🙌 Happy #GlobalWindDay! The wind industry plays a crucial role in driving the energy transition. But did you know that PPAs are an increasingly key route to market for wind energy? 📈 By signing a PPA, corporate energy buyers can help finance a new wind or solar farm. This is a fantastic way to utilise private capital for Europe’s energy transition. In 2023, almost 12 TWh of electricity was generated by wind farms under a PPA. 💨🍃There is a huge demand for wind energy at the moment – RE-Source is proud to work every day with its founding members, including WindEurope, and leading renewable energy suppliers to help unlock more wind for corporate buyers. #windenergy #WorkingInWind #renewableenergy #corporatesustainability #PPAs

Nordex has recently secured three orders for three wind projects in Scotland totalling 150MW. The company will supply a total of 25 turbines for the undisclosed wind farms which will all be built in the north of Scotland in 2026. 🌬️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Nordex will supply and install seven N149/5.X machines for one site, another seven of the same model alongside two N133/4.8 units for a second 50MW wind farm in the country, and the third and final site will feature 11 N149/5.X turbines. This is a clear indication of Nordex's continuous efforts towards contributing to the global shift towards clean and renewable energy sources. ♻️💨🌍 This recent development by Nordex is not only a significant achievement for the company but also for the renewable energy sector in Scotland. #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #WindPower

The Virginia offshore wind industry was recently spotlighted in an op-ed in offshoreWIND.biz: “Offshore wind is surging ahead with momentum, delivering jobs, economic opportunities, and renewable energy to communities across the country.” #VirginiaOffshoreWind https://lnkd.in/dEpCudcH

The central German state of Hesse has set itself the goal of sourcing its electricity entirely from renewable sources by 2045. To achieve this ambitious target, an increase in installed capacity by sixfold by 2030 is necessary. Consequently, a continuous and reliable expansion of renewable energy is essential. 🌎💚 Since 2013, the VSB Group has actively contributed to this initiative in Hesse. 🌬☀️ Our Vockenrod wind farm, serenely situated in the Antrifttal in the Vogelsberg area, is now equipped with three modern Nordex N149-5.X wind turbines, which together generate a capacity of 17.1 megawatts. There’s more good news: Following a successful bidding process in February, we have received permission to expand the wind farm. Construction for two additional turbines is planned for the fourth quarter of 2024, with expected operational commencement in the spring of 2026. 🙌 Further information: 👉 https://lnkd.in/dMBXYCmd (English Version) 👉 https://lnkd.in/dVStV-Fp (German Version) #VSBGroup #Vockenrod #WindFarm #Hesse #WindEnergy #Sustainability #greenandclean

Here is a great example of what we can achieve with policy measures that support renewable energy! Well done to all my Vestas colleagues for securing the largest global order for our V163-4.5 MW turbine AND the largest onshore wind order in Vestas' US history – coming in the wake of our recent manufacturing investment in Colorado. These milestones were boosted by the provisions under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). To stay on track with the 1.5 degrees pathway, we need more countries to dial up policy measures in support of renewable energy.

There have been tremendous progress in offshore energy technologies as seen in Germany's Baltic sea operations and the Hornsea Project in the UK, one of the world's largest offshore wind farms. IGP™ will lead in innovations to integrate those offshore energy sources into the grid.
