The EU's 2030 #wind energy targets are within reach! According to a new report from WindEurope, improvements in permitting, investments, and electricity grids will be key enablers for meeting these targets. What else does the report foresee? 🎯 approximately 29GW will be installed per year up to 2030 📣 #grids are the main bottleneck for a timely and accelerated deployment of wind farms, both onshore and offshore 🤝 to prevent further delays with grid deployment, we must implement the EU Action Plan for Grid! 💡Read more 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/evuZsiWq

Wind turbine protection market on the rise: Thin margins in renewable energy push investors to find ways to prevent performance drops and reduce costs. This has fueled growth in the wind turbine protection market (e.g., various coatings against rain erosion or icing), which is expected to reach $2.8 billion by 2029 (see link in the comments). However, these materials’ effectiveness varies by site. Based on our experience with Kavaken clients, investors should use operational data from pilot turbines at their sites for feasibility assessments rather than rely solely on providers’ claims and it is good practice to test out promised outcomes on a smaller batch before fleet wide implementations.

Ocean energy - turning wind into electricity 💨 Did you know, that 50% of our deliveries for offshore construction are for renewable energy and that offshore wind farms generate twice as much energy as onshore wind farms? The Energy transition & increasing energy demand propelling constructing and installation of ever – growing wind turbines to establish a reliable and renewable energy supply, using higher wind speeds at sea. Depending on the location of the wind farm and the water depth, various foundations can be used such as monopiles, jackets or floating foundations. The rising weights of the turbines but also increasing storms, waves and bad weather conditions call for ever higher material properties. No problem at all, we are the first choice for high quality and innovative heavy plates and setting every foundation contributing the energy transition 😉 Click here for more information 👉https://lnkd.in/evuCJ_4P #voestalpinegrobblech #madeinaustria #steel #energy #wind #offshorewind #offshoreenergy 

Scotland achieves the world’s first generator swap on offshore wind turbines! In a groundbreaking development, Dutch firm LiftOff, in partnership with Vestas, successfully swapped the generator of a 9.5 MW offshore turbine without towing it to port. Typically, such maintenance requires major components to be towed to land, but this new method, involving an up-tower crane, changes the game for the industry. The swap, which took place off the coast of Aberdeen, Scotland, earlier this year, marks a new era for offshore wind turbine maintenance—reducing downtime, costs, and boosting efficiency in renewable energy production. #RenewableEnergy #WindPower #Innovation #Sustainability #OffshoreEnergy #Scotland

The shift to floating wind turbines is especially evident in countries such as Japan, France, Italy, and the U.S., where utilizing the abundant wind resources in deeper waters with fixed wind turbines is a problem. Europe, with around 80% of its offshore wind resources at depths of more than 60 meters, is at the forefront of the development of floating offshore wind farms, with more than 40 GW of planned capacity by 2035. #floating #floatingwind #turbine #offshorewind #floatingoffshorewind https://lnkd.in/dXEADbNX

Offshore wind has become a dominant energy resource within the renewable energy market, but offshore wind has been relatively limited to shallow waters, restricting how many nations can harness its true potential.  https://lnkd.in/ey3Zt-9F

ONLINE EVENT: Turbine Talks - Grid Matters Webinar 📅 Date: 23 July 2024 ⏱ 10:00AM - 13:30PM SAWEA would like to invite you to our Turbine Talks: Grid Matters Webinar, that will define key grid capacity and allocation concepts and mechanisms to clarify market uncertainties on grid matters. Due to several changes and developments that have occurred in the past few years regarding the procedure and requirements for acquiring grid access for renewable energy projects, there are aspects of the grid access framework and processes which have created uncertainty in the market. This webinar will be a platform for industry grid experts to present up to date information on aspects of the Interim Grid Capacity Allocation Rules (IGCAR), Curtailment, and the Gated Generators Connection Process (GGCP or Proposed Gated Process). The webinar is an opportunity to gain insights from the industry experts on the latest developments, hear from members on areas of uncertainty and create alignment within the wind sector.
