A joint study by Politecnico di Torino and WindEurope identifies what the Mediterranean needs to grow its offshore wind sector. Published in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, the study finds that clear rules, strong infrastructure and grid readiness matter as much as technology. The goal is to turn the region’s wind potential into real, competitive projects,… Read More
By Nick Zenkin On March 20, Energy Secretary Chris Wright broke ground on a stretch of federal land in Piketon, Ohio, once home to the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant, which spent the Cold War enriching uranium for nuclear weapons. That site, leased by Softbank subsidiary SB Energy, is now part of what the Department of… Read More
Boskalis’ semi-submersible heavy transport vessel Trustee will make multiple voyages over the coming months between Bilbao, Spain and Teesworks in the northeast of the United Kingdom. The vessel will serve as a courier for dozens of monopile foundations, each measuring an average of 90 meters in length and weighing more than 1,600 tons, destined for… Read More
By Abby Butler A historic milestone for offshore wind energy in Poland: at the Baltic Power farm – a joint venture of ORLEN and Northland Power – the first turbines have passed the required tests and supplied first offshore wind power to the national energy grid. Polskie Sieci Energetyczne confirmed the receipt of energy at… Read More
Boskalis’ cable-laying vessel Ndurance recently made a significant contribution to the development of an offshore wind farm in France. Over the past few weeks, the vessel installed 31 inter-array cables, connecting the wind turbines of the 496 MW wind farm to the offshore substation. The Ndurance carried out the project after a busy period in… Read More
BorWin6 land station continues to advance in Büttel, Germany, with key milestones including main transformer installation, completion of the converter hall steel structure and the start of DC cable conduit work – bringing us closer to connecting North Sea offshore wind to Germany’s grid. Source

Wood Thilsted and COP Frontier have launched Neretek, a next-generation offshore wind foundation company to redefine possibilities of deepwater offshore wind. Neretek aims to deliver on its potential through its proprietary Neretek BC90TM technology – a next-generation offshore wind foundation that unlocks cost-effective deepwater deployment by delivering the simplicity of monopiles at transitional 60-90 metre water depths – enabling… Read More
By Kelly Lippke Imagine a giant wind turbine floating on the ocean. The waves crash. The platform rocks violently. You would expect the power output to drop, right? Most people assume that bigger waves mean bigger losses. But a new study reveals a shocking twist for the future of clean energy. It all comes down to a… Read More
As more offshore wind farms become exposed to market prices, long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) are playing an increasingly important role in supporting the continued growth of renewable energy. That’s why we’re pleased to have signed a long-term PPA with the Gode Wind 1 partnership in Germany. For Ørsted, the deal is a significant milestone… Read More
By Alex Brown President Donald Trump has wielded the immense power of the executive branch to stymie offshore wind development, as nearly all projects are in waters where federal agencies operate as the landlord. Now, as the feds block new permits and dangle billion-dollar buyout offers to convince developers to walk away from their projects,… Read More
By Hugo Rojas How big wind power has quietly become Wind has grown from a niche experiment into one of the fastest expanding energy sources on Earth. Modern offshore turbines are now taller than most landmarks, with the largest reaching around 918 feet to the blade tip. The blades alone can be longer than a football… Read More
THE Department of Energy (DoE) has suspended the country’s first offshore wind auction until further notice, citing logistical constraints, infrastructure readiness, and global supply chain risks, including those arising from the conflict in the Middle East. In a notice, Energy Undersecretary Felix William B. Fuentebella informed qualified suppliers and renewable energy stakeholders that activities and… Read More
By Michael Sainato Donald Trump has blamed everything—from “national security” issues, the deaths of birds and whales, and cancer—in his decades-long campaign against windfarms. But as the Trump administration continues to undermine the industry, what worries workers most are their jobs. Since taking office for a second term, Trump has issued an executive order aiming to halt all wind-energy leases and permits, attempted to… Read More
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, or BOEM, today announced the Final Notice of Sale for Lease Sale Big Beautiful Gulf 3 (BBG3), the third of 30 Gulf of America lease sales required by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. “BBG3 demonstrates our continued commitment to executing a predictable offshore leasing schedule for the Gulf of… Read More
