Global offshore wind project cancellations, suspensions and delays have reached 300 GW, according to new data from Maritime Strategies International. The figures reflect mounting challenges across the USA and Europe, where political and economic factors are undermining planned developments. In the USA, the sector has been particularly hard hit. The federal government’s decision to temporarily… Read More
The state’s offshore wind power aspirations were set even further back late last month with a six-month delay in the process of finalizing new projects, a slowdown that comes as the governor and elected officials on Beacon Hill are in agreement that Massachusetts needs more energy, really no matter what kind. Nearly a decade after… Read More
The recent wave of distressed offshore wind projects is not a symptom of clean energy market weakness, but a reflection of a delivery model that no longer fits the scale or complexity of demands. Current projects are being developed under legacy utility-era assumptions: rigid contracts, siloed procurement, narrow risk-sharing and fragmented infrastructure. The U.S. offshore… Read More
Canada’s first offshore wind project has taken a major step toward becoming a reality with the issuing of a key permit. Oceanic Wind Energy and Coast Tsimshian Enterprises are working together to develop a 600 to 700MW farm in the Hecate Strait, located just west of Stephens Island on the country’s west coast. The partners… Read More

The US president orders the Department of Treasury to “strictly enforce” the phase-out of federal incentives for wind and solar contained in the… Read More
Allocating just 1 per cent of the global offshore wind investments from now until 2050, which are projected to be USD 6 trillion (approximately EUR 5.1 trillion), to marine conservation and restoration could restore millions of square kilometres of marine ecosystems, a new international study has found. The scientists who conducted the study have urged… Read More
A new study has found that dedicating just 1% of the global offshore wind investments from now until 2050 could fund the restoration of millions of square kilometres of marine ecosystems, including coral reefs, mangroves, and oyster reefs. Offshore wind farms not only deliver clean energy but can also play a vital role in restoring vulnerable… Read More
Mammoet has signed a support agreement for TenneT’s 2GW program; one that will see it support Heerema Marine Contractors (Heerema) with the offshore installation of two giant topsides for the 2 GW Program.
