The wind power industry needs more than half a million technicians by 2028 in order to meet soaring demands for new wind energy, according to a new report by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) and the Global Wind Organisation #windpower #energytransition https://lnkd.in/er-hAZCJ

Long-term wind farm critic President Donald Trump sparked apprehension in the US wind energy industry by committing to halt windmill construction, both onshore and offshore, during his presidential term.

How to unlock 300 GW of wind power in the North Sea.   At the North Sea Wind Power Hub, we have studied an innovative approach to unlocking the potential from offshore wind.   After five years of work, we can show that a hubs-and-spokes approach will 1) meet the EU goals for renewable energy, 2) secure energy supply and deliver a high degree of European energy independence, 3) all in a cost competitive way.   The map shows what a future hubs-and-spokes buildout could look like.   We recently released our two main reports that conclude all the work from our three TSO’s – Energinet, Gasunie and TenneT, co-financed by the Connecting Europe Facility of the European Union.   Visit https://lnkd.in/dCYuyYrW to explore the main reports and a vast number of supporting papers.

A new rule from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is paving the way for long-term transmission planning. By expanding market and grid access, this rule will accelerate the integration of clean energy resources like offshore wind across the country.

The TDC Home and Building Depot has once again shone the spotlight on the importance of renewable energy, energy conservation, and efficiency, at the recently held Ministry of Public Infrastructure, Utilities et al, Energy Unit National Energy Fair. - READ MORE -> https://lnkd.in/e8gHERGW

ACP strongly opposes blanket measures to halt or impede development of domestic wind energy. ACP CEO Jason Grumet says in a new statement, “regardless of Administration, ‘some of the above’ strategies are not good energy policy.” Read the full ACP statement on the Trump Administration’s Executive Orders on wind energy development: https://bit.ly/42m0188

🗺️🔍 Check out this Storymap for an in-depth look into the data-driven science and marine spatial planning process used to pinpoint the most suitable locations for offshore wind development offshore Oregon. 🤝🌐 By assessing over 30 data layers – on fisheries, protected species, industry, and wind speeds – we partnered with @NCCOS to craft a detailed map that identifies areas with the least conflict with other ocean users. This approach ensures that we can balance the needs of all stakeholders, including tribal and local communities to industry representatives and environmental conservation groups. 🌊⚡Dive into the science driving our decision-making process and discover the potential for Oregon’s renewable energy future! #UnleashTheScience

It’s an important day for New England energy! Today, our grid operator, ISO New England Inc., filed with FERC critical changes to its rules to implement a state-driven procurement process for regional transmission. If FERC approves the changes, the New England states will be positioned to request that ISO New England issue an RFP for offshore wind transmission or other facilities that would provide benefits across the region. These are exactly the kind of proactive steps we need to get projects designed, developed, and deployed on our path to a clean energy future! https://lnkd.in/eMm7ah_G

Last week Bureau of Ocean Energy Management proposed offshore wind auctions off Oregon's coast.
