versus gearboxes, and the this choice has upon turbine weight, cost and maintenance.

EVENT GUIDE EWEA OFFSHORE 2011 61 Free movement of electricity

Twenty five years after the Single European Act, Europe urgently needs greater freedom of movement in electricity: a single internal power market and a network infrastructure to facilitate it.

A single electricity market will increase competition, improve security of supply, help deliver climate goals and integrate modern energy technologies including renewables.

Whilst development of a single power market is progressing, development of the infrastructure urgently needs a very major boost. To bring freedom of movement to and enhance cross-border trade in Europe’s electricity, the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers must:
