Garden State Offshore Energy (GSOE) this week successfully deployed a state-of-the-art offshore research buoy 23 miles off of the coast of Atlantic City. The 25-ton buoy, equipped with sophisticated meteorological measurement devices, will measure atmospheric and sea conditions offshore for up to tw
The BlueGreen Alliance, in partnership with Heinrich Böll Stiftung North America, launched a multi-state tour to highlight the potential of offshore wind along the Atlantic Coast, specifically in Maryland and New York. The domestic offshore wind industry has obstacles to overcome, but has shown sign
Scotrenewables Tidal Power Limited, founded and based in Stromness, was this week awarded an ‘Agreement for Lease’ from the Crown Estate for a commercial tidal energy demonstrator project to be located at Lashy Sound between the islands of Eday and Sanday in Orkney. The award from Crown Estate, the
According to the latest report by the four transmission system operators, Germany should have 111 GW of installed renewable energy capacity by 2017, reports Reuters. EnBW, Tennet, Amprion and 50Hertz predict that 47GW will come from wind energy, both onshore and offshore, 55GW from solar power and t
