By Dave Cantor No Dominion Energy representative was in attendance at the Virginia Offshore Wind Development Authority meeting earlier this week – even as the utility hopes state regulators sign off on a massive merger. The panel, which was established in 2010, works to foster development of the industry through research and makes recommendations to help… Read More
Meet the Boskalis team in Manchester on 16 & 17 June at the Global Offshore Wind Exhibition. Visit us at Booth #C40 to reconnect and discuss the latest developments in the offshore wind industry. Source
By Saumya Roy French energy giant TotalEnergies is embroiled in a lawsuit between seven US states and the federal government as the administration of President Donald Trump upends domestic energy policy, shutting down some wind energy projects while pushing fossil fuels. It has also raised questions about the predictability of the business and investment environment under… Read More
Before subsea power cables can be installed to connect offshore wind turbine generators (WTGs) to each other enabling the transmission of renewable energy to the shore, the seabed must first be inspected to ensure it is safe to work. Our colleagues at Boskalis Hirdes EOD Services are specialists in this field and have in recent… Read More
Van Oord is proud to mark another important milestone in the development of the Ecowende offshore wind farm: the successful installation of the project’s first wind turbine, located approximately 53 kilometres off the Dutch coast. This marks the transition into the next phase of the project, building on the successful completion of the foundation works…. Read More
By Julia Jacobo Seven states are suing the Trump administration over a nearly $1 billion deal to end French energy company TotalEnergies’ offshore wind development off the East Coast, accusing the deal of being “unlawful.” In March, the U.S. Department of the Interior reached a $928 million deal with TotalEnergies to halt construction of the wind farms… Read More

By Sonia Ramírez China’s newest wind power milestone is not just about electricity. Mingyang Smart Energy’s MySE18.X-20MW turbine, installed in Hainan, has pushed offshore-style wind technology into the 20-megawatt era while also drawing fresh attention to something less visible than its huge blades, the small changes turbines can create in the air around them. The main takeaway is… Read More
By Anke Progressing the global green energy transition often comes with a cost. Northern European nations are rapidly expanding giant offshore wind developments to meet climate mandates. These projects are also essential to meet the region’s growing power demands, with Denmark leading the expansion of maritime wind. But experts worry about the impact on the highly sensitive… Read More
By: Ann Francisco The Philippines is at an important energy crossroads. As power demand rises, the country has an opportunity to shape an energy system that strengthens domestic energy security, resilience and industrial capability over the long term, while managing exposure to external fuel price dynamics. This is why offshore wind must be viewed through a… Read More
With our construction support vessel BOKA Falcon – one of the strongest in the world, along with its sister vessel BOKA Fulmar – Boskalis worked in the Polish Baltic Sea for nearly a year.

By Douglas Avila Delivered to the Belgian operator DEME, the ship Norse Wind went into operation carrying a 3,200-ton crane, a monstrous piece made to lift and plant wind turbines with blades larger than a football field and bases that weigh as much as a small building into the seabed. There is a category of… Read More
Danish energy company Ørsted A/S (CPH:ORSTED) has arranged land financings with HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital Inc (NYSE:HASI) for three solar-plus-storage projects in the US with a combined capacity of 1 GW. The transactions announced by HASI on Wednesday concern about 6,600 acres (2,671 hectares) across Ørsted’s Eleven Mile Solar Center in Arizona’s Pinal County, the… Read More
By Josh Axelrod The US president makes no bones about his disdain for wind power, which over the years he’s falsely blamed for cancer and whale deaths in the Atlantic Ocean. But his anti-wind sentiment has assumed new proportions since he took office. During that time, he has thrown up roadblocks to stop wind expansion at every… Read More
By Ray Brennan California is moving ahead with offshore wind development even as the Trump administration tries to slow the industry across the country. State officials and industry groups say California’s enormous wind resource could help power millions of homes, create jobs, and strengthen the grid for decades to come. A National Renewable Energy Laboratory… Read More
