Offshore Renewables

A Basque consortium believes that the future of offshore wind power lies in the design of new floating offshore substations.

Workers at a Scottish offshore wind farm will soon be able to relieve themselves at convenience thanks to an investment in purpose-built windfarm toilets.

Contracts have been awarded for the provision of three Service Operation Vessels for the 3.6GW Dogger Bank Wind Farm in the North Sea.

Wave energy developers will soon have a new way to advance their technology with the development of a new project.

Two new UK ports will be constructed to support the development of next-generation offshore wind projects with up to GB£95m investment.

A new combined wind and wave generating project that is aimed at harnessing the enormous power potential of the Atlantic Ocean is planned.

An application for a permit to develop what is termed ‘a clean energy hub’ in the Adriatic Sea off the port of Ravenna has been submitted writes Dag Pike.

In December last year, an international wave energy consortium launched the VALID project, a 5M€ EU-backed initiative focused on the development of a hybrid testing platform for ocean energy.

Two collaborative R&D projects are taking place that aim at better understanding and predicting breaking waves in order to optimise the design of offshore wind turbines.

After securing a private placement of 9 MEUR, wave energy developer CorPower has extended its equity funding to 20.3 MEUR, for commercial scale demonstration.
