HAMBURG, Germany — DNV has updated its service specification certification DNV-SE-0190 to cover certification of energy islands and offshore wind farms in Poland.
The country is set for rapid growth in offshore wind and the recently published Polish Maritime Safety Act, which defines country-specific requirements for certification.
The new Appendix in DNV’s service specification addresses these needs, and compliance with common international practice, to certify Poland’s offshore wind power plants.
Kim Sandgaard-Mørk, executive vice president for Renewables Certification at DNV, said, “There was a strong need from the industry to include both topics in our service specification, which will support our customers to meet growth targets for offshore wind in a safe and reliable way...
“In times of ambitious renewables targets and cost reduction, scaling and faster implementation needs, the independent evaluation is of high importance to prove the state-of-the-art level of safety, quality and reliability for offshore wind assets.”
Fabio Pollicino, director Service Area Renewables Certification at DNV, added, "Several stakeholders will benefit from our guideline for energy islands and offshore wind farms in Poland, providing transparency to organizations involved and supporting a faster energy transition.”
Energy islands are large-scale offshore renewable energy conversion and transmission plants, and they are currently at the conceptual stage or in some cases under development.
