Offshore Renewables

New UK/US research aims to reduce the levelised cost of energy (LCoE) in offshore floating wind by investigating the effects of using wake steering.

A new report analyses the technical opportunities and challenges for the floating offshore wind sector to overcome, as it moves towards commercial scale farms.

Rigorous tests have proved that a tidal power developer’s underwater turbines have the necessary build quality to survive for twenty years in the field.

Nova Innovation and Sabella have recently joined forces to develop tidal energy projects in French and UK waters.

A Spanish developer has secured a multi-million euro grant through the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator programme to launch its first commercial floating wind project.

Jan De Nul Group has finished installing a total of 72 wind turbines of 8.4MW each on behalf of Vattenfall Denmark at Kriegers Flak offshore wind farm.

More than 200GW of new offshore wind projects have been announced since the beginning of 2020.

We’re all onboard with the increasing carbon reduction benefits of moving to ever larger and more efficient offshore wind turbines, but what do we do with the thousands of scrap blades?
