Wind Energy

Wind energy is a virtually carbon-free and pollution-free electricity source, with global wind resources greatly exceeding electricity demand. Accordingly, the installed capacity of wind turbines grew at an annualized rate of >20% from 2000 to 2019 and is projected to increase by a further 50% by the end of 2023. …

Greencoat UK Wind is buying the 25.1% interest, which equates to 92MW of capacity.

The 143MW wind farm will generate enough electricity to power around 90,000 homes.

The 200-metre-tall turbines are expected to produce 62GWh of clean electricity every year, enough to power almost 20,000 homes.

NINA has also found ultraviolet lighting may deter the birds from the lit area and notes different placement of wind infrastructure could help reduce impacts.

The Summit supercomputer will be used to conduct otherwise infeasible research that is expected to lead to improved efficiencies in offshore wind energy production.

The EU and UK generate 21% and 33% of their electricity respectively from wind and solar, a new analysis says .

The firm’s earnings from offshore and onshore wind farms in operation increased by 17% over the period.

The ship, which has a lifting capacity of more than 3,000 tonnes, will transport and install wind turbines at Dogger Bank.

Based on the global average of electricity usage, 100GW of wind capacity can help save around 134 million tonnes of CO2 annually.
