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.
