INA, d.d. predano transformira svoje tradicionalne operacije temeljene na fosilnim gorivima prema niskougljičnom i održivom poslovnom modelu. Za postizanje zadanih ciljeva Europskog zelenog plana, transformacija industrije je neizbježna i smatramo je velikom prilikom. Osiguravanje sigurne i pristupačne opskrbe energijom uz postizanje klimatskih ciljeva potaknula je sve brži razvoj tehnologije za iskorištavanje energije vjetra. U tom kontekstu INA, d.d. zainteresirana je za izgradnju odobalne vjetroelektrane u sjevernom Jadranu. INA je provela prvu kampanju mjerenja vjetra na moru u Hrvatskoj, na sjevernom Jadranu. Cilj i opseg kampanje mjerenja vjetra bili su procijeniti potencijal vjetra na određenom području, izmjeriti brzinu i smjer vjetra, a zatim ga interpretirati u studiji vjetra. Kampanja mjerenja karakteristika vjetra započela je 28. ožujka 2022. LiDAR uređaji za mjerenje vjetra postavljeni su na Ininim platformama Izabela Sjever i Ivana A. Mjerenja brzine i smjera vjetra praćena su 12 mjeseci kako bi se dobio bolji uvid i pokušalo razumjeti karakteristike vjetra na samoj lokaciji te dati procjenu resursa vjetra koja može biti komercijalno isplativa, uzimajući u obzir industrijske standarde. Da bismo mogli bolje procijeniti tehničke potrebe, šire područje sjevernog Jadrana, opcije za subvencije, procese izdavanja dozvola i identificirati sve dodatne rizike i/ili potencijale izrada studije izvedivosti prirodni je sljedeći korak. Nakon objave CEF (Connecting Europe Facility) Energy 2022, INA se prijavila na Poziv za izradu pripremnih studija za prekogranične projekte obnovljivih izvora energije (CB RES) (CEF Energy 2022 – Call for Preparatory Studies for Cross-border Renewable Energy Projects | The European Maritime Spatial Planning Platforma (europa.eu)) za provedbu istraživačkih zadataka za identifikaciju i razvoj glavnih parametara planiranog CB RES projekta i formaliziranje mehanizma prekogranične suradnje između Hrvatske i Italije u siječnju 2023. Inin ADRIA Wind Project odabran je za sufinanciranje i Ugovor o dodjeli bespovratnih sredstava potpisan je 28. lipnja 2023. CEF Energy će sufinancirati pripremne studije koje će pomoći u procjeni izvedivosti potencijalne odobalne vjetroelektrane u području sjevernog Jadrana u blizini Hrvatske i Italije. Studija uključuje tehničku, financijsku i komercijalnu procjenu potencijala vjetra na području sjevernog Jadrana. Tehnička evaluacija, koja će biti u fokusu ovoga rada, uključit će preliminarnu tehničku studiju, procjenu električnih i resursa lokacije, procjenu utjecaja na okoliš i društvo te će procijeniti potencijalnu izgradnju interkonekcije između Hrvatske i Italije. Ako je ishod studija pozitivan i ovisno o konačnoj odluci o ulaganju u projekt, izgradnja vjetroelektrane značajno će poboljšati sigurnost opskrbe energijom u zemlji i povećati kapacitete za proizvodnju obnovljive energije uz smanjenje CO2 otiska.
INA, d.d. is committed to transform our traditional fossil fuel-based operations into a low-carbon, sustainable business model. In order to achieve the set goals of the European Green Plan, the transformation of the industry is inevitable, and we consider it a great opportunity. The urgency of ensuring secure and affordable energy supplies while meeting climate targets has propelled wind power development into a new phase of even faster growth. In this context, INA d.d. is interested in exploring and evaluating the potential for construction of an offshore wind farm (OWF) in the Northern Adriatic Sea. The first offshore wind measurement campaign in Croatia was conducted in North Adriatic by INA. The aim and scope of the wind campaign were to assess the wind potential at the designated area, to measure wind speed and direction, and then to interpret it in a wind study. The Wind Campaign started on 28 March 2022. LiDAR wind measurement devices have been installed on INA platforms Izabela North and Ivana A. The measurements of wind speeds and direction were monitored for 12 months to provide a better understanding of the wind regime on the site itself and a full bankable wind resource assessment considering the industry standards. To be able to better evaluate technical needs, a wider area in Adriatic, options for subsidies, permitting processes, and identify any additional risk or/and upside potentials pre-feasibility study is the natural next step. Following the publication of the 2022 CEF (Connecting Europe Facility) Energy, INA applied for the Call for preparatory studies for cross-border renewable energy (CB RES) projects (CEF Energy 2022 – Call for Preparatory Studies for Cross-border Renewable Energy Projects | The European Maritime Spatial Planning Platform (europa.eu)) to implement exploratory tasks to identify and develop the main parameters of the planned CB RES project and to formalize the cross-border cooperation mechanism between Croatia and Italy in January 2023. INA’s ADRIA Wind Project was selected for funding and the Grant Agreement was signed on 28 June 2023. CEF Energy will co-fund the preparatory studies that will help to assess the feasibility of a potential offshore wind farm in the Northern Adriatic coastal zone near Croatia and Italy. The preparatory study includes a technical, financial, and commercial assessment. The technical assessment, which will be the main objective of this paper, will include a preliminary technical study, electrical and site resource assessments, an environmental and social impact screening, and will assess the potential implementation of interconnection between Croatia and Italy. If the studies’ outcome is positive, and subject to the project final investment decision, the construction of the wind farm will significantly improve countries security of energy supply and increase renewable energy generation capacity while reducing CO2 footprint.

INA’s ADRIA Wind Project was selected for funding and the Grant Agreement was signed on 28 June 2023. The Adria Wind Project consists of study preparation started on 1 September 2023 and the duration of twenty (20) months. Through using preparatory studies, INA aims to be on the CEF map to apply for future Calls for equipment and works co-financing. The preparatory study is consisted of four different pillars: ■ The technical assessment includes a preliminary technical study, electrical and site resource assessments, an environmental and social impact screening, and assess the potential implementation of interconnection between Croatia and Italy. ■ The financial assessment covers the cost-benefit, risks, and opportunities analysis of the potential CB RES project. ■ The commercial assessment run in parallel with the financial assessment. It analyses the market demand for electricity as well as the electricity price movements and monitor global energy trends on the market through a feed-in premium study and a Power Purchase Agreement assessment. ■ Stakeholder engagement fosters communication and stakeholder involvement activities and cooperation activities between Croatia and Italy, including the assessment of cost-benefit sharing.
