Geophysical and environmental survey at Lynn and Inner Dowsing Wind Farms, which was carried out by the Wessex Explored vessel, has been completed and the vessel has left the site. The Thunderbird vessel is currently undertaking its scope of work during suitable weather windows. It is estimated that

The Renewable Energy Association (REA) has welcomed Department for Environment Food & Rural Affairs’s (Defra) announcement last Thursday of the creation of 27 new Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs). Developers now await the detailed rules for each MCZ, as well as decisions on approximately 100 remaini
Building offshore turbines higher above the sea surface, or installing fewer large turbines instead of several smaller turbines, could reduce the number of bird collisions, a new research has shown. The research, led by researchers at the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), examined the importance
A group of scientists from the United Kingdom and the United States have developed a method to assess the potential impacts of offshore wind farm construction on marine mammal populations, particularly the noise made while driving piles into the seabed to install wind turbine foundations. “Pile-driv
From July 1 to September 27, excavators rolled into Leybucht to move 33,000 cubic meters of soil and thus create the conditions for the Mittelplate, Germany’s largest oil field located in environmentally important Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Parks, to recover to its original state. This m

The Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) has presented a study, according to which wind farms can benefit biodiversity. The data have been collected from the demonstration offshore wind farm Alpha Ventus. The foundations of the wind turbines have become “artificial reefs” at which shells,
The world’s largest offshore wind farm, the London Array could be affected by what is thought to be the worst storm in five years to hit Britain. The U.K. Met Office said that this storm, named after St. Jude, would approach from the Atlantic on path across the southwest and southern Wales before mo
Ramboll was recently awarded a major contract to carry out the Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) for three near-shore wind farms in Danish waters for the Danish energy grid owner, Energinet.dk. The project covers the EIA for both the offshore wind farms as well as the onshore connection to the
