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.
-
NAPIT has outlined safeguards needed for safe plug-in solar deployment. Its response addresses certification, older wiring, socket selection, DNO notification, consumer guidance, and enforcement against non-compliant imports.
-
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.
-
Powernaut now coordinates DSG’s Dutch renewable portfolio through one platform. The system connects distributed solar and battery assets with day-ahead, intraday, balancing, and congestion-management markets.
-
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.
-
Aarsleff will build major onshore facilities for Bornholm Energy Island. The DKK3.7 billion contract covers converter halls, a 400kV substation, and infrastructure linking Baltic offshore wind with Danish and German grids.
-
European solar generation avoided an estimated €20 billion gas bill. SolarPower Europe’s analysis links record photovoltaic output with reduced fuel exposure, while highlighting the storage, network, flexibility, and market reforms required to manage concentrated midday generation.
-
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.
-
Excel Energy and Sigenergy are expanding commercial battery deployment together. Their partnership combines solar installation, storage hardware, and energy-management capability.
-
RWE will quadruple output at its Rethen-Vordorf wind farm site. Three existing turbines will be replaced by three higher-capacity machines.
