Vineyard Wind 1 completes first turbine installation
Marking a milestone in U.S. offshore wind development, installation of the first GE Haliade-X Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) at the Vineyard Wind 1 project was completed this week. It was hailed as a “first-in-the-nation” achievement by Vineyard Wind developers Avangrid, Inc. and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners.
The completed Haliade-X turbine consists of one tower, three blades, and one nacelle, and the fully assembled machine is the largest turbine in the western world,...

Wärtsilä to deliver dedicated methanol fuel supply system
With more shipowners seeing methanol as an attractive and available future fuel pathway, Wärtsilä has responded by developed a dedicated fuel supply system called MethanolPac.
Combined with the recently introduced Wärtsilä 32 methanol engine the system positions Wärtsilä to deliver methanol-capable fuel and power systems for a wide range of vessel segments.
Methanol is a widely available fuel that is carbon neutral when produced from renewable sources and is easier to handle than many other...

Clarksons sees potential for 1,300 floating wind turbines by 2030
A new briefing on floating offshore wind from Clarksons Research sees a global potential for 14.5 GW and 1,300 turbines by 2030.
Released onto the Clarksons Renewables Intelligence Network, the briefing profiles the prospects for growth in the sector, examining capacity trends, the maritime supply chain and key projects in the industry.
Steve Gordon, managing director of Clarksons Research comments:
- While “floating wind” is only a small part of the offshore wind industry today (only 10 projects...
T-Floater offshore wind turbine foundation gains AiP
Gothenburg, Sweden-based Bassoe Technology has received ABS Approval in Principle (AiP) for its T-Floater floating wind turbine foundation, designed to carry a 10 MW turbine in the harsh conditions of the North Sea.
With three columns and T-shaped pontoons to allow transport of multiple T-Floater hulls on a dry tow vessel, or alternatively in modules for in-water assembly, the design is intended to operate with a tow-out draft of only eight meters with the turbine installed. This facilitates...
Empire Offshore Wind selects giant 15 MW Vestas turbines for two NY wind farms
Empire Offshore Wind, a joint venture between Equinor and BP, has selected Vestas as its preferred supplier for wind turbine generators for both the Empire Wind I and Empire Wind II wind farms, located 15-30 miles off the coast of Long Island. The deal would see Vestas deliver 138 V236-15 MW wind turbine generators with a total generating capacity of around 2GW—for the two Empire Wind developments. Each rotation of a 15 MW turbine will be capable of powering a New York home for about 1.5 days.
