The race for the largest wind turbine is heating up! 🏃♂️🏃♀️💨 Siemens Energy gears up to unveil a 21MW turbine to rival Chinese competitors in the renewable energy sector. This initiative marks a shift in the landscape where Chinese firms have taken the lead with massive turbines, such as the 18MW installation by Dongfang Electric Corporation. The upcoming project, backed by EU funding, is poised to reinvigorate competition among Western manufacturers following a lull attributed to setbacks and supply chain challenges. #RenewableEnergy #WindTurbine #Competition

A thought provoking read around offshore wind energy. My key take out was New Zealand will need to triple the volume of renewable energy generated to meet our net zero targets. Offshore wind offers one of the most credible pathways to increase generation at scale. An average 1 GW offshore wind farm could power around half a million homes. As the studies continue, I'm interested to see how these farms could impact our marine life and marine environment.

Exciting developments are taking shape in the offshore wind sector! RWE has unveiled the first 108-metre turbine blade manufactured at the Siemens Gamesa factory for the 1.4 GW Sofia Offshore Wind Farm. This milestone marks a significant leap towards advancing renewable energy projects, strengthening the UK's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The completion of such massive turbine blades is vital as they can enhance energy efficiency and drive down the cost of offshore wind generation. More details can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eXJrCWzp Our team has witnessed first-hand the transformative impact of large-scale offshore projects in recent years. As the industry continues to grow, it's clear that technology and innovation will play pivotal roles in shaping sustainable energy solutions. It’s uplifting to see the field progressing with projects like Sofia, which not only have the potential to provide power to over 1 million homes but also create countless job opportunities throughout the supply chain. As we reflect on these advancements, we encourage our network to consider: how can we further leverage innovation to accelerate the offshore wind race? 🌊 Let's share thoughts on how we can collectively contribute to a greener future. We want to hear your insights! #OffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #SiemensGamesa #RWE #EnergyTransition 

There is massive potential to increase the UK's renewable energy capacity by repowering older windfarms using new technology. We now routinely advise on repowering of wind projects, driven by vast improvements in turbine technology. The average lifespan of a wind turbine is 20 to 25 years. By 2040 more than 60% of the UK's current onshore wind capacity will be older than its expected lifecycle. For Feed-in-Tariff projects, Ofgem have changed its approach to alterations, repairs or replacement of generating equipment at accredited feed-in tariff installations. Previously, replacing equipment could have affected the FITs accreditation of the installation. The act of replacing generating equipment will not now, in itself, result in decommissioning and withdrawal of FITs accreditation. Any such modification would not be taken into consideration unless there was a breach of the FITs scheme rules. Ofgem considers this will allow generators to replace and temporarily remove generating equipment and retain an installation's accreditation. Why is this important? If you have an under-performing, inefficient, older wind turbine you may be able to substantially increase your long-term returns by replacing it with a newer model while still retaining the FIT accreditation. Please get in touch if this might apply to you. We can advise on how this might operate in practice. #windenergy #feedintariff

🗓📌 The Road to 2050 - SEAI Offshore Renewable Energy Technology Roadmap Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) has published its roadmap mapping out the pathway to harnessing Ireland’s ORE potential. The report concludes that fixed and floating offshore wind should play the dominant role in providing energy from our ocean. Galetech agrees with this conclusion and what’s particularly interesting in the report under one of its scenarios is that in order to achieve our 37GW ambition by 2050, 10GW of fixed offshore wind and 27GW of floating offshore wind will be needed along with 11GW of hydrogen electrolysis and 13GW of interconnection. It’s very encouraging to see some of the findings of the report show the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for floating wind technology approaching that of fixed wind technology over the next decade. While there has been great work on a raft of policy issued over the past year or two by DECC and government agencies, in light of the recent delay to the finalisation of the South Coast DMAP and consequently the ORESS2.1 auction, there is a timely reminder in SEAI’s report that it is important for Ireland to solidify frameworks for offshore #RenewableEnergy soon to reduce uncertainty. The report assumes the right policies and frameworks are in place to achieve the scenarios outlined – it’s clear from the report that timely policy decisions are needed if the annual installation rates detailed in the report are to be realised to meet our targets. 🎯 📜Read full report: 🔗https://lnkd.in/e3EVtgZ5 #WindEnergy #Windfluencer #OffshoreWind #SEAI
