The Netherlands heavily relies on wind turbines in its energy transition — at the expense of thousands of birds that get killed by fast-spinning blades. Now officials say they have a solution to spare some of the migratory animals.
Ambitious plans to revamp a Scottish fabrication yard for use recycling North Sea infrastructure have taken a major step forward.

Rising demand to install offshore wind for zero-carbon electricity means the supply chain will need to triple before the end of this decade, Orsted’s chief said.
Work to install the world’s deepest offshore wind turbine foundation has been completed off the Scottish coast.
Global installed wind energy capacity is set to exceed 1 terawatt (TW) by the end of 2023, according to new data from Wood Mackenzie.
Geophysical studies for two major offshore wind projects have got underway off the coast of Aberdeenshire and Orkney.
A major report delivered to the UK Government on offshore wind has called out a lack of alignment between bodies in delivering a skills passport for oil and gas workers.
At a Louisiana shipyard Tuesday, construction slowed so executives, politicians and reporters could tour a boat that’s almost as long as a football field. Some workers welded steel bulkheads, while others used an industrial press the size of a trailer to bend metal. At the center of the activity sat the Eco Edison, a concrete and expensive sign that some companies are pressing ahead in the fledgling offshore wind industry.
Dozens of platforms and substructures are to be removed in 2024 - while 16 windfarms are forecast to be installed; an unprecedented level of activity.
Wind farms have become a ubiquitous part of the Scottish landscape.
UK offshore wind services provider Purus Wind has handed a major contract to Damen Shipyards for the build and delivery of eight new vessels.
The Scottish Government has set a target of becoming a net zero carbon nation by 2045 and is aiming to more than double its current renewable electricity generation by 2030. Its big bet to achieve this is wind power, given its low cost and the large potential for viable installations in North Sea waters.
More than 100 vessels working in offshore wind have now passed into the Port of Aberdeen so far this year.
Orsted has cast some doubt over its future UK offshore wind projects after yesterday’s budget failed to deliver a “full package of support”.
A ceremony was held in North East England yesterday to mark the official opening of the O&M base for what will be the world’s largest offshore wind farm.
HLP believes project developers will struggle to meet demand based on current logistics practices and equipment provision.
Off the coast of New England, winds whip over the frigid Atlantic Ocean creating perfect conditions for giant offshore turbines. While plans are in place to tap that natural power to generate electricity, progress — here and around the world — is being held up by soaring inflation.
It is “unlikely” that Jeremy Hunt will toy with current energy windfall taxes when he delivers the government’s fiscal update next week.
GMB also accused Harland & Wolff of not paying its bills, and even failing to provide toilet paper for workers at the troubled site.
