Three big-name European energy companies — Ørsted, Total, and Elicio — announced on Monday plans to partner to bid for the Dunkirk offshore wind farm project for a power capacity of up to 600 megawatts (MW).
The first turbine at the world’s largest offshore wind farm has been installed and is now supplying electricity to the UK electricity grid, according to Danish energy giant Ørsted, co-developer of the 1.2 gigawatt (GW) Hornsea Project One offshore wind farm.
Danish wind energy developer Ørsted announced late last week that it was entering into a partnership with New England’s largest energy company, Eversource, to develop key offshore wind assets in the Northeast of the United States, including two named offshore wind farms and two undeveloped New England lease areas.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs has finally announced the 2019 Feed-in Tariff (FiT) for offshore wind projects revealing new numbers which, though not what the industry would have preferred, is nevertheless not as bad as was originally feared.
Danish energy group Ørsted has posted record profits in 2018 as it blew away 2017 figures and significantly exceeded its own expectations as it sets its sights a target of 99% green energy generation by 2025.
In a blow to the immediate future of offshore wind in Taiwan, Danish power company Ørsted has suspended development of its local projects following delays imposed by the Taiwanese Government’s failure to issue a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) under 2018’s Feed-in Tariff (FiT) rate.
Danish power giant Ørsted has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings, better known as TEPCO, to explore the possibility and to work jointly on developing offshore wind projects in Japan.
TEPCO and Orsted have agreed to build a new offshore wind farm in the Pacific east of Tokyo to take advantage of new renewable energy goals announced by the Japanese government.
As part of its nascent plans to begin expanding into other clean energy technologies, Danish wind energy giant Ørsted announced earlier this month that it completed its first standalone battery storage project, the 20 megawatt (MW) Carnegie Road battery project located in Liverpool, England.
Taiwan’s Bureau of Energy had not issued an establishment permit in time for the 900 megawatt (MW) Changhua 1 and 2a projects, which had been awarded to the company by Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs in April of 2018, meaning that Ørsted was unable to sign a 2018 Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Taiwanese utility Taipower.
