Rovco Clears UXO at Iberdrola’s Windanker Offshore Wind Farm
UK-based tech-powered offshore wind solutions provider Rovco has been selected by Iberdrola to clear unexploded ordnance (UXO) in support of the development of the 315 MW offshore wind farm in the German Baltic Sea.Rovco carried out an investigation over several weeks, having started identification and removal in the second quarter of 2024, paving the way for the construction of Iberdrola’s Windanker wind farm, set within the German Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).The project leveraged Rovco’s technology, combining advanced 3D modelling and enhanced inspection capabilities to address both

high interest rates, a factor in developers and companies in the supply chain reporting mixed financial results. One cannot ignore the high-profile headlines of investor and financial institution reactions to project cancellations, deferments and impairments by companies including Ørsted, Iberdrola and Vattenfall as well as losses at large turbine OEMs, including but not limited to, Siemens. As a result, we continue to monitor not only the cost of debt but the availability of finance to the offshore wind space. This point links to our earlier comment about government agencies accepting the

to have had a major dose of adrenaline. While the largest development, to date, is the relatively small-scale 50MW Kincardine project off northeast Scotland (which will be outdone by the 88MW Tampen project in Norway later next year [2022]), an ever growing number of major energy companies, from Iberdrola to TotalEnergies, have been setting forth plans for gigawatt-scale floating wind farms – all over the globe.This year, the Global Wind Energy Council’s (GWEC) forecast for floating wind build out over the next 10 years shot up by 10GW, from the 6.5 GW estimate made last year, to 16
ScottishPower Renewables Supports Proserv's Offshore Wind Cable Monitoring Tech
ScottishPower Renewables, part of the Spanish renewables giant Iberdrola, has granted industrial sponsorship to Proserv Controls for its subsea cable condition monitoring system for the offshore wind segment.The system, called Electro Cable Guard, or ECG has been initiated and driven by Proserv with support from its consortium partners Synaptec, a power system monitoring firm, and cable engineering specialists BPP Cable Solutions. "The system offers a paradigm shift in present market offerings around condition monitoring of both inter-array and export cables," Proserv Controls said.
