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
By Jennifer McDermott and The Associated Press An offshore wind company said Thursday that it reached a $1.2 billion settlement with the Trump administration to walk away from projects under development off New York, California and Louisiana. This latest agreement brings the total amount spent on such settlements to nearly $4 billion. RWE U.S. Offshore said its leases… Read More
DOVER, Del. – Delaware’s Environmental Appeals Board has scheduled an August hearing on a challenge to a state review of the US Wind offshore wind project. The hearing, filed by Edward E. Bintz, is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. on Aug. 25, 2026. Officials say it will be conducted in a hybrid format, with… Read More
Vattenfall has been awarded the Hesselø and North Sea I Mid offshore wind projects in the latest Danish offshore wind tender, strengthening Vattenfall’s offshore portfolio and supporting the large-scale expansion of fossil-free energy in Europe. The award marks another step towards meeting the growing demand for reliable, locally produced electricity. “Winning both projects reflects our… Read More
By Brian Martucci Dominion Energy estimates its 2.6-gigawatt Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project will cost about $11.7 billion when all is said and done, up nearly $300 million from its most recent cost estimate in April, the company said Friday. The $288 million cost increase is due to revised network upgrade costs assigned by the PJM Interconnection, tariffs… Read More
By Monique Merrill PORTLAND, Ore. (CN) — A federal judge on Tuesday indicated she was likely to find in favor of a coalition of renewable energy groups and order the Trump administration to resume reviewing wind projects. Near the start of a two-hour hearing, U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, a Donald Trump appointee, told the… Read More
Offshore wind now fails for genuinely different reasons, and clearing one hurdle says nothing about whether a project will clear the next one. In the United Kingdom this year, developers have lost projects both for lacking government revenue support and, in one case, despite having it. In Sweden, the government rejected most of the offshore… Read More
We have successfully connected the offshore wind farms Nordseecluster 1 and 2 to the DolWin kappa platform in the German North Sea. For TenneT Germany, we transported, installed and protected three subsea power cables with a combined length of 37 kilometres. These cables will transmit 660 MW of renewable electricity, enough to supply more than… Read More
By Adrian Villellas A quiet federal bottleneck has stalled at least 155 proposed onshore wind projects in 24 states, including developments in Texas, Colorado, and Washington. Together, they represent about 44 gigawatts of potential generating capacity, yet developers say construction cannot move ahead because military reviews needed within the Federal Aviation Administration’s aeronautical process remain unresolved. The… Read More
