Orbital Marine Grows UK and Canada Tidal Energy Orderbook to 32MW
UK weighting.“This is welcomed news as we move Orbital and our supply chain into delivery mode, it expands our vision and increases the opportunities around our business while we demonstrate the important role tidal stream can play in energy systems of the future with its reliable, predictable clean energy,” said Andrew Scott, CEO of Orbital Marine Power
MRECo Develops Two Marine Energy Test Sites in Massachusetts
; South Coast. The site will include permanent moorings, power access, and monitoring equipment to help developers understand how their technologies perform in open-water conditions.These efforts are part of a larger push to grow Massachusetts’ ocean technology economy through the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center’s (MassCEC) Ocean Innovation Network, a statewide initiative that connects startups, researchers, and businesses with the facilities, mentorship, and resources they need to bring new clean energy solutions to market. By investing in shared testing infrastructure like BTTS and CTR
TotalEnergies Hires Fugro for North Sea Offshore Wind Survey
five-vessel program, this is one of the largest offshore wind investigations we’ve undertaken in Europe.“By combining advanced technology with expert analysis, we’re ensuring TotalEnergies receives the foundation data needed to keep this project on schedule and support Europe’s clean energy ambitions,” said Remmelt de Jong, Fugro’s Regional Business Line Director for Marine Site Characterisation in Europe and Africa.TotalEnergies was awarded offshore wind concessions by Germany’s Federal Network Agency in 2023, 2024 and 2025 for four wind farms in the North and

of the terrain and challenges our customers face in local waters,” said Matthew Woodward, business development manager at SMD.Asia’s offshore wind market is poised for rapid growth as countries in the region seek to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030, aligning with global targets for clean energy and emissions reduction
Offshore Wind: Building the UK’s First Nearshore Artificial Nesting Structures
, recent example is the installation of the UK’s first nearshore artificial nesting structures, designed to safeguard seabirds while enabling the development of the world’s single largest offshore wind farm.Hornsea 3, developed by Ørsted, plays a critical role in the UK’s clean energy transition. Yet the project faced a significant environmental challenge by needing to protect the black-legged kittiwake, a seabird whose populations have declined sharply and even face extinction due to habitat loss and changing food availability.The solution involved building three artificial

technology readiness for commercial deployment and accelerating volume manufacturing across Europe.Partners include EMEC, the University of Edinburgh, Ocean Energy Europe, Renewable Risk Advisers, and Kristinehamn Teknik & Service.CorPower said the program reinforces Europe’s position in clean-energy innovation and supports the UK’s ambitions in floating renewable technologies. With an estimated 25GW of practical wave deployment potential, the U.K. is viewed as a key future market.The project builds on CorPower’s wave energy converter technology currently operating off Portugal
XOCEAN Secures Five-Year Survey Deal for Six Dutch Offshore Wind Farms
by Eneco on behalf of the participating wind farms – Borssele 3&4 (Blauwwind), Borssele 5 (Two Towers), Eneco Luchterduinen, Hollandse Kust Noord (CrossWind), Hollandse Kust West VI (Ecowende), and Prinses Amaliawindpark (Eneco).Together, these six wind farms comprise 303 turbines generating clean energy for millions of Dutch homes.Under these contracts, XOCEAN will deliver bathymetric survey services across the six offshore wind farms. The work includes the acquisition of high-resolution data to assess the condition of monopile foundations, inter-array cables, and export cable assets. This data
Microscopic Wave Machine Mimics Ocean Waves
to hundreds of metres long to study shallow-water dynamics such as tsunamis and rogue waves,” Bowen said. “But these facilities only reach a fraction of the complexity of waves found in nature.“Turbulence and nonlinear wave motion shape the weather, climate, and even the efficiency of clean-energy technologies like wind farms. Our miniature device amplifies the nonlinearities that drive these complex behaviours by more than 100,000 times. Being able to study these effects at chip scale – with quantum-level precision – could transform how we understand and model them.&rdquo
Fugro Concludes Site Investigations for TenneT’s Offshore Grid Links
(TSO) TenneT Germany, to support the development of the LanWin1 and LanWin2 offshore grid connection projects.These projects are part of TenneT Germany’s 2 GW program, a major initiative that aims to connect at least 14 offshore connection systems to the onshore electricity grid, delivering clean energy to up to 35 million European households.The LanWin2 cable route required a range of onshore and nearshore investigation activities to support project development. Fugro’s new GroundIQ service enabled low-impact geophysical surveys, including electrical resistivity profiling and patented
