The offshore wind industry must look beyond the North Sea to develop sites in more challenging waters while continuing to attract investors. We outline four key ways to accelerate innovation and develop emerging technologies to help meet these targets.
- How reliable are wind farms? | World Economic ForumHow much does wind farm output vary in these countries? Let’s look at Germany first. Last year the power output of Germany’s wind farms peaked at 26 GW at 6 pm on the 5th of December (see technical note for details of calculations). In contrast, minimum power output of Germany’s wind farms was 0.128 GW at 2 pm on the 4th of September.
- Offshore wind farms make artificial reefs for marine lifeWind turbines off the US coast have become artificial reefs, offering a new habitat for ocean life. But wind farms can have a negative effect on other wildlife, such as fish stocks and ocean birds. Collaborative, biodiversity-aware planning of projects will be key as offshore wind expands to meet net-zero climate targets.
- What is offshore wind and what does its future look like? | World ...Another challenge is around the impact of an offshore wind farm on marine biodiversity. Ørsted aims to have a net-positive impact on biodiversity by design, such as turning the foundations of fixed-bottom turbines into artificial reefs - habitats and shelter for species like mussels, Atlantic cod and even coral.
- Wind power costs: Why the industry is facing cost headwinds | World ...More than $30 billion in investment has been put on hold as at least 10 offshore wind projects in the US and Europe experience delays, according to The Wall Street Journal. Developers of onshore and offshore wind projects are facing rising costs, but offshore investments are bearing the brunt of the current industry challenges.
