Onshore Wind Growth Hindered by Transmission Capacity

Projects using the WindFloat® technology have now produced more than 1 terawatt-hour (TWh) energy since WindFloat 1 was connected to the grid in 2011. This milestone demonstrates the maturity of the WindFloat® designs, and the readiness of Principle Power’s 4th generation designs for commercial scale projects. I am proud to contribute to a planet powered by floating offshore wind!

Floating #offshore wind is moving fast from promise to scale.📈With 270 MW already operational in 2023 and a 244 GW global project pipeline, the technology is set to transform the #renewableenergy landscape. Yet, to stay on a 1.5°C pathway, offshore wind must grow from 63 GW today to 494 GW by 2030. Read now: https://lnkd.in/gduUmWje

Repowering projects are low risk, high impact and grid ready. Our latest insight from Technical Director, Wind, Ian McLean, discusses the advantages of repowering sites that already have planning precedent, operational history, and local familiarity, and how they present a unique opportunity to increase wind power with reduced timelines. If you're attending Onshore Wind 2025 in Edinburgh next week, you can find Ian on our stand to chat repowering and all other key issues shaping the onshore wind landscape today.

And speaking of facts, there is an amazing article https://lnkd.in/dmx3Raaq from Hartman at the US Department of Energy, published last August, highlighting the top things you may not know about Offshore Wind. I want to highlight the following: "Offshore wind represents a major opportunity to provide power to highly populated coastal cities. The first operational commercial-scale wind power plant in the United States, the 132-megawatt (MW) South Fork Wind Farm located off the coast of Rhode Island and delivering power to New York, was installed in March 2024. There are also small projects installed off the coasts of Rhode Island and Virginia."

We’re kicking off our new Offshore Wind 101 blog series with “Why Do We Need Offshore Wind?” This post breaks down some of our most frequently asked questions, including how offshore wind meets growing energy demands, how it builds a thriving workforce, and how it strengthens our supply chain.

Explore our latest resource "The race to scale." This report provides an introduction and overview of wind turbine power generation systems, focusing on their size and scale. Looking at the historical progress of wind power generation and the underlying theory behind the pursuit of larger turbines. It also addresses the potential risks, issues and insurance considerations related to their use and serves as a potential guide for future developers.
