Wind Energy

The wind farm has an installed capacity of 350MW and consists of 64 wind turbines.

ScotWind is the next round of seabed leasing for offshore wind development off the Scottish coast – the organisations aim to develop large-scale projects which will enhance the Scottish supply chain and economy.

The international body said the wind industry holds the potential to create jobs, generate zero carbon renewable power and drive green investment.

A record 1,800MW of new capacity was installed across the nation in the first three months of 2020.

Both wind farms are located in mountainous terrain in Quang Tri province.

The pilot programme by innogy will provide candidates with a National Vocational Qualification to work at renewable energy assets across the globe.

The wind-turbine materials market is expected to double in value to nearly $20 billion in 2026 from today’s value, US-based Frost and Sullivan has forecast. The market analyst outfit expects the market for “structural and non-structural materials” to grow at a compound annual rate of 8.9% — from $10.76 billion …

Carbon dioxide absorbed by trees as they grow is stored in the wooden tower, which means that the wind turbines are climate-neutral.

On completion, the 714MW plant is expected to power the equivalent of around 630,000 UK homes with renewable power.

The project increases the firm’s total installed capacity in the country to approximately 380MW.
