GWEC’s Global Offshore Wind Report highlights that offshore wind is truly going global, with rapid growth in new markets and new technology innovations such as floating offshore wind, megaturbines and Power-to-X opening new opportunities for…

GE Renewable Energy has planned to recruit 300 employees at its LM Wind Power wind turbine blade manufacturing site in Cherbourg, France, in 2021. Any new recruit will go through a rigorous preparation program to master wind turbine blade production processes at the factory’s “Center of Excellence.” With a greater manufacturing workforce, LM Wind Power will be able to satisfy the increasing market demand for offshore wind equipment. The factory currently employs over 450 people, with women accounting for 34% of the workforce. When it opened nearly three years ago in April 2018, it became France’s first wind turbine blade…

The desert photovoltaic power plant in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China, which used Antaisolar manu-adjustable solar fixed solar racking and had an installed capacity of 100MW, has been successfully connected to the local grid. It effectively encourages the organized production of local renewable energy, the ecological climate, plateau agriculture, and animal husbandry. The region has a relatively dry environment, extreme land desertification, and dust storms are normal. The landscape of the region, which is located on a hill, is high and undulating. Antaisolar resolved the immense difficulties presented by the challenging construction environments, delivering technology and product resources for this…

IRENA’s Outlook has proposed energy transition solutions for the narrow pathway available to contain the rise of temperature to 1.5°C and halt irreversible global warming. 90% of all decarbonization solutions in 2050 will involve renewable energy through direct supply of low-cost power, efficiency, renewable-powered electrification in end-use as well as green hydrogen. Carbon capture and removal technologies in combination with bioenergy will deliver the ‘last mile’ CO2 reductions towards a net-zero energy system. With 2030 deadlines around the corner, this Outlook comes at a critical time when acting fast and bold on global climate pledges is crucial in the decisive…

The Nordex Group has supplied ten N131/3600 turbines projected for a 35 MW wind farm in the region of Basilicata in the south of Italy. The order also includes a service contract for the turbines, initially for two years. The order also includes a service contract for the turbines, initially for two years. The Nordex Group will supply the N131/3600 turbines in the 3.5 MW operating mode on tubular steel towers with a hub height of 114 metres. The turbines will be delivered and installed in May this year, with the wind farm being due for completion in the late…

Iberdrola, SEAT and the Volkswagen have signed a strategic alliance to promote electrification in Spain. The main objectives of the agreement are to supply renewable energy in the electric vehicle value chain and develop and create a public charging infrastructure network. Firstly, this strategic plan will see Volkswagen’s facilities in the Iberian Peninsula supplied with renewable energy. The alliance, which can be extended to other countries, also calls for the supply of energy with guarantees of renewable origin and other energy solutions to the Volkswagen Group itself, SEAT and its end customers. Another key area of the agreement will be…

The Wärtsilä Technology Group will supply its innovative energy storage technology to two big ventures in southern Texas, USA. The integrated stand-alone systems would have a gross nominal capability of 200 MW. Wärtsilä has also signed ten-year guaranteed asset value deals for the facilities. The order was issued by Able Grid Energy Solutions, the utility energy storage project construction arm of MAP RE/ES, one of North America’s largest investors in modern energy systems. The order was signed by Wärtsilä in February 2021. Madero and Ignacio energy storage facilities will provide important grid service to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT),…
