Stiesdal Offshore and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners enter into partnership to drive innovation
and cost efficiency in floating offshore wind

Copenhagen, 23 October 2024


Stiesdal Offshore and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), through its fund
Copenhagen Infrastructure V (CI V), today announce a strategic partnership. Together the
parties will work to establish Stiesdal Offshore as a long-term leader in the floating wind
industry.

As part of the partnership, CI V acquires a minority stake in Stiesdal Offshore. The financial
details of the transaction are not disclosed.

Stiesdal Offshore will now initiate a plan to expand its business scope from design and
development of floating foundations to becoming a one-stop shop for floating wind
enablement. This includes offering owner’s engineering services and as well as
comprehensive full-service project support and execution, through active engagement with
customers on every aspect of floating wind projects. The aim is to help customers reduce the
cost and complexity of projects and to accelerate the development of floating offshore wind.

Floating wind is expected to grow significantly between 2030 and 2040 and, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), has the potential to increase the global offshore wind
resource by a factor of 10.

“The right partnership is crucial for us, and I am very happy to welcome CIP on board,” said
Peder Nickelsen, CEO of Stiesdal Offshore. “We have a clear plan to reduce the CAPEX of
floating wind and have developed more than 30 specific initiatives to achieve this goal. This
investment will enable us to accelerate these efforts and strengthen our market position as
we prepare for large-scale commercial deployment of floating offshore wind in the coming
years.”

Michael Hannibal, Partner at CIP said: “We remain committed to floating offshore wind which
we believe will play an important role in the global energy transition. This investment is a
next step in our pursuit of large-scale floating wind projects and together with Stiesdal
Offshore we look forward to work towards advancing floating wind technology, overall project
execution and cost reduction.”

One-stop shop for floating offshore wind projects
Stiesdal Offshore’s proactive engagement with WTG OEMs, certification bodies and other
contractors and suppliers throughout the floating wind project lifecycle leads to viable project
outcomes and significantly reduces project risks for clients. As a one-stop shop for floating
offshore wind projects, the company will provide owner’s engineering solutions regardless of
foundation technology.

Going forward, strengthened by CIP’s support, Stiesdal Offshore will launch a number of
innovative development initiatives aimed at achieving the cost reductions necessary to
enable the floating wind market. By spearheading these innovations and solutions, Stiesdal
Offshore aims to position itself as a key enabler in the highly complex floating wind sector.

Stiesdal Offshore’s TetraSpar floating wind turbine demonstrator has been operating in 200
metres of water off the Norwegian coast since December 2021, with recorded availability of
97.0% and 98.3% in the first two years.
