Haewoori Offshore Wind 2 (500MW) and 3 (500MW), Copenhagen Infrastructure Partner’s floating offshore wind projects off the coast of Ulsan, Korea have awarded a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract to Aker Solutions and Principle Power for the floating foundations. As part of the scope, Aker Solutions will coordinate the … [continued]
The US Department of Energy wants the cost of floating offshore wind power to drop by 70% over the next 10 years…are they dreaming or not?
Researchers modeled the performance of hypothetical floating wind farms off the coast of southern Oregon and northern California, showing multiple futures in which the benefits outweigh the cost of development
A fleet of electric boats could build new floating offshore wind farms in Japan that deploy new cost-cutting tensile leg platform technology, eventually.
The US Interior Department is plowing full steam ahead with Pacific Coast leases for floating offshore wind farms.
Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $21 million in funding for three projects supporting offshore wind energy technology demonstration and resource characterization.
In Scotland, developers have been cutting back on offshore wind deployment due to the high cost of it. The installation of wind turbines into the sea floor is part of this issue. But a long-waiting solution is floating wind turbines. In Scotland, a floating wind farm project called the Buchan … [continued]
A floating wind farm feasibility study has been launched off the coast of Cornwall in the UK. The new study will try to determine if a popular wave energy test site off the coast of Cornwall (or, to be more specific, Hayle) is a good location for a floating … [continued]
