China is known for its ambitious and innovative projects in the field of renewable energy. One of these projects was the installation of a special wind turbine with two rotors arranged in tandem, which was expected to increase the wind energy capture efficiency and power generation capacity significantly. However, the project ended in failure after…

Installing wind turbines, particularly the massive structures used in offshore wind farms, is an incredibly expensive process. Traditional methods rely on costly specialized crane ships. Now, a Norwegian company called WindSpider is promising a revolution with its innovative self-assembling crane system that significantly cuts installation costs for both onshore and offshore turbines. WindSpider’s groundbreaking design…

The European Union (EU) is seriously considering a ban on wind turbines made outside of Europe. This is due to rising concerns about cybersecurity risks and the growing influence of Chinese wind Turbine manufacturers. The EU is looking at a strategy similar to the one it used to limit the Chinese tech company Huawei’s role…

The European Union has opened a formal investigation to determine if Chinese wind turbine manufacturers are benefiting from unfair government support. This probe, announced by Margrethe Vestager, European Commission executive vice-president, focuses specifically on wind farm developments within five EU nations: Spain, Greece, France, Romania, and Bulgaria. The European Commission is concerned that government subsidies…
