GROW offshore wind’s Post

Majestic. Beautiful. Grand. That’s what came to mind standing beneath the 80-meter towers at our Skookumchuck Wind Facility in Washington — Southern Power’s first wind project in the state. It was my first time visiting one of our wind sites, and I even got to step inside a turbine to see firsthand how 38 Vestas units work together to generate 136 megawatts of renewable energy for commercial use. We even spotted several deer during the tour, which was such a nice reminder of the wildlife that live here. I also learned about the IdentiFlight system, which uses cameras and AI to detect birds and help prevent collisions with turbine blades (tower to the left of Bambi in image 6). A special #ThankYOU to Rob and Tom for the tour and to Helen for helping organize it. It was a great experience seeing our other operating companies in action. Make sure to turn your sound on to hear the turbines in motion! #renewableenergy

With the increasing need to scale offshore wind to meet global climate targets, floating wind is emerging as a key enabler. Unlike fixed-bottom turbines, floating wind opens up access to deeper waters with stronger, more consistent winds; while also reducing visual impact and minimizing disruption to marine ecosystems. However, the technology still faces important challenges: from installation and grid connection complexities to higher initial costs and supply chain immaturity. Over the past few months, my colleagues and I at Sia conducted a full market study on floating wind. We analyzed the opportunities, the challenges, and the role it can play in the energy mix of the future. I’m proud of the depth of analysis we developed together, helping clients navigate both the uncertainties and the opportunities ahead. Our support ranges from market intelligence and policy insights to project strategy, cost optimization, and technology selection. We also provide workshops to help you build internal capabilities on this emerging topic. Interested in our full market analysis and how it can benefit your business? Let’s connect and discuss how we can help. #FloatingWind #RenewableEnergy #OffshoreWind #Innovation #Sia

#BeyondEnergy | 🎬 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯 𝘖𝘤𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 #OffshoreWind is more than turbines at sea. It’s about people, decisions, challenges, and long-term impact. With this video series, each week, we will invite you to take a closer look at how offshore wind projects come to life, and why their value goes far beyond the megawatts they produce. Let our OW experts and key industry stakeholders take you behind the scenes of how they turn offshore wind into a reality each and every day. 💡 It’s a journey through the full life cycle of our projects: from development and construction to operations and the future of the industry. 🎥 Watch the teaser to the series and follow along as we go Beyond Energy.

Sustainable Sailmaking! Evolution Sails headquarters in NZ is supplied by power generated from Awhitu Wind Farm located on the breezy west coast of the North Island. The farm is generating #renewable natural energy and is clean to the point of consumption. This energy reaches Evolution Sails by first being captured by the wind turbine, which converts the wind’s motion into electricity. This electricity is sent to a substation on the wind farm, then fed into the regional power grid, where it travels through transmission lines to local substations…which then distributes to our loft! The amazing power of wind! 💨⚡️♻️ #evolutionsails #windharnessing #sustainablesailmaking #sailloft #newzealand #renewableenergy #ecofriendly #environment

Which Power Curve is Better for Your Site? 🌬️⚡ When comparing turbines, don’t just look at the rated power — focus on what really matters: • Cut-in speed • Rated power • Power plateau • Power drop beyond rated 👉 If your site rarely reaches >20 m/s, that “extra” power may never be produced. It could even mean the turbine is not optimized for your wind conditions. Be careful — high-wind bins might represent typhoons or extreme events where WTGs shut down. 📩 Contact us to ensure your site has the right turbine for real conditions.

It was precisely when 'dark clouds' began hanging over floating wind that Johan Sandberg decided to join a company that was pursuing innovative solutions to the problems facing the industry. With EU backing for a demonstrator project, the SeaTwirl boss aims to prove that floating wind projects can be profitable on a smaller scale.
