By Cosmo Sanderson Extensive offshore wind deployment could “significantly alter” regional climates in northern Europe, impacting wind speeds and rainfall, according to new research. Source
By Tristan Baurick President Donald Trump promised to sign an executive order on his first day back in office that would kill offshore wind. In the Gulf of Mexico, his administration finally achieved that goal — more than 500 days later — by promising to sign something else: a very big check. The Trump administration agreed to… Read More
By Prince Sibanda The European wind energy landscape possesses a multitude of companies that are willing to pursue energy initiatives worldwide. The entire continent has displayed togetherness in the clean energy transition, with countries fully understanding the importance of meeting the continent’s clean energy targets. According to reports, Europe’s wind energy capacity was able to reach… Read More
Two offshore heavyweights, one meeting point. Captured in the port of Eemshaven: DEME vessels Orion and Sea Installer sharing the same frame in a rare encounter. Moments like this highlight the strength and versatility of DEME’s offshore fleet. Orion, the largest floating offshore transport and installation vessel in our fleet, and Sea Installer, our proven… Read More
By Kelly Lippke Arctic cold locked down the northeastern United States last month, sending regional electricity demand surging. As temperatures plunged, heating systems strained electrical infrastructure to its absolute limits. Power prices skyrocketed while utility companies scrambled to reactivate dormant oil-fired backup facilities. Yet, offshore in the icy Atlantic waters, steel turbines spun without interruption, steadily feeding clean… Read More
Continuing the series Offshore wind didn’t invent specialized subsea rock installation. It gave a 50-year-old offshore technology another major market. Van Oord’s Bravenes is a good example. The 154-meter DP3 vessel is designed to place rock with high precision around pipelines, cables, offshore structures, and wind foundations. Using a flexible fallpipe and ROV-controlled placement system,… Read More

By Noah Baustin California is launching a probe into the Trump administration’s most recent move to scuttle the state’s nascent offshore wind industry. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration on Tuesday released an investigative subpoena against German energy company RWE, according to David Hochschild, chair of the California Energy Commission. “These are unlawful actions … they’re using funds that are not dedicated… Read More
By Ajani Stella, Inside Climate News When Gerard Mullin decided to train in offshore wind, he didn’t know what to expect. But on his first long-term project in Massachusetts, he immediately relished the consistency of the work, the good pay, and the novelty of laboring at sea. “I thought it was the best thing in the… Read More

By Joshua Atlantean German energy developer RWE has agreed to surrender its offshore wind leases in the United States after securing a $1.22 billion settlement with federal authorities. The deal resolves legal claims made by RWE U.S. Offshore against the federal government, effectively halting development across three key marine lease tracts. The agreement covers offshore lease… Read More
The Nordlicht I offshore wind farm continues to take shape in the German North Sea. Following the installation of the first monopile foundation in July, the first transition piece has now been installed by our jack-up installation vessel Sea Installer. Together, DEME’s vessels Orion and Sea Installer are carrying out the foundation and transition piece… Read More
A double milestone at the Fengmiao 1 offshore wind farm in Taiwan. Our Taiwanese joint venture CDWE has successfully completed the pin pile and offshore substation transportation and installation campaign ahead of schedule. With offshore installation vessel Green Jade, CDWE installed 99 pin piles, the offshore substation topside and foundation. Together, the foundation and topside… Read More
Monopiles installed at Hornsea 3 are already massive – averaging 1,670 tonnes and 90 metres long. 🤯 But the latest arrivals are even bigger than that, weighing more than 2,300 tonnes and measuring 105 metres in length. We need these bigger monopiles in areas of deeper water, or where our analysis of the seabed shows… Read More
This month, we successfully completed the installation of two subsea high-voltage export cables for the Fengmiao I offshore wind farm in Taiwan. Using our cable-laying vessel Willem de Vlamingh, we pulled the cables into the offshore substation. In the future, this connection will enable the electricity generated by the wind farm to be transmitted safely… Read More
