Aberdeen firm North Star Renewables has secured £96 million to build its new renewables vessel fleet.

Enel invested around 3 billion Brazilian reais, equal to around 620 million euros at the current exchange rate, in the construction of the 716 MW Lagoa dos Ventos wind farm

While interest in marine-based energy systems appears to be growing, the current footprint of the industry and its technologies remains small. The news marks another major step forward for the U.K.’s nascent marine energy sector.

Siemens Gamesa says it has developed the first offshore wind turbine blades that can be fully recycled, potentially saving hundreds of thousands of bulky objects

North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper has issued an executive order calling for the development of 2.8 GW of offshore wind power by 2030, and 8 GW by 2040.

Shell and Scottish Power said they had the “right blend of skills and experience” to successfully deliver the floating offshore wind projects.

India is expected to install just over 20GW of wind power capacity between 2021 and 2025, a growth rate of nearly 50%, according to analysis from the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) and MEC Intelligence.

Partnering with Glosten, a design and consulting firm in the marine industry, and PelaStar, developer of the tension-leg platform floating wind turbine foundation, GE is designing and developing controls to support an offshore turbine structure that could be as large as 850+ feet.

A study from Oxford Brookes University researchers has found that vertical wind turbine design is considerably more efficient than the traditional form factor in large-scale wind farms, and in a certain arrangement can increase performance by up to 15 percent.
