Wind

Onshore, offshore and floating.

Onshore fleets, offshore projects, floating platforms, turbine technology and interconnection.

Wind power covers onshore turbines, fixed-bottom offshore farms and floating offshore wind in deep water. This hub tracks project pipelines, turbine technology, supply-chain pressure, auctions and the policies that make or break offshore development.

Offshore wind in particular has faced cost inflation, cancelled contracts and port and vessel shortages, even as turbines grow larger. We explain why, and what auction redesigns and floating platforms could change. Briefs look at capacity factors, grid connection, permitting and local opposition, and the floating offshore wind guide explains how turbines are anchored in water too deep for fixed foundations.
