Van Oord Starts Construction Works at RWE’s German Offshore Wind Farm
A will be erected in 2026 and fully connected to the grid at the start of 2027, while Nordseecluster B will contribute additional 60 wind turbines.Vestas will supply its V236-15.0 MW offshore wind turbines for the project.Once fully operational, the Nordseecluster will generate enough green electricity to supply the equivalent of around 1.6 million households
RWE to Protect Thor’s Offshore Wind Foundations with Reused Covers
other upcoming offshore wind projects.Foundation installation work at Thor offshore wind farm, including the deployment of the reusable covers, will start in spring 2025, with turbine installation scheduled for 2026.After commissioning in 2027, the wind farm will have the capacity to produce enough green electricity to supply the equivalent of more than one million Danish households.“We are committed to sustainability improvements and innovations at our offshore wind projects, and the reusable covers are an important part of this. At RWE, we are the first in the world to install covers from Circular
RWE to Employ Innovative Ecosystem Monitoring Tech at Kaskasi Offshore Wind Farm
and the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI).The partners plan to share the results on a dedicated online public platform.“As a global leading player in offshore wind, we feel responsible for building and operating our wind farms in harmony with nature. To deliver green electricity, we invest billions of euros annually in offshore wind. We are committed to expanding our portfolio in an environmentally friendly way.“With this in mind, we have set ourselves ambitious sustainability targets and are making all efforts to find ways to improve.

Jan de Nul Hires Correll for Cable Termination Works at Thor Offshore Wind Farm
Wind Farm will be constructed in the Danish North Sea, approximately 22 kilometers off the coast of Thorsminde on the west coast of Jutland.Once fully commissioned in 2027, the more than 1 GW project will become Denmark’s largest offshore wind farm and will be capable of producing enough green electricity to supply the equivalent of more than one million Danish households.“We are thrilled to receive this award from Jan De Nul who is a key business partner for our organization. It is an honor to contribute to the installation of what will be Denmark's largest offshore wind farm. This
Eco Wave Power Sells Wave Energy Unit for Taiwanese Pilot Project
of 400 MW.“Taiwan is an island country with a coastline of 1,566 kilometers, with high potential for the installation of marine energy. The construction of Eco Wave Power’s project is relatively easy, and I believe that it will be a significant stepping stone for the development of green electricity in Taiwan.“I also think that this will allow Taiwan to break away from existing renewable energy restrictions and develop in the direction of diversified renewable energy. As a result, we have already completed the site selection process and once the 100 kW demonstration site is built
Prysmian Gets $489M from EIB for European Green Transition Push
The European Investment Bank (EIB) and Italian cable maker Prysmian have signed a new $488.7 million (€450 million) finance contract to facilitate green electricity transmission and distribution in Europe.With a view to meeting the growing demand for renewable energy in general and offshore wind in particular, Prysmian will use the EIB funds to build new production lines for extra-high-voltage submarine cables, lines for high-voltage onshore cables and other technical improvements to existing lines.The EIB-financed investment will enable Prysmian to double its production capacity for extruded
RWE Deploys Artificial Reefs at Offshore Wind Farm in the Baltic Sea
the submerged cubes and the surrounding ecosystem will be examined. This will provide valuable data and learnings for the sustainable design of future offshore wind projects.“As a global leading offshore player, we are responsible for operating wind farms in harmony with nature. To deliver green electricity, we invest billions of euros annually in wind power. We are committed to expanding our portfolio in an environmentally friendly way. With this in mind, we have set ourselves ambitious sustainability targets.“This study is a significant step forward. Assessing how our activities may help
