I'm your host, Rosie Barnes, and I have with me today, Maya Malik, who is the co founder of KIMAenergy. Thanks for joining us, Maya. Thanks, Rosie. Happy to be here. So today we're going to be talking all about local content and how countries can try to get more manufacturing in their region when they're going to be installing a lot of wind energy. So I know this is an area that you've worked in a lot. Would you be able to just give us a bit of background about the kinds of work that you've done in this industry over the years? Maya Malik: Yeah, sure. So I have a 20 year background in energy and offshore wind. Actually I first started in, in petrochemicals working in Australia and Europe and Asia. On the construction projects and 13 years ago, I moved to offshore wind. So I worked on projects in the UK, in Europe and Asia. And then together with my business partner, we started up KIMAenergy, which we are an advisory company focused on offshore wind in APAC. And I guess our niche is doing offshore wind in new markets. For most of our careers, we've basically worked on projects that are, pioneering in nature in the countries that we've worked in. Now we are based in Melbourne and yeah, continuing to support other developers with their projects in new markets. Rosemary Barnes: Okay. So you've worked a lot on a lot of different offshore wind projects all around the globe. I know that from the conversation that we've had before, before this recording. Can you tell me about yeah, just a little bit of A few examples of some interesting offshore wind projects that you've worked on. Maya Malik: Most interesting and I guess most impactful for me was working on projects in Taiwan. I'd worked on projects in Europe but there, the industry developed quite organically over, a period of two decades projects, getting incrementally bigger and technology incrementally improving. And Taiwan, I would say was the first market outside of Northern Europe to implement offshore wind and also was doing it in a way to accelerate the industrialization. So go from, doing commercial scale projects over a period of multiple years to, a handful of years. Yeah I I moved there together with another colleague from my company, and we were essentially there to win projects and, do a show in for the first time in in Taiwan. And yeah, it was a really It was a cool experience. Yeah, just really not having, the suppliers, not having the experienced people on the ground and just, it was down to, you and what you knew and, the resources you could personally call on. To do to do projects. Yeah, it was a real growth experience, I think for all of us in the industry at that time. But yeah, super, super great achievement. Rosemary Barnes: You're Australian, but you started in Australia. And then Europe,

Pardalote Consulting - https://www.pardaloteconsulting.comWeather Guard Lightning Tech - www.weatherguardwind.comIntelstor - https://www.intelstor.com Allen Hall: YouTube star Alex Choi, known for his car stunt videos, has been charged with, by federal authorities, for orchestrating a dangerous video involving a helicopter and a Lamborghini. The 24 year old content creator allegedly directed a video called Destroying a Lamborghini with Fireworks, in which two individuals in a helicopter shot fireworks at a speeding Lamborghini in the El Mirage. Dry Lake Bed in San Bernardino County, of course, California. Troy faces a maximum of 10 years in federal prison if convicted of causing the displacement of an explosive or incendiary device on an aircraft. Now, Rosemary, I assume you have seen this, being the YouTube star that you are. You have seen this video of them shooting off Roman candles from this helicopter? Rosemary Barnes: It hasn't come up in my suggested videos, no. Allen Hall: I've seen it like 12 times. Joel Saxum: Yeah, I've seen it and it's awesome. I feel bad for these guys. They created a cool video. But if you go by the letter of the law, there's a lot of things illegal about this. It's like the same concept of if you shoot a drone down with a firearm, you can get the same exact penalty as if you shot down a plane with people in it. Because they're both aircraft that are covered under law by the FAA. So the FAA has got some pretty stinch stringent laws, and if you don't tow the line, you can get in a lot of trouble, as evidenced by This awesome video of shooting fireworks from a fire, from a helicopter at a Lamborghini in the desert. Philip Totaro: If precedent is anything, we had a guy in Santa Barbara County who, during COVID, took up his little, tiger cub plane or whatever single engine prop, and did a YouTube video of him crashing his plane. He got six years. These guys can probably expect a little more than six. Allen Hall: Wow. Don't mess around with airplanes. I think that's the whole point of this is don't do stupid stuff around airplanes. They're not toys, boys and girls. They are definitely not toys. And the Wild West is over. Maybe you can do that in Australia, but you sure can't do that in the United States anymore. Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. I'm Allen Hall, and here's this week's headlines. The International Energy Agency's latest report reveals the clean energy investment landscape across top countries and regions. The United States invested 280 billion in clean energy in 2023, up from 200 billion in 2020. Europe leads with the highest clean energy to fossil fuels investment ratio, spending more than 10 euros on clean energy for every euro invested. And fossil fuels. China saw the most robust growth in solar, wind and nuclear power, while India's clean energy investments reached 68 billion in 2023, a 40 percent increase from the 2016 to 2020 average. In related news, the increasing occurrence of negative electricity prices in Europe is raising concerns among investors about the profitability. Renewable energy projects. Negative pricing has become more frequent as sol...

Pardalote Consulting - https://www.pardaloteconsulting.comWeather Guard Lightning Tech - www.weatherguardwind.comIntelstor - https://www.intelstor.com Allen Hall: I'm Allen Hall, president of Weather Guard Lightning Tech, and I'm here with the founder and CEO of IntelStor, Phil Totaro, and the chief commercial officer of Weather Guard, Joel Saxum, and this is your News Flash. News Flash is brought to you by our friends at IntelStor. If you want market intelligence that generates revenue, then book a demonstration of IntelStor at IntelStor.com. UK based North Star has secured up to 500 million in debt investment to fast track tech's goal of adding 40 hybrid service providers. Operation vehicles to its fleet by 2040. The funding package includes term facilities and committed resources from institutional investors and banks. The capital infusion will support North Star's continued growth in the offshore wind market. The company currently has several new belt SOVs in operation and under construction for major offshore wind projects to fill 40 SOVs can't come soon enough. Philip Totaro: Indeed. And they've, as you mentioned, they've already got a fleet of. SOVs operational for various projects around Europe. These new ones where, I mean, 40, by 2040 is, is quite ambitious. That's, one, one per more than one per year. This is obviously going to come in handy for what the industry needs. And more importantly, it'll give them the option to be able to re flag or re domesticate those vessels for use in, other markets where they're going to be needed, like the U. S., potentially, again, up to a point where we have Jones Act issues or markets like South Korea, Brazil Taiwan, etc. So, it's much needed. Joel Saxum: So, for those of you who don't know, or new to offshore wind, or haven't followed the program before, an SOV is basically a floating hotel for all the offshore wind workers. It has a lot of deck space, usually has a small crane, not a big work crane, but enough to move things around on deck, or, or transition some, some gear that's needed, some tools, or some equipment to the transition piece on an offshore ship. Wind turbine. So basically, these are the big vessels that kind of are resident out in a wind farm. They'll go out for a couple weeks at a time until they have to do crew changes. Sometimes even doing crew changes at sea where the vessel just stays out there and a little transfer boat comes and moves people around. But these are the big vessels. These SOVs are the things that make the wind farms tick offshore. Without them they're not going to stay up and running for very long. Allen Hall: The International Energy Agency reports that investment in clean energy technologies, including renewables, will be twice that of fossil fuels this year. Global spending on sectors such as wind, solar, grids, EV, nuclear, and energy storage is expected to reach about 2 trillion in 2024, while oil, gas, and coal receive dollars. However, the IEA warns a persistent low investment in clean energy in emerging and developing economies due to high costs of capital. And Phil, we've seen this play out in Asia at the moment and in Africa. Philip Totaro: Yes,
