Ocean Winds has renewed its market intelligence contract with Spinergie to enhance project planning and execution across its global offshore wind portfolio.
The company, jointly owned by EDP Renewables and Engie, said the partnership provides critical insight to navigate challenges including rising costs, volatile supply chains and limited vessel availability.
Spinergie’s market intelligence platform offers real-time and historical data on offshore installation and maintenance campaigns, allowing developers to identify and secure suitable construction vessels ahead of time.
Ocean Winds said the tool enables detailed benchmarking of key metrics such as days per turbine and days per foundation, helping to measure performance against industry standards and apply lessons from previous projects.
The platform’s open data architecture allows Ocean Winds to integrate Spinergie’s intelligence with its own internal datasets for more tailored project analysis, it added.
Ocean Winds chief EPCI officer Oscar Diaz said: “Spinergie enables us to benchmark our project plans against the broader market. We can more readily identify vessel opportunities and stay a step ahead of the tightening supply chain with reliable availability and performance intelligence.
“We value Spinergie’s ongoing support and expertise and look forward to continuing this trusted collaboration.”
Spinergie head of client success Fabien Scemama said: “There is no room for guesswork in today’s offshore wind market. Developers need accurate vessel availability and performance benchmarking that they can rely on to make impactful decisions.
“Ocean Winds is proving that combining their own expertise and operational data with intuitive market intelligence is the only way to build projects that can withstand supply chain volatility and deliver without delays.”
Ocean Winds currently manages 17 secured offshore wind projects across eight countries.
