On June 6, I will participate in the 19th edition of the hashtag#PSEW2024 Conference on Wind Energy! This will be a great opportunity to discuss key issues regarding the future of this industry that is crucial from our perspective 🌊⚡ . Together with other speakers, we will discuss important issues during two panels: 📍 At 11:30 a.m., you are cordially invited to the panel “National Specializations or Supply Chain Sustainability.” We will focus on the European supply chain, analyzing its opportunities and challenges. 📍📍 Then, at 14:45, I invite you to participate in the panel “Workshop - is it possible to produce offshore foundations and their components for wind towers in Poland?”. Together with the participants, we will consider the prospects for production in Poland, assessing its feasibility and potential. 📌 I cordially invite you to listen to the discussion, during which we will share our insights. See you in Swinoujscie! hashtag#energywiatrowa hashtag#offshore hashtag#energy hashtag#GPB

🔉The Netherlands Wind Energy Association (NWEA) has a new name #NedZero Jan Vos, Chairman NedZero: “Our new name is in line with the enormous development of our sector. Growth and ambition go hand in hand. We believe that not only the electricity system, but the entire energy system should be made CO2-free.” Wind energy is already the largest supplier of electricity in the #Netherlands. By 2030, 75 percent of Dutch electricity will come from wind turbines. Wind energy will continue to grow rapidly after 2030. Looking forward to continuing our great cooperation NedZero👏 Towards EUZero, BalticsZero and NordicsZero😅 New website in the comments👇 Brennus van Os van den Abeelen, Bert van der Lingen, Nicole Buissing, Minke Ouwehand, Netherlands Wind Energy Association (NWEA), wind & water works

🇱🇹 It's always a proud feeling to read about Lithuania in global media. We would like to thank reNEWS - Renewable Energy News for including our Otada Wind Park in Šakiai in their summary of wind energy development in the Baltic countries. As the construction of the Otada Wind Park turbines gains momentum, we would like to remind everyone about Lithuania's wind park plans for the upcoming two years. 🌬️💚 If you would like to get the latest news about the wind industry, subscribe to the reNEWS newsletter by contacting sales@renews.biz.  #Inikti #WindEnergy #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #GreenEnergy #WindTurbines 🌿

🌊💨 Eolus has submitted the permit application to build the floating offshore wind farm Skidbladner, with up to 147 wind turbines, about 20 kilometers north of Gotska Sandön.   According to Project Manager Cornelia Hartman, Skidbladner is expected to be ready by 2033. The electricity production is estimated to be 11.7 TWh per year, which corresponds to household electricity for millions of homes, or about half of Stockholm County's current electricity consumption and more than ten times Gotland's annual electricity needs.   "The goal is for Gotland to have a completely renewable energy system by 2040, and initiatives like the Skidbladner offshore wind farm fit very well into that plan", says Lars Thomsson, Coordinator of Energiön Gotland at Region Gotland. 🌿 Read the full press release through the link in the comments.   #Eolus #Renewables #RenewableEnergy #OffshoreWind #FloatingWind #ShapingTheFuture   Left picture: Photo of the Kincardine Offshore Wind Farm project courtesy of Principle Power.

Wind energy to dominate Greek-Egyptian GREGY interconnector as renewable focus shifts #Egypt #Electricity #Greece #Greece-egyptInterconnector #Gregy #Wind #WindEnergy https://lnkd.in/dNX4b-Ua

Türkiye have recently released a new auction after a silent period for renewable energy. See below the locations and project sizes. Note 1: RES means wind energy plant, GES means solar energy plant. Note 2: It says 2024 projects in the header but auctions will take place within 2025 Q1. What makes this announcement different than previous ones is: the government also declared that there will be official commitment to release a 2GW auction package (wind+solar) every year till 2035. Let's see... #türkiye #turkiye #turkey #windenergy #renewableenergy #windturbines #vestas #sustainablefuture

For any #communityenergy groups / #renewable energy supporters out there! Friends of the Earth have produced a couple of great resources: 1.  Mapping high level “suitable areas ” for wind and solar: https://lnkd.in/ewSk-yqA. Even with (to my mind) a conservative approach, it underlines the huge untapped potential for renewables. Rather than messing around requiring all 300+ local authorities to undertake renewable energy capacity studies, government should undertake this nationally (like FOE have done) and release a dataset. 2. A guide for supporting onshore solar and wind applications through the planning process: https://lnkd.in/e5KmQbTD Top work FOE! #climateaction

Odfjell Oceanwind, Source Galileo, and Kansai Electric Power Company have received NOK 2 billion in funding from Norwegian government agency Enova for its GoliatVIND floating offshore wind project. The 75 MW demonstration project is planned to feature Odfjell Oceanwind’s Deepsea Star foundations and five 15 MW wind turbines. The offshore wind farm will be connected to the Goliat platform, utilising the existing power cable to shore. The project is planned to be put into operation around 2027. This is great news as this will equate to producing roughly 320 kWh of renewable energy annually to the Hammerfest region which is the equivalent to the energy consumption of around 12,000 Norwegian households. 👏 learn more - https://goliatvind.no/ #goliat #goliatvind #renewableenergy #windpower #windenergy #windturbines

The Fraunhofer IWS Institute for Wind Energy Systems is joining forces with ENERTRAG SE to assist in planning an expansive onshore wind farm as part of Hyphen’s green hydrogen project in Namibia. “We are looking forward to collaborating closely with Fraunhofer IWES, drawing upon their experience and expertise in wind field analysis,” said Ulrich Heindl, Head of Department, Energy Systems, ENERTRAG. “Leveraging their vast knowledge gained from years of pioneering research, we are confident about achieving the optimal yield for our ambitious project. This collaboration marks a significant step towards mitigating planning risks and ensuring the best business case for the Hyphen project.” Covering 4,000 km2 and generating 4 GW of power, the scale of the project poses significant challenges for current site assessment methods, prompting Fraunhofer IWES to use innovative and precise approaches for wind field calculations to optimise yield. The area where the proposed solar and wind farms will be located are on the coast south of Lüderitz, which has distinctive climatic conditions, where extreme desert climate and cold Atlantic currents converge. The collaboration aims to navigate challenges posed by local variations in wind conditions, influenced by complex terrain and atmospheric conditions. “The proper assessment of a site is key to the economic success of a wind farm,” explained Dr Bernhard Stoevesandt, Head of Department Aerodynamics, CFD, and Stochastic Dynamics, Fraunhofer IWES. “The computational simulation methods allow local and time-dependent analysis of the yields for all wind turbine locations in a project of this scale." Marco Raffinetti, CEO of Hyphen, added: “The team at the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems IWES brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to Hyphen, and will help drive our project forward using innovative techniques and first-class analysis. "It is vital that we harness the power of Namibia’s wind and sun to create huge benefits for the country and its citizens, and we are pleased to welcome the institute on board.” #cleanenergy
