DEME will install foundations for Zeevonk’s first offshore wind phase. The work covers 69 monopiles, secondary steel, marshalling, and preparation of scour protection in the Dutch North Sea.
-
Caledonia’s two-gigawatt offshore wind development has secured Scottish ministerial consent. Ocean Winds can now advance procurement, CfD participation, investment decisions, and planned construction from 2030.
-
Statkraft has secured approval for Sweden’s Hästliden onshore wind farm. The development can use 85 turbines and produce around 2TWh annually, subject to available grid capacity.
-
French and German wind auctions awarded more than three gigawatts. Heavy oversubscription strengthened the development pipeline and lowered support prices, while increasing pressure on turbine supply, project finance, network connections, specialist labour, and construction delivery.
-
Romania has secured major European financing for Cernavodă refurbishment works. The €800 million EIB loan will support reactor retubing, equipment replacement, testing, and recommissioning as Unit 1 prepares for an extended operating life from 2030.
-
RWE will quadruple output at its Rethen-Vordorf wind farm site. Three existing turbines will be replaced by three higher-capacity machines.
-
Poland has advanced plans for major pumped-storage capacity at Rożnów. The proposed plant would provide 767MW and approximately 3.1GWh of storage.
-
Enfinity has moved 535MW of Italian solar capacity into operation. Eighteen plants now form a platform expected to generate almost one terawatt-hour annually.
-
A 49.9MW Barnsley solar scheme is recommended for planning approval. Revised plans reduce the site area, panel count, and visual impact.
-
A French wind tender has selected a 22MW four-turbine project. The development secured environmental approval after a 15-month consent process.
