Despite its small size, the Vindeby wind farm paved the way for offshore wind energy development. By the end of 2019, 29.1 GW of offshore wind capacity was installed worldwide , according to the ...

In US waters alone, 58 percent of offshore wind capacity—some 4,200 TWh per year—is beyond the reach of fixed-foundation wind turbines, which are commercially limited to depths of less than 60 m.

The Biden administration hopes to develop floating platforms in the deep ocean for wind towers that could power millions of homes and vastly expand offshore wind energy in the U.S.

The Molise Offshore Wind Farm project, managed by Maverick Srl and controlled by Green Bridge, involves the installation of 70 wind turbines with a total capacity of 1.05 GW, located in the ...

A new offshore wind farm system that promises faster, cheaper installation and operations will be tested in the Mediterranean. Called the NextFloat+ Project, it received a €13.4-million (US$14.4 ...

Current U.S. turbine capacity for wind totals at 118 GW or 8.4% of utility scale energy production. The offshore wind capacity is a measly 42 MW led by the first off shore wind farm at Block ...

In 2021 alone, the global pipeline for floating offshore wind energy more than doubled, from 26,000 to more than 60,000 MW, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Among potential users is the Floating Energy Allyance, which last year secured development rights for the potential 960-MW Buchan Offshore Wind project, about 47 miles off Scotland's northeast coast.

A goal of deploying 15 gigawatts of floating offshore wind by 2035, enough to power 5 million homes. Reducing the cost of electricity from floating wind turbines by 70%, to just 4.5 cents per ...

In the Mobil-Grid-CoP project, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems IWES have developed a mobile test platform that enables realistic tests to be performed at full load ...

A small group of offshore wind turbines off the coast of Block Island in New England is one of the few installations of offshore wind energy in the United States. But more offshore turbine farms are ...
