Japan marked progress toward its green energy transition with the start of a new offshore wind farm at Noshiro Port in Akita Prefecture.
Construction of the world’s first offshore wind farm featuring 16 megawatt (MW) wind turbines has started in China.
U.K. prime minister Boris Johnson has affirmed government plans to ensure that the entire country is powered by offshore wind energy by 2030. The U.K. government will be required to generate at least 40GW of energy.
Hornsea One officially commenced operations this month. The project is the first in the world with a capacity of over 1GW, double the size of the current world’s largest.
The US researchers have discovered an unexpected benefit of large-scale offshore wind farms: they lessen the precipitation caused by these devastating storms.
The major clean energy project is located 17 miles off the Norfolk coast, with 91 huge turbines covering an area equivalent to over 10,000 football pitches.
The US is set to break ground on its largest offshore wind operation yet in a move that some say will pave the way in bringing a long-neglected source of renewable energy to America's power grid.
Three offshore wind plants will be constructed in the North Sea and three in the Baltic Sea between 2021 and 2025.
