Europe installs 1GW of offshore wind capacity in first half 2013
2013-07-15 01:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BusinessGreen: Over 1GW of offshore wind capacity was fully connected to the grid in Europe over the first half of 2013, industry figures have revealed. The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) said 277 turbines have been connected between January and the end of June, delivering 1.045GW of new capacity, almost double the 523MW installed over the same period in 2012. The UK led the way with 146 turbines boasting 514MW of capacity connected from a series of new wind farms, including major projects at Gunfleet...

Reuters: Bremerhaven, the bleak, windswept home to high unemployment and the remnants of a once-mighty shipping industry, is striving to reinvent itself as an offshore wind hub. It seems logical for the north German port to redeploy skills common to building ships and giant turbines, but success depends on guarantees of the green subsidies that are stoking fierce debate across Europe. Those who oppose subsidies say they inflate energy prices and undermine Europe's competitiveness at a time when the...

United Kingdom: World's biggest offshore wind farm with 300 turbines will be built in Lincolnshire
2013-07-12 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Daily Mail: Work on the massive Triton Knoll site - 288 giant wind turbines off the Lincolnshire coast - can now begin after the 3.6bn project was given the go ahead. It will dwarf Britain's current largest offshore facility, the 175-turbine London Array in the Thames Estuary unveiled last week by David Cameron. Go-ahead: An offshore wind farm off the coast of Skegness in Lincolnshire When complete, the new giant windfarm will generate 1.2 gigawatts of electricity, enough to power for 820,000 homes....
