Growing, with huge potentialGlobally, the total installed energy capacity for both onshore and offshore wind farms at the end of 2019 totaled 651 gigawatts (GW), or about 10% of global electricity generating capacity, according to the WER report. While just 25.5 GW, or less than 0.5%, of that installed capacity is currently located at sea, the rate of new installations offshore has been growing at a much faster rate since 2010: 26% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) compared to 14% for onshore.

30 years ago,” explains Mr Hendrikx. “Many of these show extensive sediment build up near the dam, which leads to the eventual blocking of the hydroelectric turbines. This not only affects drinking water supplies; it also has direct consequences on agricultural irrigation and the electricity generating capacity of the dam.” The sediments in question – which are often polluted – can be removed using DOP Pumps. “Depending on the material, these can be installed with various cutting heads. And combined with purpose-built dredging vessels, operators can dredge to depths
