Shoreline’s software solutions are currently deployed by more than 30GW of wind project development and operations across Europe, Asia, and the U.S. The new funds will drive Shoreline’s further growth in the U.S. and APAC, and expand the company’s feature set for lifecycle asset optimization. More specifically, Shoreline plans to increase staffing to facilitate further development and distribution of its modeling and management platforms, Design™ – the industry leading pre-construction wind farm planning, operation and maintenance simulation tool, and Execution™ – the integrated, module-based enterprise platform for managing construction and asset management of renewable assets.
Since 2014, Shoreline’s native designed SaaS solutions deliver the essential, data-driven insights wind farm developers, operators, OEMs, contractors, and consultants need to make wind energy more cost efficient throughout the entire wind farm lifecycle. With Shoreline, project construction, operation, maintenance, and decommissioning can be optimized based on resource availability, potentially resulting in substantial OPEX savings.
“Right now, Shoreline is perfectly positioned to experience exponential growth in lockstep with the rising global demand for renewable energy,” said Ole-Erik Vestøl Endrerud, CEO of Shoreline Wind. “Wind and other renewables will be the energy delivery systems of the future, but truly out-competing traditional energy sources will require significant cost and resource optimization throughout the entire lifecycle, and we’re the only SaaS provider in the market with the industry knowledge and unique patented simulation technology proven to drive down construction and O&M costs.”
“We believe Shoreline is best-positioned to enable faster and cheaper growth of offshore wind development,” said Geoff Eisenberg, partner at EIF. “There is an ever-increasing need for process improvement, cost reduction, and productivity optimization in this industry, made even more urgent by our collective need to increase the pace of renewable energy deployment on a global scale. Ultimately, with its market-leading position, Shoreline Wind should become the standard software for project design, construction, and O&M for the global renewable power industry. We’re excited to partner with Shoreline Wind and help the company achieve its achieve its full potential.”
Increasingly ambitious wind energy installation and energy production goals are being announced globally. According to a recent forecast, global wind power capacity is expected to expand 9% by 2030, with planned installations in China and the U.S. leading the trend*. Wind farm developers and operators are increasingly reliant on smart simulation solutions to virtually plan and optimize construction and operation, and subsequently deploy and manage the assets using digital solutions, in order to maximize return on investment in what is an increasingly cost-competitive market.
