Vestas has installed the prototype of its V172-7.2MW onshore wind turbine at the Østerild test centre in Denmark #windpower #renewables #energytransition https://shorturl.at/aVBKT
I remember a achool trip in 1978 from Sweden where we saw a 1 MW turbine in Tvind (Jylland). They are a bit bigger now
Windpower Monthly will be interesting to see how well this prototype from Vestas will perform
Exciting times ahead in the energy sector! Great article by our colleagues at Windpower Monthly with WindEurope 🌍 Europe is leading the way in offshore wind development, embracing the power of nature to create a sustainable future. 🌬️ With numerous projects underway, we're on track to generate cleaner and more efficient energy for generations to come. 🌊💡 If you're passionate about renewable energy and want to be part of this incredible journey, let's connect! #OffshoreWind #SustainableEnergy #InnovationInEurope"

EU grid operators publish offshore plans. Europe's grid operators have published their Offshore Network Development Plans (ONDPs) that could help to accelerate the expansion of offshore wind. #offshorewind #grid #renewables
Offshore wind turbines have one major advantage: they're positioned in areas with higher and more consistent wind speeds compared to their onshore counterparts. This translates to significantly greater energy generation potential! 🌟 #renewables #renewableenergy #wind #windpower #energy
Indeed - not only is the business case better, the use of space and speed of installation also increases. Very important to reach climate goals From the article: "Additionally, wind farm density (MW/km2), the optimal use of space, and care for a healthy marine habitat are all crucial to a successful and sustainable offshore wind industry." Interesting piece by Eize De Vries!
