The gigantic, 2.6-gigawatt Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project can resume construction, handing yet another loss to US President Donald Trump (cropped, courtesy of CVOW).
The massive, 2.6-gigawatt Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project is one of five offshore projects to survive the Trump chopper, adding another 2.6 gigawatts to the nation’s clean power profile.
While Trump single-handedly bludgeons the US offshore wind industry into a state of paralysis, massive new offshore wind turbines are coming to markets elsewhere around the world.

A new wave of supersized, morphing wind turbines will help cut costs for the US offshore wind industry, if it can survive the next four years.
For more than two years, the floating offshore wind turbine TetraSpar at METCentre off the coast of Norway has been monitored by a bird camera. No bird collisions have been recorded. The Norwegian company Spoor that is responsible for the bird monitoring. Since January 2022, they have mapped bird activity … [continued]
Siemens "PowerBoost" adds more megawatts to offshore wind turbines (screenshot courtesy of Siemens).
Russia’s Baltic Fleet will find the sea lanes getting crowded as Baltic states flex their offshore wind muscles with massive new projects.
A couple of years ago when I visited the gigantic wind turbine test site at Østerild in northern Denmark, I wondered how big these things would end up being. It seems the efficiency limit is about to be within reach, and while this may not be the case in technical … [continued]
The world’s second largest steel maker, ArcelorMittal, has placed a huge wind turbine order in India as part of its ambitious plans to expand its renewable energy footprint in the country. AM Green Energy placed an order for 166 megawatts of wind turbines with Siemens Gamesa. AM Green Energy is … [continued]
A major collaboration between universities and energy companies has made vital improvements to offshore wind turbines, which could help them generate more renewable energy and reduce the UK’s reliance on fossil fuels. Major collaboration between universities and industry has made vital improvements to offshore wind production Partnership between Universities of … [continued]
Siemens Gamesa set a fresh record in wind generation this week. Specifically, a Siemens SG 14-222 DD offshore wind turbine prototype set the record. The turbine has produced 359 megawatt-hours within a 24-hour time period — “the most power one turbine has ever produced over this duration and enough energy … [continued]
Virginia is going from near-zero wind power to 2.6 gigawatts all at once, with the approval of a new offshore wind plan for Dominion Energy.
