By Clark Savage Britain is running out of shallow waters suitable for fixed-bottom offshore wind turbines and is now pivoting aggressively to floating wind farms in deeper seas around Scotland, Wales, and Cornwall. According to recent reporting, the government aims for roughly 3,000 new floating turbines over the next 10–15 years (about 500 by 2030),… Read More
By Kevin Montien Here is something kind of wild: an offshore wind farm in the German North Sea appears to be slowing down the wind before it even reaches the first row of turbines, according to long-range laser measurements. Researchers measured an average 4 percent decline over about 1.8 miles during stable atmospheric conditions, when the turbines were… Read More
Rotterdam, the Netherlands, 21 August 2026 – Van Oord has successfully installed all 111 monopiles for the Baltica 2 wind farm in Poland, including 107 for wind turbines and 4 for offshore substations. Delivered safely and on schedule, this major milestone concludes one of the most demanding offshore construction campaigns in the Baltic Sea and supports the… Read More
Ørsted is proposing the Dadu II offshore wind farm off Changhua, Taiwan, with the project now undergoing environmental assessment and public consultation. The proposed project has a capacity of up to 2,002 MW and would be located approximately 38 km from the Changhua coast. Dadu II would cover an area of approximately 234.6 km². The… Read More
By Carlos Albero Rojas Thousands of offshore wind turbines are set to rise along the U.S. Atlantic coast, forming the backbone of America’s push toward clean electricity. But these turbines don’t simply harvest the wind — they compete for it. Each spinning rotor extracts energy from the air and leaves a slower, choppier wake behind it. Researchers… Read More
Clean Energy Wire Stakeholders from the energy industry and civil society have submitted their positions on a draft bill for a reform of Germany’s Offshore Wind Energy Act. The law has been in place since 2016 and regulates spatial planning, on-site exploration, auctions and grid connection for Germany’s offshore wind farms of the North Sea… Read More
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
