DNV completes climate impact assessment for Boralex's wind and solar assets in France. The outputs support operational and financial planning by helping quantify how future wind and solar resource conditions may differ from historical patterns. Paris, France - March 31, 2026 - DNV, the independent energy expert and assurance provider, has completed a climate-impact assessment for independent renewable energy producer Boralex in France, evaluating how a changing climate could influence the long-term energy yield of a 1.3 GW operational portfolio of 76 wind and solar assets. The assessment applied DNV's "Climate change impact on energy production" service to provide projections at asset level over 10-, 20- and 30-year horizons. The outputs support operational and financial planning by helping quantify how future wind and solar resource conditions may differ from historical patterns. Renewable generation depends directly on weather conditions, and climate change is altering the distribution of wind, temperature, and irradiance. For asset owners, lenders or investors, this creates a growing need to stress-test production assumptions, understand uncertainty, and identify where risks may be concentrated across a portfolio. DNV combines climate science with energy modelling to turn projected changes into practical metrics for energy yield, enabling asset or portfolio-level comparison. Its scenarios highlight both the spatial variability of projected changes and the sensitivity of resources to future site conditions under different climate pathways. The resulting maps underline why asset-level assessment matters: while broad regional trends are visible, the scale and even direction of change can vary significantly from one location to another, making localized modelling essential to evaluating long-term performance and risk exposure. "Most yield assessments are still anchored in historical weather patterns, but as renewables carry a growing share of the power system, we must account for a shifting baseline", said Brice Le Gallo, Vice-president and regional director for Southern Europe, MEA & LATAM, Energy Systems, DNV. "By integrating climate projections into the same analytical framework as production modelling, this work allows us to put numbers around uncertainty and identifies where the biggest changes may sit across a portfolio, giving investors and operators the confidence to make long-term decisions on performance, maintenance, and system-wide resilience." Boralex added that "This forward-looking approach gives us a more robust basis for understanding how climate change is likely to affect our sites, rather than relying solely on past performance. It helps us identify which long-term assumptions need to be revisited, ensuring we can anticipate change and adapt our operational strategy in a context where weather patterns are becoming increasingly unpredictable." The service was introduced at the 2025 WindEurope Technology Workshop and is designed for application across both single assets and multi-site portfolios. It supports renewable energy owners, developers and investors seeking forward-looking insight as climate-driven uncertainty becomes a material factor in long-term asset performance. According to DNV's Energy Transition Outlook, Europe's power system is set to transition considerably, with solar becoming the continent's largest source of electricity in the 2030s as costs stay low and deployment accelerates. By 2038, wind and solar together will supply half of Europe's grid-connected power. Over the longer term, solar rises to 47% of European generation by 2060, while wind remains the second-largest source at around 32%, making variable renewables the backbone of the system. By the 2040s, wind and solar together will generate more electricity than all other sources combined. Even so, DNV projects Europe will miss its specific EU renewable targets for 2030 unless deployment speeds up further.
New DNV recommended practice supports offshore hydrogen pipelines development. Developed through the H2Pipe joint industry project, the recommended practice DNV-RP-F123 Hydrogen pipeline systems addresses hydrogen-specific risks in offshore pipeline design and operation to support safe deployment. DNV has published DNV-RP-F123 Hydrogen pipeline systems, a recommended practice for offshore hydrogen pipelines, supporting safe design, operation and requalification of pipeline infrastructure in hydrogen service. The recommended practice addresses hydrogen-specific integrity and safety considerations, including risks such as hydrogen embrittlement. It supplements DNV's established submarine pipeline standard, DNV-ST-F101, first published in 1976 and celebrating 50 years of service for the energy industry in 2026. The new RP adds additional guidance tailored to transporting hydrogen gas and hydrogen blends in pipeline systems. It is relevant for new pipeline developments and for organizations considering requalifying existing offshore infrastructure for hydrogen transport, supporting broader efforts to scale hydrogen networks and connect energy systems. Hydrogen is expected to play an important role in cutting emissions from hard-to-decarbonize sectors. For large-scale transport, pipelines remain one of the most cost-effective options, but projects have faced uncertainty around material behaviour, design limits and operational requirements. DNV-RP-F123 has been developed through the H2Pipe joint industry project (JIP), which ran from 2021 to 2026. The JIP consolidated research, testing and industry experience into guidance intended to be used directly in engineering projects and qualification work. "Hydrogen service fundamentally changes the integrity picture for pipeline systems," explains Prajeev Rasiah, Executive Vice President and Regional Director for Northern Europe, Energy Systems at DNV, "it cannot be treated as a simple variant of natural gas. This recommended practice moves beyond theoretical study to provide an evidence-based framework for assessing hydrogen-specific risks in design, requalification, and operation. By closing the gaps around material suitability and safety margins, we are giving teams the technical clarity needed to move projects from the study phase into execution. This is particularly vital for requalifying existing infrastructure, where the guidance helps define exactly what must be tested or upgraded to ensure a safe reliable and sustainable transition." The H2Pipe JIP brought together 37 industry partners across operators, manufacturers, engineering companies and academic advisors. DNV is now launching Phase 3 of the JIP: "The next step for the industry is large-scale testing to validate data and advance existing standards. This phase will include full-scale pipe testing at DNV's Spadeadam Research and Development Facility. The results will feed into the continued development of DNV-RP-F123 and future guidance," says Jan Fredrik Helgaker, Principal Engineer, Energy Systems at DNV and project manager of the H2Pipe JIP. "The objective of the H2Pipe JIP is to build guidance grounded in shared data and real technical experience from testing," adds Philippe Darcis, Chairman of the H2Pipe JIP Steering Committee and Pipeline Technology Senior Director at Tenaris. "The real value of the H2Pipe JIP is in turning years of shared data into credible, site-ready guidance that engineers can use to scale hydrogen infrastructure. This is a practical tool built to reduce the 'unknowns' that often stall investment. Because it was developed through industry-wide collaboration, it gives operators a robust basis for making decisions, allowing us to move forward with fewer assumptions and greater confidence in our safety and performance standards."
DNV has entered into an agreement to acquire big-data specialists AquaCloud, strengthening its ambition to further develop shared data standards and trusted data infrastructure for the aquaculture industry. The acquisition will enable more effective use of production data for insight, learning and decision support, contributing to improved fish welfare and operational efficiency.
