generation will start. The floating wind platform has been designed and equipped to harness the power of the wind in deep coastal waters and convert it into clean, renewable energy. This pioneering technology holds immense promise for reducing carbon emissions and contributing to the renewable energy goals of Spain and other countries worldwide

, and up to two transmission cables making landfall in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and connecting to the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland (PJM) Interconnection energy grid. This project is intended to substantially contribute to the region’s electrical reliability and help Virginia achieve its renewable energy goals as stated in the Virginia Clean Economy Act
Eco Wave Power to Install Wave Energy Power Plant in Spanish Port
Braverman, Founder and CEO of Eco Wave Power commented: “When it comes to renewable energy, Spain foresees a sizeable buildout of new renewables capacity to reach 74% of electricity generation by 2030. Spain also has 8,000 km of coastline. The combination of Spain’s ambitious renewable energy goals, along with its significant coastline, makes it an optimal market for Eco Wave Power. We are very excited about the collaboration with Port Adriano and would like to thank them for being true wave energy pioneers.”Antonio Zaforteza, CEO of OCIBAR, the company that owns the Port of Adriano
EnBW, Trident Winds JV for Offshore Wind Project in California
West Coast of the United States is still at an early stage. The state of California, which is aligned with our home market of Baden-Württemberg through a 2015 joint commitment to climate protection, renewable energy and sustainable mobility, has some of the most ambitious climate and renewable energy goals in the country. Hence, offshore wind is positioned to play an important role in California over the next decade. Together with our partner Trident Winds, we want to be actively involved from the start," Dirk Güsewell added. Offshore wind development in the United States has
New Task Force for California Offshore Renewables
California Energy Commissioner Karen Douglas. “California is currently implementing a comprehensive set of climate change policies, including 50% renewable energy target by 2030, and we are interested in learning about how offshore wind could play a role in helping achieve our climate and renewable energy goals.” “Working closely with California’s coastal and ocean stakeholders will also allow BOEM and task force members to identify and address issues early in the planning process for future offshore renewable energy leasing and development,” said BOEM Director Abigail

to shore. The proposed lease area, about 33 nautical miles northwest of Morro Bay, covers 67,963 acres of federal lands in water depths of 2,600‐3,300 feet. “This is a compelling opportunity that would assist California in meeting its ambitious and critically important renewable energy goals,” Director Hopper noted. “We will continue our work with public and private stakeholders to create a path forward for sustainable energy development in the right places with the lowest conflicts offshore the Golden State.” “As California moves forward to meet

Additionally, such supply will assist local governments in achieving their renewable energy goals.&rdquo

(and Hawaii) hold great renewable energy potential. In particular, these areas have the potential to generate over 1.5 terawatts of offshore wind energy. This potential presents a compelling market opportunity that would assist states in meeting many of their ambitious and critically important renewable energy goals.
EU Clears Portuguese Ocean Energy Tech Scheme
European Union regulators gave the green light on Thursday to a Portuguese ocean energy technology scheme aimed at boosting the bloc's renewable energy goals, saying it was in line with EU state aid rules. The plan, with a target of 50 megawatts of installed capacity, will initially test floating offshore wind turbines in real operating conditions. Portuguese authorities will offer a feed-in tariff for 25 years to offset the higher costs of the new technology. "The project would further EU energy and environmental objectives without unduly distorting competition in the single market,"
