COPENHAGEN Adidas Superstar 80s Pelle Nere Bianche Oro Saldi , March 10 (Xinhua) -- Three of the biggest companies in offshore wind power industries have initiated a joint declaration here on Tuesday as part of a commitment to reducing costs in the sector.
Denmark's largest energy company Dong Energy, MHI Vestas -- a joint venture between Vestas and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries -- and Siemens Wind Power and Renewables have pledged to undertake joint and individual actions across the whole of the value chain to deliver "major long-term and tangible advancements."
The three companies announced the declaration at the the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) Offshore 2015, the world's largest offshore wind energy conference and exhibition that opened Tuesday in Copenhagen.
Michael Hannibal, CEO of Siemens Wind Power and Renewables, said cost reduction remained a top priority of the offshore wind industry Adidas Superstar Nere Scarpe Saldi , thus the need to create profitable investments for offshore projects independent of subsidies.
"In a united industry, all stakeholders across the whole value chain are equally responsible to contribute and deliver," Hannibal said. "If we all do that, we will win."
DONG Energy Wind Power vice president Claus Hviid Christensen said for offshore wind to realize its full potential, industry players need to continuously reduce the cost of electricity.
"The good news is that we are indeed on the right track Adidas Superstar 2 Nere Saldi , and we are already seeing the industry taking important steps forward with an impressive pace," Christensen said.
"With a clear political framework for the development of offshore wind power after 2020, I am confident that we will meet our target of making offshore wind fully competitive with alternative energy technologies," he added.
According to an offshore wind report released by Ernst & Young, the European offshore wind industry must shed 26 percent of outlays to reach cost-competitiveness with conventional forms of energy by 2023.
The report said that the industry must significantly reduce costs over the next five years through a number of key actions Adidas Superstar 2 Bianche Saldi , outlining where savings can be found.
These include deploying larger turbines to increase energy capture, fostering competition between industrial players, commissioning new projects, and tackling challenges in the supply chain such as construction facilities and installation equipment, according to the report.
"It is no secret that cost reduction is a great challenge that we face in the offshore business; but as we continue to work together, innovate and compete, the sector will face down its trials in the years ahead," Becker said.
"Offshore wind power in Europe will be a major contributor to the continent' s energy security now and over the course of the next decade Adidas Superstar 2 Bianche Nere Saldi ," he added.

BERLIN, Nov. 24 (Xinhua) -- Bayern Munich are looking to the future and focusing on getting ready for 2015 when they keep eyes on Tuesday's match against Manchester City Uomo Adidas Superstar 2 Nere Bianche Saldi , the fifth in the Champions League group E.
There seems little to do for the rest of the year of 2014 as the Bundesliga top dogs are seven point ahead of the chasing pack of VfL Wolfsburg and Borussia Moenchengladbach with 12 matches played, and have a perfect record in the Champions League after four games, eight points ahead of second placed AS Roma and 10 to Man City. The only exception might be watching the draw round of the last 16 on December 15.
But feeling in charge of the domestic league and Champions League group for the moment does not mean the job is done as they would dearly love to take the floor for the ""Grand Finale"" in Berlin in May 2015. Meaning Bayern Munich and their Spanish coach Pep Guardiola know full well they have to prepare for the important games next year when they take on the big boys of the football world who are dreaming the same dream.
For Bayern, it means getting midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger back to full fitness after a long injury break, find a solution to replace key figure Philipp Lahm who will be out of the game for months with a broken ankle and gelling together all the pieces in the defense Adidas Superstar W Saldi , midfield and offense to arrive at a well-oiled machine.
For now, Schweinsteiger could replace Lahm alongside Xabi Alonso and complete Bayern's central midfield. As things are working well up front with the quintet of Mario Goetze, Thomas Mueller, Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery and Robert Lewandowski Adidas Superstar Rosa Saldi , all world class players, Guardiola is looking for tactical flexibility in his back line as he regards it as being essential to control play in midfield.
