By Daniel Garcia Offshore wind turbines can steal power from each other — with losses reaching 38% and stretching 34 miles downwind. The U.S. is building thousands of offshore wind turbines across the Atlantic, enough to power more than 10 million homes. It’s one of the most ambitious clean energy expansions in the country’s history…. Read More
By Tristan Baurick Louisiana’s offshore wind industry has a date circled on the calendar: Jan. 21, 2029 — the first day after President Donald Trump is scheduled to leave office. Industry leaders say Trump’s policies have brought offshore wind development to a near standstill, but they are trying to preserve Louisiana’s wind expertise and supply… Read More
EWE, RWE and Vattenfall are selling their shares in the alpha ventus offshore wind farm to Ocean Breeze Energy. The change of ownership opens the prospect of Germany’s first offshore wind farm, situated around 45 kms north of Borkum, continuing to operate beyond its originally planned lifespan. Commissioned in 2010, the wind farm pioneered German offshore… Read More
Ørsted’s Barrow Offshore Wind Farm is celebrating 20 years of generating renewable, home-grown electricity for the UK, marking two decades of operation that have helped demonstrate the long-term potential of offshore wind. The milestone also marks the 20th anniversary of Ørsted generating power in the UK. In that time, Ørsted wind farms have produced more… Read More
The Nordlicht I offshore wind farm is taking shape in the German North Sea, and DEME is proud to play a key role in bringing this major renewable energy project to life. Every day, our crews, engineers, technicians, project teams, and onshore support colleagues work together to help deliver clean energy for the future. As… Read More
By Daniel Garcia Offshore wind farms reveal a new window into Atlantic current decline Beneath the Atlantic Ocean, an immense system of currents has been quietly moving heat from the tropics toward Europe and North America for millennia — moderating winters, shaping rainfall, and keeping coastal climates in a kind of balance that most people… Read More
Key highlights: Offshore wind companies continue to invest across the value chain, from new installation and support vessels to cable manufacturing, grid infrastructure and project execution. Developers advanced major projects through new wind farm milestones, operations bases, power purchase agreements and grid connection initiatives. Technology innovation remains a focus, with new floating wind platform designs… Read More
Eighty-five kilometers out in the North Sea intense work is ongoing. Monopile foundations up to 80 meters tall and giant transition pieces are being installed and vessels are moving between ports and the construction site, turning years of planning and manufacturing into Germany’s largest offshore wind farm, Nordlicht I. The Nordlicht cluster consists of two… Read More
An offshore wind turbine facility is to be created at the Port of Montrose, supporting about 80 jobs. The factory, which will make components for off-shore wind turbines, is to be run by engineering firm Subsea Micropiles following a £5m investment. A further £6.7m is being provided by the state-owned Scottish National Investment Bank, with… Read More
By Tom Hale China is the world’s biggest generator of wind energy by a long shot, and its capacity just keeps on growing and growing. In its latest flex, the east Asian powerhouse has just activated an offshore wind farm in the South China Sea featuring 33 wind turbines of monstrous proportions, as well as… Read More
By Kim LaCapria A growing legal fight over offshore wind could have consequences far beyond the coastline. California and New York are challenging President Donald Trump’s administration over its efforts to pay energy companies to cancel projects, arguing the move could leave families with higher power bills and fewer clean energy options, ABC News reported….
