Huisman announced that developed a lightweight type crane for the maintenance of offshore wind turbines, which combines lifting heights and capacity with a foldable boom, resulting in less deck space and a low own weight of the crane, so it will require a smaller, and thus more cost effective, jack-up vessel than currently required.

Eco Marine Power announced that, along with its strategic partners, will jointly offer products and solutions for offshore applications, including offshore wind platforms, oil rigs and jack-up systems. These products and solutions will incorporate marine solar power, batteries, integrated monitoring systems and engineering and design services.

Antonio Jarquin Laguna, a researcher in Delft University of Technology, issued a thesis report, exploring a new way of generation, collection and transmission of wind energy inside a wind farm, in which the electrical conversion does not occur during any intermediate conversion step before the energy has reached the offshore central platform.

The European Commission has approved Danish support for the Kriegers Flak offshore wind farm to be constructed in Danish territorial waters. This will help Denmark to reduce CO2 emissions, in line with EU energy and climate goals, without unduly distorting competition.

U.S. Department of the Interior and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management announced the completion of US’s seventh competitive lease sale for renewable wind energy in federal waters. The lease area has a potential generating capacity of 1,486 MW, enough energy to power more than 500,000 homes.

​DONG Energy announced that decided to retire “Vindeby”, the world’s first offshore wind farm, which was constructed 25 years ago, close to shore in the low waters off Vindeby, near Lolland, in the south east of Denmark.

Gamesa and Siemens Wind Power received unconditional approval from the European Commission. This approval brings the companies one step closer to turning their vision of forming a company with presence in all the important wind markets globally.

TenneT of Netherlands, Energinet of Denmark and TenneT TSO of Germany will sign an trilateral agreement in Brussels, on 23 March 2017, that will press ahead on developing a large renewable European electricity system in the North Sea. The companies aim to make the energy transition both feasible and affordable and central to the plan is the construction of one or more islands.
