Efforts are continuing to build the ammonia bunking supply chain as it continues to be viewed as one of the most promising candidates in the efforts to decarbonize shipping. Leaders in the field continue to come together focusing on building out the supply chain for first-mover applications both in Scandinavia and for key trade routes… Read More
French renewable energy company Lhyfe reports that its pilot project Sealhyfe has produced the first kilos of green hydrogen from the first offshore hydrogen production platform. Sealhyfe is now connected to the subsea hub off Le Croisic, France in the Atlantic powered by a floating wind turbine, designed to demonstrate the potential and provide critical… Read More
The global renewable energy investment firm Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has committed $350 million in developing offshore wind projects in South Korea. Last week, CIP Managing Partner Jacob Baruel Poulsen formalized the agreement in presence of the Republic of Korea’s President Yoon Suk-Yeol. The funds will support the development and construction of gigawatt-scale offshore wind… Read More
The New York City-based accelerator, Offshore Wind Innovation Hub, has announced the first round of start-up companies selected to receive support to develop innovative ideas in the field of offshore wind. The six winners make up the inaugural accelerator programme cohort. They were selected from eleven finalists participating in a competition in May 2023, and… Read More
The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) announced it has selected a transmission project to meet the Long Island Offshore Wind Export Public Policy Transmission Need (Long Island Need). The selected transmission development, Propel Alternate Solution 5, will ultimately benefit energy consumers by providing transmission capability to deliver at least 3000MW from offshore wind sites….

A bill introduced by Gov. Janet Mills that would create visual impact standards for future offshore wind projects has passed the Maine Legislature and is on its way to her desk. Advocates are describing the amended version of the bill as “groundbreaking,” as it now includes requirements that any port facilities that are built to support offshore… Read More
The 114th and final wind turbine was installed recently at Seagreen Wind Farm. A joint venture between SSE Renewables and TotalEnergies, Seagreen is located about 17 miles of Scotland’s Angus coast. 76 of the 114 Vestas V164-10.0 MW turbines are now energised at the site, which is located 27km from the Angus coast, now producing… Read More
Ørsted, the world’s leading developer of offshore wind farms, has designed and developed the first uncrewed surface vessel (USV) in the industry for offshore met-ocean measurement campaigns. The measurement data will help lower uncertainties in the expected annual energy production for new offshore wind farms. Ørsted, who has patented the USV concept, sees enormous potential… Read More
Cable-laying vessel Isaac Newton, multipurpose vessel Adhémar de Saint-Venant and a remotely-controlled cable burying vehicle of consortium Jan De Nul Group-LS Cable & System have completed the installation of the second marine cable for the offshore wind farm ‘west Alpha’. In recent weeks, more than 60 kilometres of cable was laid and buried in the… Read More
New York’s first offshore wind farm has reached a significant milestone with the start of offshore construction. Governor Kathy Hochul announced Thursday that South Fork Wind project has marked its first “steel in the water” with the installation of the project’s first monopile foundation. In the coming days, crews will install the project’s U.S.-built offshore… Read More
The Gulf of Maine, running from Cape Cod in the south to Nova Scotia in the north, has tremendous potential for wind power. Its development will play a major role in any plan that effectively moves the U.S. toward meetings its clean energy goals and staving off the worst of the climate crisis. How best… Read More
The largest offshore jack-up installation vessel ever built, Voltaire, has just arrived in the port of Able Seaton, UK. Voltaire of Jan De Nul Group was delivered end 2022. Since then she has been undertaking final preparations for her very first assignment: the construction of the Dogger Bank Wind Farm phases A, B and C…. Read More
The marine restoration project ‘BioReef’ aims to establish one or more biogenic reefs of European flat oysters and horse mussels in Danish waters. The project is part of the global partnership between Ørsted and WWF to advance offshore wind with a net-positive impact on the ocean. Over the last century, there has been a drastic… Read More
Gravity-based structures may offer a porpoise and dolphin-friendly construction alternative to traditional pile-driven wind turbine foundations, new research suggests. Marine scientists from Newcastle University investigated short- and long-term impacts of this new wind turbine installation method on cetaceans off Blyth, Northumberland. The response of dolphins and harbor porpoises was investigated using cetacean echolocation recorders over a three-year period,… Read More
In just about four hours, the first monopile tower in Vineyard Wind‘s offshore wind farm was installed in shallow continental shelf waters south of Martha’s Vineyard last week. Work on putting in the foundational structures for the 800-megawatt project — touted as the nation’s pioneer commercial-scale, offshore wind farm — began June 7. The lease area is located about 15 miles south… Read More
