Eco Wave Power to Explore AI-Driven Wave Energy Optimization
Eco Wave Power, via its U.S. subsidiary, has joined NVIDIA’s Inception program as the wave energy company explores artificial intelligence (AI) applications for renewable energy infrastructure and energy management systems.Eco Wave Power U.S. will gain access to NVIDIA developer tools, technical resources, training and ecosystem support through the program.The company said it is evaluating the use of AI across several areas of its wave energy operations, including real-time optimization of energy generation, predictive maintenance, digital twin modeling, ocean and weather data analysis, and
Boskalis Orders High-Capacity CLV for Offshore Wind Market
will feature two 12,000-ton cable carousels, including a concentric carousel, enabling installation of longer continuous cable sections and reducing the need for offshore joints.The company added the investment would further strengthen its position in the offshore energy market and support global renewable energy infrastructure development.“The electrification of energy demand, driven by decarbonization and energy independence objectives, is accelerating the need for robust grid infrastructure. Cross-border interconnectors and offshore wind transmission systems increasingly require long-distance
Op-Ed: Why Wave Energy Must Be the UK’s Next Great Green Frontier
an op-ed piece from CorPower Ocean, UK Marine Energy Council, Ocean Energy Europe and Professor Henry Jeffrey, Head of Policy and Innovation Group, University of Edinburgh.As an island nation with more than 11,000 miles of coastline, the UK sits beside one of the most powerful, and most overlooked renewable energy resources on Earth: ocean waves. Offshore wind has dominated Britain’s clean‑energy identity for decades, but wave power is no longer a distant prospect. It is now a proven, deployable technology whose moment has arrived. Across Europe, full-scale demonstrations have now fed reliable
COAST Announces Four Successful Clean Energy Innovation Challenge Participants
of COAST and the University of Victoria.This Innovation Challenge is designed to help address the Canadian Coast Guard's goal to decarbonize land-based operations in remote coastal areas of British Columbia. It targets new innovations that can displace diesel at remote locations, utilizing renewable energy sources (including marine renewables), as well as advanced energy management and storage solutions. The systems must be rapidly deployable, modular, and scalable to meet the Coast Guard’s operational constraints at remote, often hard-to-access sites.The four companies, Ascent Systems
Petrobras Taps Fugro for Brazil’s First Licensed Offshore Wind Survey
de Janeiro Offshore Wind Pilot Project, the first offshore wind development in South America to advance under a formal environmental licensing process.The 18 MW pilot project marks an early step in the region’s offshore wind development, as countries move to establish regulatory frameworks for renewable energy projects.Fugro will conduct soil sampling, in situ testing and laboratory analysis across nearshore and coastal locations off São João da Barra, alongside onshore investigations to support cable landfall and routing.Field operations and analysis are set to begin in April and run
Enersea Finalizes Substation Jacket Design for Ørsted’s Hornsea 3 Project
.Enersea’s scope included structural design and engineering support during fabrication, with the companies working together to advance construction of the structures.Hornsea 3 is expected to be one of the world’s largest offshore wind farms once operational, supporting the expansion of renewable energy capacity in the United Kingdom
Mark Offshore Adds Research Vessel Mintis to Support Offshore Renewables
operational functionality, allowing it to serve both survey and subsea support roles.The 40-metre DP1 catamaran, built in 2014, has operated across the Baltic Sea, North Sea, Mediterranean and Eastern North Atlantic and has been involved in international marine research projects linked to offshore renewable energy since 2015.Mintis is equipped for a range of subsea operations, including ROV, AUV and USV deployment through a central moonpool and A-frame system, as well as hydrographic and geophysical surveys supported by onboard laboratory and survey equipment.The vessel can also support diving and shallow-wate
NYK Advances Design of Subsea Cable-Laying Vessel
Japanese shipping major NYK Line has completed the basic design of a new long-distance subsea cable-laying vessel intended to support the development of Japan’s future high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission network, marking a key milestone in a national effort to strengthen offshore renewable energy infrastructure.The vessel’s design recently received General Design Approval (GDA) from classification society ClassNK, confirming that the concept meets relevant international conventions and classification rules at the detailed design level.The project is part of Japan’s broader
NKT Signs Record $2.5B Contract for UK’s Eastern Green Link 3
will have a capacity of up to 2 GW and is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2033.Eastern Green Link 3 forms part of a broader program of grid reinforcement projects being developed by the U.K.’s electricity transmission owners to improve the ability of the national network to transport renewable energy across Great Britain.“Signing the contract for EGL3 is a significant milestone for NKT and for the reinforcement of Great Britain’s power system. We are very proud to take this important step with National Grid and SSEN Transmission.“It further strengthens our long-term collaboratio
