MP Quantum to Deploy Ocean Sun's Floating Solar Tech in Greece and Cyprus
GroupBeing two of EU’s most southern countries, Greece and The Republic of Cyprus have excellent solar irradiance which provides good yield for solar power investments, Ocean Sun said.Further, Ocean Sun said, Greece’s National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) has established ambitious renewable energy targets highlighting plans for 35% of the energy to be derived from renewable energy sources (RES) by 2030 and to phase-out lignite-based energy production by 2028.As cited by Ocean Sun, according to HELAPCO, a non-profit organization representing the major Greek PV companies, this implies an average
UK Subsea Sector Eyes Offshore Wind Opportunities
With global offshore wind expenditure expected to rise to over $450 billion between now and 2026, there is a huge opportunity for subsea companies to step up and play their part in helping to meet the world’s renewable energy targets. This will see a significant number of developments taking off over the next few years, and with world renowned experience in offshore oil and gas engineering, the UK has the skills and expertise to lead the way - delivering investment and creating jobs. Subsea UK will be running an event on September 20, to explore the offshore wind developmen
ABB Wins $140 Mln Order for HVDC Station
Danish Kriegers Flak wind farm in 2015. The interconnector will have a capacity of 400 megawatts (MW), equivalent to the energy requirement of more than 400,000 households. This critical infrastructure development is co-financed by the European Union and will mark a step toward European renewable energy targets. In addition to allowing the integration of more renewable energy into the grid, the interconnector project will provide enhanced power security and offer additional opportunities for energy trading. “ABB has an unparalleled track record of HVDC interconnections and is playing
NRW Awards Marine and Coastal Framework Agreement
(NRW) as independent specialists on its Marine and Coastal Casework Framework. The partnership will provide a range of services under the framework’s coastal/marine physical processes and geomorphology lot. With its extensive coastline, strategically located deep ports, and ambitious renewable energy targets, Wales is becoming a hub for major coastal and marine infrastructure projects. As a result, NRW is increasingly required to advise on complex and technically challenging projects such as the proposed tidal lagoons around the coast of Wales. To ensure that the advice provided to the Welsh
Ofgem to Link Offshore Wind to U.K Grid
of Mitsubishi Corporation won a tender, allowing them to maintain and operate the transmission link to the London Array offshore wind farm for 20 years. The British government aims to install 8-15 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity by 2020 to help meet emissions reduction goals and European renewable energy targets. But in the past few months several firms including DONG, EON, RWE and Iberdrola-owned Scottish Power have all scrapped or scaled back huge offshore wind farm projects, citing environmental issues or the costs involved in developing deepwater sites. Britain has 22 operational offshore
Report Helps Wind Industry Reduce Noise Effects on Marine Mammals
Change said, “I welcome the publication of this joint industry and Government report. It is essential that all industry stakeholders continue to work together to implement the report’s recommendations. This will increase the protection given to marine mammals, help us meet our renewable energy targets and encourage more investment in the offshore wind industry.” Xodus delivers offshore engineering and technical, commercial, safety and environmental services, and this integrated expertise was of benefit to the ORJIP Project 4. To ensure the project balanced the broad range of

From the analysis two sets of strategic initiatives for the region were provided. The first detailed actions required to fulfil renewable energy targets for 2020, while the second detailed those actions recommended to position the BSR as a world leader in offshore wind development. The strategic initiatives are based around four themes; policy and regulation, research and demonstration, grid integration and environmental planning. Jö
