World Adds 10.8 GW Of New #OffshoreWind Capacity In 2023 In 2023, despite the macroeconomic challenges faced by the sector in some key markets, the wind industry installed 10.8 GW of new offshore wind capacity, taking the global total to 75.2 GW, a new report from the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) said. #windenergy #renewableenergy

The offshore wind industry is facing challenges that may result in falling short of global capacity targets. A recent analysis by energy consultancy Westwood highlights the industry's struggle to meet projections for floating wind installations. Market upheavals, inflation, and challenges related to technology standardisation and infrastructure are contributing to a shift in industry sentiment. While there is cautious optimism about the potential of floating wind, stakeholders emphasise the need to invest in manufacturing capability and infrastructure. The industry's future growth prospects remain significant, but collaboration and innovation will be crucial in overcoming these challenges. What do you think?

Offshore Wind Sector Moves Forward in #Spain 🇪🇸 The approval of the updated National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) 2023-2030 and the Royal Decree on Offshore Wind Power is a major milestone in Spain's renewable energy journey. 📊 Key targets by 2030: 62 GW of wind power 3 GW of offshore wind This is a decisive step in advancing offshore wind development, with the first auction set for 2025 and clear pathways for growth. 🌍 Key Areas of Focus: 1. Streamlining wind project approvals 2. Incentivising electrification to balance demand and supply 3. Ensuring wind power coexists harmoniously with communities and the environment 4. Auctions that prioritise decarbonisation and value beyond price 5. Strengthening the entire Spanish wind power value chain #RenewableEnergy #WindPower #OffshoreWind #Spain #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #PNIEC #GreenGrowth

Amidst the ever-changing landscape of renewable energy, different states are taking varied stances on wind energy. While Florida is setting boundaries for offshore wind energy, others like Texas and Louisiana stride towards achieving ambitious wind power goals.

🚨 As the push for renewable energy surges, offshore wind farms are stepping up as key players in the race for sustainable power. But there's a critical issue looming—wind turbine wakes—and it's more problematic than many realize. These wakes, areas of reduced wind flow downstream of turbines, can lead to power deficits of up to 30% in some cases. Experts are raising alarms that the current models for predicting these effects are inadequate, potentially threatening the future of offshore wind projects. 💡 Learn how Swarm™ is revolutionizing offshore wind power with cutting-edge turbine control strategies that optimize energy production and reduce wake losses. 👉 Read the full blog to understand why addressing wind turbine wakes could be the key to ensuring the future success of offshore wind: https://hubs.la/Q02-JYq_0 #OffshoreWind #RenewableEnergy #WindTurbines #SustainablePower #WindESCo #EnergyInnovation #CleanEnergy

Poland Launches Offshore Wind Era with Baltic Power Project, Driving Energy Security and EU Decarbonization Goals Reading Time: 3 minutesPoland is ramping up its domestic offshore wind supply chain to become the leading offshore wind player in the Baltic Sea. Work on the construction of two substations for Poland’s first offshore wind farm is now complete. This marks the kick-off of commercial-scale offshore wind development in Polish waters. Meanwhile, the Polish Presidency of the Council of the EU has made energy security and industrial competitiveness two of its main priorities. On 23 January 2025, Grupa Przemysłowa Baltic (GPB), a Polish company specializing in manufacturing complex steel structures, hosted a high-level event to celebrate the completion of […] - https://lnkd.in/dKMCwu5v #windenergy #windturbines #offshorewind #windturbine #cleanenergy #climatechange #sustainability #energynews #smartenergy #windfarm #windindustry #renewableenergy #renewables #decarbonisation #energysecurity #eu #europe #offshorewind #renewableenergy #windenergy #windfarm #windeurope

I’ve just read Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC)’s annual offshore wind report, which was published last week. Despite the challenges the offshore wind industry faced last year, 2023 saw the second-highest number of installations and the industry is primed to see continued global   growth📈. The report also highlighted how:    - 2023 saw connection of 11 GW of offshore wind to the grid globally (an increase of 24% year-on-year)  - In Europe, a new wave of markets neighboring the North and Baltic Seas, Mediterranean, and Atlantic Ocean are seeing offshore wind as a way to enable economic and industrial growth.   - With the right frameworks in place, the world can be on course to deploy 410 GW by 2033.    But it’s not time to get complacent. If we are to meet individual country targets, we must maintain momentum and focus on installing capacity that enables us to reach these goals. We are racing against time to get new wind plants up and running to supply communities with green energy and save our planet from rising carbon emissions. 🌎     #EnergyTransition #OffshoreWind #MoreWindNow
