Offshore Wind Accelerator: Offshore Charging Standardisation

Call for entries from companies and consortia interested to examine the potential for standardisation of charging connection within the OSW sector.

The main objectives of this work are to: 

  • Assess the market for potential universal connectors with the potential to be utilised for offshore wind (OSW) and gain learnings from parallel industry sectors (such as automotive, ferries).
  • Propose a standard for universal charging interface for battery electric CTV’s to ensure a common standard for future development of offshore charging.
  • Promote Uptake of a universal offshore charging connector to the wider OSW and maritime and support development of any future applicable ISO standards. 

The deadline for clarification questions has passed. Responses to the clarification questions received are provided below.

The closing date to receive tender submissions is 17:30 BST 4 June 2021. 

All clarification questions and tender submissions should be sent electronically, by their respective deadlines, to Alistair Morris at alistair.morris@carbontrust.com.
