Siemens Gamesa has a 57% share, or six projects with 7.34 GW in total capacity, of the US development projects that have already selected a supplier, according to data from the American Clean power Association. Denmark’s Vestas comes in second with 32%, while US-based GE Vernova closes the gap in third place with 11%. Vestas’ share is accounted for by the 1.51 gigawatt Atlantic Shores South 1 project, owned by EDF and Shell, and the 810 megawatt (MW) Empire Wind 1, owned by Equinor.

Ampelmann Boosts Taiwan’s Offshore Wind Market with Two E1000 Systems Reading Time: 1 minutesAmpelmann, the Dutch offshore access provider, has bagged a contract for two E1000 systems in Taiwan. These will support Vestas Taiwan in turbine commissioning, reaffirming Ampelmann’s role in expanding Taiwan’s offshore wind market. The E1000 motion compensated system is based on Ampelmann’s E-type system technology but has additional capacity to handle cargo of up to 1,000kg. The system can compensate for waves up to 4.5m Hs and takes less than one minute to change from people to cargo transfer mode. The first E1000 started operating in January 2024, while the second is set to begin in May […] - https://lnkd.in/d-_YmA4s #windenergy #windturbines #offshorewind #windturbine #cleanenergy #climatechange #sustainability #energynews #smartenergy #windfarm #windindustry #renewableenergy #renewables #ampelmann #asia #offshorewind #renewableenergy #taiwan #thenetherlands #vestas #windenergy #windturbines

Netherlands-headquartered Sif Group has signed the final contracts with Polenergia and Equinor for the supply of 100 monopiles for the Bałtyk II and Bałtyk III offshore wind farms in the Polish Baltic Sea. Manufacturing of the monopiles is scheduled for the second quarter of 2025 with completion in 2026. The agreement marks a final step following the reservation agreement signed by the two parties for the supply of the monopiles in April 2023. The two wind farms of 50 units each will have a total capacity of 1,440 MW and will be located in the Polish exclusive economic zone of the Baltic Sea, about 37 kilometres and 22 kilometres from the coastline near Ustka and Łeba. Recently, the developers of the offshore wind farms also finalised contracts for the supply of wind turbines. Bałtyk II and Bałtyk III will feature 100 Siemens Gamesa SG 14-236 DD wind turbines. The offshore wind farms are expected to produce first power as early as 2027 while the commercial stage of their use is planned a year later. In the second phase of the development of the Polish offshore wind sector, Equinor and Polenergia are also implementing the Bałtyk I project. An offshore wind farm with a capacity of up to 1,560 MW will be located approximately 80 km from the coast near Łeba. All three Bałtyk wind farms will have a total capacity of up to 3 GW, providing green energy to over four million households, according to the developers. #renewableenergy #wind #carbon60 #energy #offshorewind #engineering

As offshore wind energy ventures into deeper waters, the industry is poised for a remarkable transformation with the rise of Floating Offshore Wind (FOW) farms. This growth heralds a significant increase in the number and size of Floating Offshore Wind Turbine (FOWT) foundations, presenting both exciting opportunities and formidable challenges. Despite the promising advancements, the industry faces a bottleneck in the efficiency of T&I for FOWT foundations. Feedback and studies highlight a scarcity of information and resources related to T&I, compounded by constraints in vessel capacity and availability. Addressing these challenges is crucial to meet the burgeoning demand and ensure the sustainable expansion of FOW. We invite you to join this Joint Industry Project (JIP) as we look to gather inputs and insights from industry collaborators in addressing supply chain challenges. By joining our initiative, you will: • Directly influence design requirements: Play a pivotal role in shaping T&I standards for FOWT foundations. • Gain industry insights: Stay ahead with knowledge on current trends in vessels and FOWT foundations. • Be prepared for the future: Acquire early insights into future expectations for FOWT foundations and vessel design requirements. • Learn cost-efficient methods: Discover the most economical strategies for T&I of FOWT foundations.

Interesting to observe that the increased market share of larger and more modern bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines has resulted in i) an increased frequency of O&M interventions utilizing jack-up vessels, and ii) a longer average duration per jack-up vessel intervention, as blade exchanges (which are generally one of the fastest major component replacements) no longer constitute the majority of such O&M campaigns. #offshorewind #maintenance #jackup

Norwegian Floating Offshore Wind Project Gets EUR 175 Million Boost Odfjell Oceanwind, Source Galileo, and Kansai Electric Power Co., Ltd have received NOK 2 billion (approximately EUR 175 million) in state funding from Norwegian government agency Enova for its GoliatVIND floating offshore wind project. Located approximately 95 kilometres from Hammerfest at a depth of 300-400 metres, the GoliatVIND floating offshore wind project could add 320 GWh of renewable energy to the Hammerfest region. The 75 MW demonstration project is planned to feature Odfjell Oceanwind’s Deepsea Star foundations and five 15 MW wind turbines. The wind turbine tower will have a height of 135-170 metres while the rotor diameter will be between 220 and 260 metres. The offshore wind farm will be connected to the Goliat platform, utilising the existing power cable to shore. According to our previous news, the project is planned to be put into operation in 2027. “This grant is a breakthrough for Odfjell Oceanwind and our technologies and is an important step towards us demonstrating the Deepsea Star(TM) with 15 MW turbines. The award is a result of a great team effort from all three partners in the consortium. It also demonstrates the Government’s continued commitment to let Norwegian companies lead the way in the global floating offshore wind market,” said Per Lund, CEO of Odfjell Oceanwind. According to the Norwegian government agency, there will be another application round for floating offshore wind in the fall. Astrid Lilliestråle director of technology and market development at Enova, said that they are planning a new call for proposals with a deadline of 15 September. My View - This is great news for the consortium and the floating wind industry, as €175m is awarded towards the 75 MW project, demonstrating the governments commitment to clean energy and floating wind.
