Plans for GE Blade factory in the #UK dropped. The Conservative's want new #offshorewind factories in #Brexit heartlands, but achieving this at scale not easy. Supply chain promises, freeport status and grants not enough - tinyurl.com/5n6ffsfc

The transport and installation of jacket foundations is for #offshorewind farms + lightouses are ideal subjects for great #photography IMO. This construction snap for the Saint Breiuc project in #France delivers a bit of both. Lovely.

First steel in the water for the 3.6GW Dogger Bank #offshorewind complex in the #UK🙌0nce online this project should earn money for the trasury, have a record high capacity factor and meet by itself #10% of our peak demand on a windy day. #renewables

Our latest series of blogs looks at the #NY #Offshorewind solicitation round - who will be bidding and what supply chain commitments will they make? bvgassociates.com/new-yorks-bloc…

First concrete gravity base foundation for Fecamp projcect in #France being installed by Heerema (filling in for Saipem. Good few years since a GBF was last installed in the #offshorewind industry. Gloomy in Liverpool today - pic oddly makes me want a holiday.

Here we have 23 million barrels of new #oilandgas extraction in the #UK. Don't worry though. Extraction will be powered by *checks notes* one floating #offshorewind turbine. #renewables

A nice #offshorewind policy milestone for #greece that has been a long time in the making. The draft law was not that detailed tho esp. around timelines, volumes, price , fate of developers that are already prospecting under O&G exploration licences...🤔

Sad to see 'there is no climate emergency' trending. Reading the declaration (which has a missing full-stop after the first sentence) I am amazed by its central presumption that all policy about complex issues should be guided by scientific certainty. Good luck with that.

This is the world's newest and largest wind farm installation vessel. For a sense of scale, try to immagine a person looking out at you from of one of those windows on the bridge. #offshorewind #renewables

Here's what a 15MW #offshorewind turbine nacelle looks like. From 2025, technicians will be looking after the first 60 of these nacelles, which will stand 160 metres above the waves 100KM off the coast of #Germany and produce power without subsidy🤯

Love this. #offshorewind development always leads to many a #historical find. This one challenges assumptions about when the Romans were trading in the Southern North Sea.

A couple of novel concepts for floating #offshorewind installation and maintenance coming out of Hamburg conference this morn. Nice to see and plenty of room for more.

How do people with such poor attention to detail repeatedly end up in high office in the #uk? #TrussUnfitToGovern #EconomyCrisis

Mind-bending pic of a 115.5 metre-long blade, see people for scale. This is for a 15MW #offshorewind turbine with a 236m diameter rotor. 72 of these Vestas Wind Systems machines will be installed off the Scottish coast in 2025.
