While we are keeping a close eye on the progress of the 15 MW and 16 MW wind turbines that are now in the prototype stage, the Danish Energy Agency (DEA) is considering the possibility that four times more powerful models could be available during the construction of offshore wind farms around the c
Huisman has developed a harsh environment semi-submersible rig design, which can be powered with onshore-produced hydroelectricity but also with floating wind turbines.
Worldwide dependence on oil and gas has been in evidence ever since the Ukraine crisis started, casting doubt over the pace and the lengths the world is prepared to go to in order to embrace decarbonisation. While the shift to green energy investments is undoubtedly both necessary and inevitable, th
A European electricity company has invited component manufacturers and services providers to engage in a preliminary market consultation to determine the current market capabilities within the offshore wind industry before the start of the potential procurement process.
French engineering and technology company, Technip Energies, and its affiliates, Kanfa and Inocean, have launched the GO.H2TM by T.EN suite of carbon-free solutions for green hydrogen production. This suite of solutions – based on renewable power sources such as wind and solar – is said to be flexib
Installation works are well underway at the 1.5 GW Hollandse Kust Zuid – the world’s first subsidy-free offshore wind farm – to ensure that electricity starts flowing to the Dutch grid in early May. The first of the wind farm’s 140 Siemens Gamesa 11.0-200 DD wind turbines was installed at the site s
Swedish energy company Vattenfall will participate in the tender for the N-7.2 offshore wind area in the German North Sea and will exercise its step-in rights if the company’s bid is not selected in the auction. Germany’s Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) put the N-7.2 zone out to tender at
Marine Power Systems (MPS) has launched a tender searching for a contractor to support the engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) of the wind turbine system for its combined wave energy and floating wind solution. Applicants are invited to submit their expressions of interest by
