The Philippines’ aggressive pursuit of a clean energy future has collided with a profound issue of environmental justice and cultural preservation centered on the proposed Banahaw Wind Power Project. GIGAWIND4, INC., a subsidiary of the Ayala Group’s listed energy platform ACEN Corp., is advancing plans for the massive P34.5 billion … [continued]
TotalEnergies and RWE have been selected to build the largest clean energy power plant in France, a 1.5-gigawatt wind farm. The project is the Centre Manche 2 (AO8) offshore wind farm. Traditionally a fossil fuel giant (and still so), it’s interesting that TotalEnergies has made the shift enough to be … [continued]
The 600-megawatt Monsoon Wind Power Project began delivering electricity to Vietnam’s national grid on August 22, marking the first cross-border renewable energy project in Asia. The wind farm, located across mountainous terrain in southern Laos, will supply power to Vietnam under a 25-year agreement with state utility Electricity of Vietnam … [continued]

US President Trump claims that wind farms spoil the view of “our Nation’s natural landscape,” skipping over the part where coal companies blow entire mountains to smithereens.
One of the persistent claims made by nuclear energy advocates is that nuclear power plants hold a critical advantage over wind and solar facilities due to their significantly longer operational lifespans. This argument frequently serves as justification for continued investment in nuclear, often at the expense of renewable options. News … [continued]
A new study by Wageningen University & Research shows that offshore wind farms not only produce energy, but may also contribute to the protection of marine life. Several shark and ray species were detected in and around Dutch wind farms based on traces of DNA in the seawater (eDNA). The … [continued]
The US offshore wind industry is still showing signs of life with the arrival of Thliaf, a gigantic semi-submersible crane vessel that is gearing up to help build the 810-megawatt Empire Wind project off the coast of Long Island.
