Australian engineers have built a speargun-inspired device that could cut the costs and time involved in planning offshore wind farms. The device launches a probe into the seabed, which can tell surveyors what the ground is like. Currently, surveying equipment for offshore wind farms involves inefficient, probes called penetrometers dropped or winched from a boat. More… Read More
On Thursday morning, a “significant part of the remaining GE Vernova blade detached from the turbine,” Vineyard Wind said in a release. Dive Brief: After a Vineyard Wind turbine blade suffered damage on Saturday, scattering fiberglass debris in the ocean, the U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement issued a suspension order that halted construction and… Read More
On behalf of Ørsted, Jan De Nul is currently installing 107 monopile foundations for the Gode Wind 3 and Borkum Riffgrund 3 wind farms in the German North Sea. To maximally protect marine life during the works, a new low-noise installation technology was tested on three monopiles for Gode Wind 3 last winter. The technology… Read More

A tour boat carrying engineers, regulators, and reporters cut through choppy water 15 miles off the coast of Virginia Beach. The North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association and a group representing a network of economic development organizations chartered the boat to give the North Carolina crowd a close-up view of wind energy. North Carolina has a… Read More
The California Energy Commission last week unanimously approved a sweeping plan to develop a massive floating offshore wind industry in ocean waters — a first-of-its-kind undertaking that will require billions in public and private investments and could transform parts of the coast. The new state plan sets the path for harnessing wind power from hundreds… Read More
A new cable manufacturing facility is coming to Chesapeake, Virginia, and you won’t be able to miss it. The building is slated to reach around 700 feet off the ground. It will be the tallest building between Charlotte and Philadelphia. For reference, the Washington Monument is about 550 feet tall. The Westin at Town Center… Read More
It’s unclear why a blade from one of the Vineyard Wind turbines broke into pieces, which are washing up on Nantucket beaches. Debris from a damaged wind turbine blade has been washing up on the shores of Nantucket, Mass., prompting the closure of several beaches to swimmers and spurring an investigation into what caused the… Read More
