What does the future of hold for the offshore wind industry? 🌊 Our newest report explores several potential scenarios for the offshore wind industry’s future, which in turn uncovers new projections for how the industry may fair across the globe. Notably, a ‘just for the heroes’ scenario predicts new projects representing 10-15 GW per year over the next decade reaching FID, 30-50 percent lower than current predictions. Read more about these insights and their implications for offshore wind’s future here. https://mck.co/46aMyQA #OffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #EnergyTransition

Guide to the future of wind energy: The Hamburg Wind Fair Symposium shows the way! The Hamburg Wind Fair Symposium discussed key issues that will shape the future of wind energy: - Challenges: Installing 150 GW of wind power annually by 2030. - Increasing efficiency: Maximising wind turbine efficiency and reducing wake losses in offshore wind farms. - Sustainability: 30% of wind turbines are over 15 years old. Extending their lifetime and investing in advanced monitoring systems is therefore crucial. - Economic efficiency: Transparent pricing and reduction of generation costs are needed, as well as investment in the grid and its capacity. - Technological progress: 300 meters wind turbines - a milestone or a potential loss of efficiency? The discussions and insights from the symposium reinforce my commitment to innovation and sustainability. I see these challenges as opportunities to actively shape the future of wind energy. #WindFairHamburg #WindEnergyInnovation #SustainableFuture #RenewableEnergy #EfficientEnergy

#renewables Maine and US Agree On 1st Research Lease For Floating Offshore Wind Maine and the US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) have agreed on a floating offshore wind research lease, with a potential capacity to deploy 12 floating wind turbines, generating 144 MW. The 15 square mile lease site is in the Gulf of Maine, 30 miles off Portland, and is intended to allow the state, the offshore wind industry and fish and wildlife experts to evaluate floating wind as an energy source. Prior to the commencement of construction, there will be an environmental analysis, review and approval by BOEM of a research activities plan, and final approval of a power purchase agreement by the Maine Public Utilities Commission. The proposed research array will utilize platform technology designed at the University of Maine, and deployed by Diamond Offshore Wind.

This summer, the U.S. offshore wind industry has achieved several key milestones and continues to see substantial growth. With the industry coming to life, we are beginning to see its benefits reverberate throughout American communities. Sam Salustro, Vice President of Strategic Communication at Oceantic Network, speaks on how America will reap the benefits of this burgeoning the offshore wind industry in his recent op-ed, “The Offshore Wind Industry Is Strengthening American Communities—We Must Not Change Course” As four new projects are set to add 5 GW of clean energy to the grid, these projects are benefitting American communities by bringing in billions of new investment, and thousands of new jobs. Read about the various ways these projects have brought, and will continue to bring, opportunities across the U.S.: https://lnkd.in/dVryWNUH

NY cancels 3 offshore wind projects - total capacity of 4GW 3 of the winners from NY Bight had been awarded OREC agreements (Attentive 1 - Total, Corio, Rise; Community - RWE and NG; and Excelsior - Vineyard/CIP https://lnkd.in/eb6P3KHd . This seems due to the projects no longer being able to contract for 18MW turbines.
