After cutting Russian power imports, Finland struggled with producing enough energy and citizens had to restrict their use. They have transformed their system so much that they're having to reduce output from nuclear stations. They aim to have wind power as the primary means of production by 2027.

"#Solar and #wind produced more than half of #Portugal’s electricity for the first time last month. Strong solar deployment, electricity imports from Spain and lower #demand kept energy generated by fossil fuels to just 24 per cent - despite a drought-driven dip in hydropower."

Figuring out where #OffshoreWind should come onshore is tough. Local opposition sometimes stops entire wind farms.

"An #offshore #wind transmission “superhighway” would need to be permitted and sited only once, potentially leading to wind projects that are faster and cheaper. And because coordinated transmission solutions involve fewer shore crossing and fewer miles of total cabling, they may have a lower impact on the #environment and local #communities."

Put out this word among your friends in #Texas: #RenewableEnergy saves them money.

"#Wind and #solar #energy has helped save Texas residents as much as $200 per year on their electricity #bills over the past five years, according to a new study from consulting firm IdeaSmiths."

"As the nation continues to build out a multi-billion-dollar #RenewableEnergy supply chain around #solar, #wind and #EVs, simultaneously establishing a #circular economy to recover, #recycle and reuse end-of-life components from those industries is essential in the overarching goal of battling #ClimateChange."

Offshore Wind Energy Project near Santa Barbara to be West Coast's First

Installation of four #floating #wind-#turbine #generators in the Pacific Ocean near Vandenberg Space Force Base — as soon as 2027 — aims to usher in an era of offshore wind energy on the West Coast.

#Cierco US Energy has partnered with #SBM Offshore to create #Floventis #Energy for the local project, which has been dubbed #CADEMO.

Floventis has projects in the United States and United Kingdom.

This #CleanEnergy milestone would have been reached much earlier, but

"Billions of pounds' worth of green #energy projects are on hold because they cannot plug into the #UK's electricity system, BBC research shows.

Whale deaths on the Jersey shore have been used by opponents of #offshore #wind that is crucial to the #US #EnergyTransition.

But there is no connection between whale deaths and the construction of #WindFarms. However, "vessel strikes and entanglements in fishing gear continue to pose a dangerous, life-threatening risk to whales. "

And, as the CNN article above points out, the fact that there are simplly more whales.

https://www.energy.gov/articles/addressing-misinformation-offshore-wind-farms-and-recent-whale-mortalities

Ballooning size of #wind and #solar projects draws local ire as they march closer to populated areas, making it slower and more expensive to build out #renewable energy.

But states are not powerless:
"New regulations in #NewYork give the state project-siting authority when conflicts arise over unreasonably burdensome local rules. #Illinois has a similar effort: A new law says local rules can’t be more stringent than those the state sets."

51 MW of wind farms coming soon to a shore near you!
(Please come to the public meetings and support them; you know the fossil fuel lobby will be there).

"The East Coast dominates with 84% of the pipeline, accounting for 43,115 MW. New York leads with 4,362 MW of capacity in the pipeline, followed by New Jersey with 3,758 MW.

In total, 10 states have combined #offshore #wind targets of over 81,000 MW."

Wouldn't it be cool if you could tell if a wind farm is generating at its expected capacity…

Is it curtailed? Are turbines down for maintenance? Has wind direction introduced some wake loss?
