NANNING — China had built and connected 39.1 million kilowatts of offshore wind power to its national grid by the third quarter of 2024, ranking first globally, according to a conference on offshore wind power industrial chain cooperation. China has formed relatively complete technological and industrial chains of offshore wind power, covering design, manufacturing, construction,… Read More
Louisiana voters have supported a constitutional amendment directing federal revenue from offshore wind lease sales to the state’s coastal protection and restoration fund. This provision would create parity between revenue from offshore wind lease sales and revenue from offshore oil and gas lease sales. According to the Associated Press, more than 73% of Louisiana voters… Read More
After a year of canceled projects, broken turbines, and abandoned lease sales, the global offshore wind industry no longer has much chance to hit the lofty targets set by governments in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere, marking a setback for efforts to fight climate change. The technology forms a big part of government strategies to… Read More
California’s offshore wind industry could be a casualty if President-elect Donald Trump makes good on his promise to sign an executive order to “end” the offshore wind industry. He cannot do it with the stroke of a pen. But Trump can deeply wound the state’s next-generation renewable energy source by cutting off funding just as it’s gaining… Read More
Here’s how much electricity the state’s windfarms current produce The winds in California get a bad name when they worsen devastating fires across the state but wind also is a clean form of energy the state is looking to harness further. The first big wind farms in the U.S. were built in California, then the… Read More
Offshore wind power is as a critical resource in the rapid shift towards renewable energy, but is also now a target of frequent cyberattacks. Two-thirds of energy professionals say their infrastructure is more vulnerable to cyber threats than ever, making guidance more vital than ever before. DNV and Siemens Energy have launched a joint industry… Read More
