Dive into the complexities of state permitting for offshore wind projects in the US.

Aker Solutions has signed a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract with the Marine Energy Test Centre (METCentre) in Norway to pilot new subsea power system technology which has the potential to significantly reduce the costs and complexity of offshore wind farms.  Read The Full Article:- https://lnkd.in/e-9e9su6 “The Subsea Collector is a great example of true industry collaboration. Combining Aker Solutions’ vast subsea experience with our partner’s proven control and connection systems, we aim to solve challenges currently facing the offshore wind sector. We hope this project will result in a field proven system that can benefit the industry for many years to come,” says Jo Kjetil Krabbe, executive vice president of Power Solutions at Aker Solutions.   “This pioneering project will contribute to shaping the infrastructure in future large scale floating wind parks. The technology is under development, and the project demonstrates how Norwegian subsea expertise from the oil and gas industry drives innovation forward within floating offshore wind on a global scale,” says Arvid Nesse, CEO of METCentre and Norwegian Offshore Wind.  More News At Workboat365.com Subscribe To The Workboat365 LinkedIn Weekly News https://lnkd.in/eMY2JUnT #offshorewind #offshorewindenergy #floatingwind #floatingoffshorewind #shipbuilding #commercialmarine #maritimeindustry #maritime #marine #marineindustry

Getting More Offshore Wind Energy to Northern California & Southern Oregon

The 2024 U.S. offshore wind update has been issued by the American Clean Power Association (ACP). The highlights are: 1️⃣ 12 gigawatts (GW) of OSW projects with active offtake agreements 2️⃣ 4 GW under active construction at Vineyard Wind, Revolution Wind, and Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind 3️⃣ 56 GW under development across 37 leases 4️⃣ Projected OSW capacity online: 7.6 GW by 2027, 14 GW by 2030, 30 GW by 2033, and 40 GW by 2035 5️⃣ $3 billion in 2023 supply side investments; 40 new vessels currently on order or under construction

The projects, totalling over 1700MW of #cleanenergy, will be the largest #powergeneration projects in New York State in over 35 years once they enter operation in 2026, according to Governor Kathy Hochul. In addition, the award enables the construction of the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal, which will be used in the construction of offshore wind projects in the state, she said.

the only wind projects that should be getting planning permission is offshore wind farms .

Via Utility Dive: " New England offshore wind procurement taps 2.9 GW, less than half the total initially sought: Massachusetts and Rhode Island selected projects but Connecticut did not. The regional procurement aimed to procure up to 6.8 GW. " #Energy #Utility #Utilities

Floating offshore wind will be an extremely important lever for the UK to deliver on its energy transition ambition. The UK has been a leader in other offshore wind technologies and remains a market leader and is really well placed to capitalize on its strong position, but floating offshore wind needs a different approach to bottom fixed, it requires the development and integration of new technologies, and the development of a supply chain and industrial infrastructure, if we are to capture the full economic benifits for the future. It is great to see so much focus on the #energytransition from New Civil Engineer in this months edition! Not least on this and on the need for upgrade and development of the wider system. It is important that as there has been with bottom fixed over the last 15-20 years, there is a runway to allow projects to learn, scale up and drive out costs so that when we need them at scale we have sufficient depth in our supply chain, industry learning and skills to meet our energy transition goals. That means action now. Arup is proud to be working across the energy system, whether this is working with government, working with developers, ports, transmission and distribution network operators and the wider supply chain, to de bottleneck and accelerate the route to net zero. #aruproud #offshorewind #transmission
