Hollandse Kust (west) Alpha Offshore Substation Set for Wind Turbines Link-Up
operator TenneT's 'socket at sea’ as soon as they are built.Whereas completion was scheduled for the first quarter of 2024, TenneT received the grid readiness certificate from DNV before the holidays in 2023.This makes the grid connection of the 'socket at sea' to the national electricity grid officially ready for use after a series of extensive tests.The Hollandse Kust (west), developed by Ecowende - a joint venture between Shell and Eneco, will consist of 52 offshore wind turbines with a combined capacity of over 760MW. The 15 MW turbines will be supplied by Vestas.Via the cable
Eolmed Floating Wind Farm Starts Taking Shape in Mediterranean Sea

Eni Installs "World's First" Inertial Sea Wave Energy Converter Offshore Pantelleria
Italian energy firm Eni said Tuesday it had installed the world's first Inertial Sea Wave Energy Converter (ISWEC) device connected to the electricity grid of an island.The ISWEC is located about 800 meters off the coast of Pantelleria island, in the Strait of Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea, and can reach 260 kilowatts of peak power generation converted from wave energy. "This experimental campaign, conducted under real operating conditions, will lead to useful results for developing the second-generation device currently under study," Eni said.ISWEC was developed by Eni in collabora
Tidal Energy System Powers Up in Nova Scotia
the ultra-low environmental impact of the tidal technology.Nova Scotia Natural Resources and Renewables Minster Tory Rushton said, "Earlier this year, Sustainable Marine achieved a first in Canadian tidal energy history — delivering power from a floating platform to Nova Scotia’s electricity grid. Now it is poised to launch its commercial tidal operation. This project and others are positioning Nova Scotia as a global player in the tidal energy sector and are creating green technologies, green jobs, a cleaner environment, and a predictable, renewable source of electricity for Nova Scotians
Renewable Energy: First Floating Tidal Power Delivered to Nova Scotia Grid
Pioneer, and a suite of next-generation, remotely operated subsea installation machines supporting our novel Swift Anchors technology."Sustainable Marine Energy achieved a first in Canadian tidal energy history, delivering power from a floating platform in Grand Passage to Nova Scotia’s electricity grid," said Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston. "This project and others are positioning Nova Scotia as a global player in the tidal energy sector and are creating green technologies, green jobs, a cleaner environment and a predictable, renewable source of electricity for Nova Scotians.&rdquo
