The California Energy Commission (CEC) has adopted a strategic plan that will guide the state’s development of offshore wind energy. The plan outlines analysis and strategies to deploy floating turbines off California’s central and northern coasts with a planning goal of 25 GW of capacity by 2045, enough to power 25 million homes. 🔗Read more about this story and our other notable updates mentioned below in this week's Renewable Energy Update: https://hubs.li/Q02Hbkt30 ✔️ San Diego County to adopt standards on future battery storage facilities ✔️ 13 senators call on Treasury to loosen rules for hydrogen energy tax credit ✔️ Offshore wind developer gets permit to map seafloor in state waters off SLO County coast #RenewableEnergy #Energy #California

📣 News from Virginia: the largest US offshore wind farm gets final permit. Last week, the final air quality permit was granted for Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind Commercial, CVOW-C, project which signalled the final step in authorizing the construction and operation of this large-scale wind farm. Once complete the site will have the capacity to power 660,000 homes via it’s 176 turbines. This promise of renewable energy supply is a welcome contributor to realizing the Biden-Harris Administrators goal of generating 30 gigawatts of clean energy by 2030. #renewableenergy #USOffshoreWind https://lnkd.in/e-nk6Tni

Did you know that the EU added 17 GW of new wind energy in 2023, of which only 3 GW was offshore wind energy? 🌍 While we're happy to see a growth in wind energy development compared to 2022, we're still far behind the 30 GW of new wind farms that is needed on an annual basis to meet the 2030 climate and energy security targets. Offshore wind plays a key role in meeting these targets. 📈 2024 will be an exciting year, and we hope to see that policy initiatives such as the European Wind Power Package translates into industry impact and improving the amount offshore wind energy added. #offshorewind #offshorewindenergy

Bring it on! Chancellor Rachel Reeves yesterday laid down the gauntlet to the renewable energy sector, lifting the effective ban on onshore wind in England. This opens up a huge opportunity, initially to catch up on lost time and then to grow onshore wind to the status it should have in the overall UK energy mix. Insights below from the Ashfords LLP energy consenting team, led by Stephen Humphreys. Aside from the obvious challenge of bringing suitable sites forward through TCPA applications or the NSIP regime (we await clarification) the industry must come together and work with national government to ensure delivery at pace. In particular local decision makers will need sufficient skilled resource to properly assess and help shape projects if this opportunity is to be fully grasped.
Yesterday, the government changed the National Planning Policy Framework to lift the ‘ban’ on new onshore wind developments in England. They have put onshore wind on the same footing, in policy terms, as other renewable energy technologies. While this change is fully welcomed by the industry, what does it mean in terms of delivery? Our article offers an analysis of the different factors that could still affect the application process for onshore wind proposals.

We are delighted to celebrate the incredible progress of Vineyard Wind 1, now the largest operating offshore wind project in the United States! Delivering over 136 megawatts to Massachusetts’ electric grid is a powerful testament to the promise and potential of offshore wind energy. At Empire Energy Partners, we commend Vineyard Offshore and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners for their leadership and unwavering dedication to advancing renewable energy. This landmark project not only showcases the immense capabilities of offshore wind but also sets a high benchmark for future developments in the sector. The achievements of Vineyard Wind 1 resonate deeply with our mission. From creating clean energy jobs to supporting local communities, each milestone underscores the vital role of renewable energy in building a sustainable future. The successful commissioning of 10 turbines, with more to come, brings us closer to a greener, more resilient energy system. We are particularly inspired by Vineyard Wind's commitment to local, highly skilled, and diverse tradespeople. The collaboration with union leadership and the creation of 937 union jobs through construction illustrate the positive economic impact and community benefits of such initiatives. This aligns perfectly with our values at Empire Energy Partners, where we strive to support economic growth and create high-quality union jobs in our local communities. As Vineyard Wind 1 continues to grow, reaching its full capacity of 806 MW, it will not only provide clean electricity to 400,000 homes and businesses but also save customers significant costs and reduce carbon emissions substantially. These benefits highlight the critical role offshore wind plays in meeting New England’s energy needs, particularly during winter peak demand. Empire Energy Partners is proud to stand alongside industry leaders like Vineyard Offshore, championing the transition to renewable energy. Together, we are powering a cleaner, more sustainable future.

The new government has announced that the budget for the UK’s upcoming clean energy auction is increasing to a record £1.5bn. This budget increase will raise offshore wind funding to £1.1bn, onshore wind and solar to £185m, and emerging technologies like floating offshore wind and tidal to £270m. We work closely with a range of market leaders within the renewable energy sector, providing products such as turbine blades and power generation equipment. It's great to see a significant increase in the budget for clean energy, and we look forward to the positive benefits this will bring to the environment.

The #European offshore wind nations have recently increased their offshore wind development targets drastically, from the at least 60GW goal as set out in the EU Offshore Renewable Energy Strategy back in November 2020 to an overall goal of installing about 111 GW of offshore renewable generation capacity by 2030.
