Offshore wind farms connected by an underwater power grid for transmission could revolutionize how the East Coast gets its electricity

Offshore winds have the potential to supply coastlines with massive, consistent flows of clean electricity. One study estimates wind farms just offshore could meet 11 times the projected global electricity demand in 2040. In the U.S., the East Coast is an ideal location to capture this power, but there’s a problem: getting electricity from ocean wind farms to […]

Floating Wind Turbines on the High Seas Could Produce Massive Amounts of Power

The world’s first offshore wind farm employing floating turbines is taking shape 25 kilometers off the Scottish coast and expected to begin operating by the end of this year. New research by atmospheric scientists at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Stanford, Calif. suggests that the ultimate destination for such floating wind farms could be hundreds of kilometers out in the

EU adopts new gas storage rules

The European Union adopted a new law on Friday to extend gas storage regulations through 2027 and bolster energy security across the bloc. EU countries will be required to reach 90% of gas storage filling levels by 1 December each year, with flexibility of up to 10% in the case of “difficult conditions,” the European
