The largest renewable energy infrastructure project in the U.S. has officially broken ground. After finally being approved in May, the SunZia wind project will install a 3.5 gigawatt capacity wind farm in central New Mexico and stretch 550 miles of transmission lines to central Arizona, then westward into California. The SunZia wind project is estimated to fulfill the energy needs of 3 million people when the project comes online in 2026. This project is beginning in the midst of what is estimated to be the biggest year for renewable energy projects in the U.S. https://hubs.li/Q02515-M0

How long does it take to build an offshore wind farm? 📅 It takes an average of 12 years to build an offshore wind farm! This is too long. And two-thirds of voters from our recent poll agree. 🗳️ We asked over 6,000 people for their views on energy infrastructure. Two-thirds said we need to speed up the planning and development of renewable energy infrastructure. What do you think?

Fascinating post Mr Keenan be interested in seeing how the concerns Noel Cunniffe addressed can be resolved. Upgrading that grid by 2030..!!! #renewables #offshorewind #energy #netzero #development #Ireland #onshorewind

Strong winds in September delivered a third consecutive record-breaking month of wind power generation in Ireland, as the volume of electricity generated by wind last month was up 25 per cent on the same time last year, according to Wind Energy Ireland.

Today is celebrated the World Wind Day, this date was created in 2007 for GWEC to promote Wind Energy. A few facts about Wind Energy from Brazil: - Wind Energy was resposible for 13% of the generated energy in Brazil in 2023; - We have more than 650 met masts in the Operational Regulated Market, this not include the prospection or the Operational Free Market; - 28 GW Operational, 7th country in 2023. Cheers for today and I’m more than happy that I keep contributing for some of these numbers.

🌬️ U.S. Advances in Offshore Wind Energy 💡 Despite challenges, the U.S. is making significant strides in offshore wind energy. New auctions for wind farms off the East Coast in 2024, aiming to power 2.2 million homes. 🚧 Challenges & Responses: Economic and supply chain issues have caused project delays, but states like New Jersey and Louisiana are moving forward with their own initiatives. 🌟 Latest Development: The 2600 megawatt Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project recently approved, part of a broader national effort to boost renewable energy. 🔗 Interested in the future of U.S. renewable energy?

Already the fourth-largest wind market in the world, #India🇮🇳 has tremendous potential to expand its domestic #wind capacity. High-level targets have been set to reach 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, including 140 GW of wind energy. But recent annual growth has slowed, averaging 1.74 GW over the last five years. As this report from Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) demonstrates, policy corrections could enable an ambitious scenario of more than 26 GW in wind installations over the next five years through 2027.
