Planning continues for Northern California offshore wind terminal at former paper mill site (will be much lower impact than the mill was).

Floating offshore wind power is an innovative combination of sectors that had not previously worked together.

Hey #renewableEnergy Mastodon, for a piece of work I'm doing, I wonder if anyone can point me towards global/regional/country targets/ambitions for #floatingOffshoreWind deployment by 2050?

The only global number I can find is 264GW from DNV, but RenewablesUK say there is already a global pipeline of 266GW and WindEurope expect between 100 and 150GW of floating wind in Europe, both of which suggest the DNV number might be a bit low.
Thanks

Very disappointing news

No offshore wind projects were successful in the renewable energy auction, including Wales' first offshore floating wind farm, Erebus, because the government set the maximum price for generators too low

In #floatingoffshorewind news, Vestas has been selected to supply turbines for the 1.3 GW MunmuBaram floating farm off the coast of S. Korea. The project is being developed by Hexicon (20%) and Shell (80%) from Hexicon’s early sea bed exploration and acquisition. This announcement is a milestone in the development of gigawatt scale floating #offshorewind. https://renews.biz/82130/vestas-picked-to-supply-13gw-korean-floater/
