The world’s first wind-powered underwater datacentre has started operations off the coast of Shanghai, as China presses forwards with solutions for energy challenges created by the country’s artificial intelligence boom. The Shanghai Lingang undersea datacentre demonstration project, which launched in May, has a capacity of 24 megawatts. It is a joint effort between HiCloud Technology and China… Read More
When people think about offshore wind farms, they usually think about renewable energy. But between the turbines, another valuable resource could be produced: food. Over the past 15 years, researchers and industry partners have developed and refined methods for cultivating sugar kelp in Danish waters. The results show that seaweed can be grown at large… Read More
This vessel has now belonged to A.P. Moller – Maersk, worked for DeepOcean, moved to DOF, and is now heading to South Korea. That says a lot about where offshore is going. Many still think offshore wind is mainly a technology race. I increasingly think it is becoming a deployment race. Taihan Cable & Solution… Read More
OEG has acquired Hybrid Resource Management Ltd (“Hybrid”), an independent on and offshore wind workforce solutions specialist operating across the UK and Europe in a strategic move to strengthen its technical services capability and expand its global presence in the growing operations and maintenance (O&M) wind market. Established in 2019, with its principal office in Newquay, Cornwall, UK, Hybrid… Read More
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
Throughits Japanese joint venture Japan Offshore Marine (JOM), DEME has secured a contract1 for the Oga–Katagami–Akita Offshore Wind Project. The contract covers the engineering works and vessel charter for the offshore installation of 21 wind turbines under the contract between Oga Katagami Akita Offshore Green Energy LLC. and Penta-Ocean Construction Co.,Ltd.JOM will install 21 Vestas… 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
