Fugro Starts Site Surveys for SSEN’s Western Isles Power Link
Fugro has started integrated nearshore site investigations for SSEN Transmission’s Western Isles High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) Link, a power transmission project designed to transfer renewable electricity from Scotland’s islands to the UK mainland.The Western Isles HVDC Link will enable the transmission of up to 1,800 MW of renewable energy and is intended to strengthen the UK’s electricity network by connecting the Western Isles to the mainland grid.The project will comprise around 83 kilometers of underground cable and 81 kilometer’s of subsea cable, linking SSEN Transmiss
Eco Wave Power Moves Forward with 1MW Porto Wave Energy Project
said the project is aligned with a tentative grid connection target in 2026, subject to final regulatory approvals.The installation will be located within an existing breakwater structure known as The Gallery and is designed to integrate wave energy conversion equipment into Portugal’s renewable electricity mix
GE Vernova, Seatrium Ink TenneT Deal for 2.2GW North Sea Grid Link
has secured a major contract from Dutch-German grid operator TenneT to deliver the BalWin5 offshore grid connection, a 2.2 GW high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system designed to bring North Sea wind power to Germany’s electricity network.BalWin5 is expected to provide enough renewable electricity to supply about 2.75 million households, forming part of Germany’s strategy to accelerate offshore wind deployment and strengthen long-term energy security.The award marks the first German 2 GW-class project for the GE Vernova-Seatrium consortium under a five-year framework agreement
Jasmund Substation Nears Baltic Sea Installation After Topside and Jacket Load-Out
; which holds the full EPCIC scope covering engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning. OSS Jasmund is the first of three offshore substations the consortium is delivering for 50Hertz.Once operational, the Jasmund substation will have a capacity of 300 MW, supplying renewable electricity to around 260,000 households. It will serve as the grid connection point for the Windanker offshore wind farm, located northeast of Germany’s island of Rügen.Earlier this year, the HSI joint venture completed the rollout of the topside and lifted transformers at the Stormpolder
NKT Completes Export Cable Repair at Beatrice Offshore Wind Farm
to NKT, which was hired for the repair job following an unplanned transmission outage that occurred in April 2025 on one of two of Beatrice’s Transmission Capital Partner (TCP) owned export cables.The malfunction reduced the site’s export capacity by 50%, affecting the transmission of renewable electricity for around 450,000 U.K. households.The cable, which was not manufactured by NKT, was repaired using NKT’s adaptive rigid sea joint (ARSJ). Central to the swift turnkey repair were two of those joints, which were mobilized from NKT’s stock within days.The joints are designed to
ABB to Supply Automation and Electrification Technology for Floating Green Ammonia Production Vessel
solutions for SwitcH2’s floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit dedicated to producing green ammonia from green hydrogen, to support future demand for low-carbon marine fuels.The FPSO facility will be stationed off the coast of Portugal and powered by certified renewable electricity from the national grid under a Power Purchase Agreements. It will feature a 300 MW electrolyzer with the potential to produce up to 243,000 tons of green ammonia annually.As part of the term sheet agreement, ABB intends to deliver a prefabricated eHouse, electrical distribution systems and
Eco Wave Power Launches First-Ever US Wave Energy Plant
the first onshore wave energy installation in the U.S., showcasing Eco Wave Power's patented technology and setting the stage for large-scale wave energy deployment along America's coastlines.The demonstration site features floaters, which capture the motion of ocean waves to generate renewable electricity - proving the technology's potential to deliver reliable and clean power.While still in demonstration mode, the project provides a key foundation for commercial-scale operations, positioning Eco Wave Power as the frontrunner in the emerging U.S. wave energy sector.“Wave energy has
Red Sea Cable Cuts Emphasize Infrastructure Resilience
, and economies feel the shock immediately. This sector is now more critical than ever to global security and stability.”Subsea cables carry 99 per cent of the world’s internet traffic and support $50 trillion in annual financial transactions. They also carry growing volumes of renewable electricity through offshore interconnectors. Disruption in one region quickly ripples through global systems, affecting communications, markets, and energy flows."The world depends on the marine contracting sector to repair these lifelines. But ensuring resilience is not automatic," added
NKT to Deliver Cables for Bornholm Energy Island Interconnection
and secure energy infrastructure Europe needs, and demonstrate our proven high-voltage power cable capabilities,” said Claes Westerlind, President and CEO at NKTTo decrease carbon emissions, NKT will produce the power cables at its high-voltage factory in Karlskrona, which operates on renewable electricity and is located close to the installation site in the North Sea, reducing the carbon footprint from transportation
