Offshore Wind
Offshore wind farm development
The Gulf of Mexico is transitioning from oil dominance to a renewable energy hub, with U.S.-built vessels like the ECO Liberty leading the charge.
Denmark's Energy Agency has extended the operational license of the Samso offshore wind farm by 10 years, ensuring continued clean energy production for 20,000–25,000 homes. This pioneering move aligns with broader efforts to maximize aging wind infrastructure. Meanwhile, Hubject and Tritium have partnered to deploy Plug&Charge technology globally, simplifying EV charging by eliminating the need for apps or RFID cards. In Brazil, 2C Energia launched its first 2.7 MW solar park, part of a 400 MW pipeline, while CGN Brazil Energy commissioned the 165 MW Lagoinha Solar Complex, contributing to Brazil's renewable energy transition and green hydrogen ambitions.
Sussex County Council denied a permit for a 1,700-MW offshore wind substation, stalling renewable energy progress in Delaware.
Ørsted's Greater Changhua 2b & 4 offshore wind farms in Taiwan are nearing completion, with 61 out of 66 jacket foundations already installed.
