Germany is turning a former coal mine in Lusatia, in the state of Brandenburg, into a center for renewable energy with Gicon’s construction of what will soon be the world’s tallest onshore wind turbine.

The last turbine has been installed at the Baltic Eagle offshore wind farm. This 476 MW project, developed by Iberdrola in partnership with Abu Dhabi-based Masdar, is an important part of their expansion efforts in Germany.

A two-year monitoring study at Norway’s Marine Energy Test Center has revealed that no bird collisions occurred with its TetraSpar floating offshore wind turbine. This milestone study sheds new light on the compatibility of floating wind turbines and bird populations, a concern for both renewable energy advocates and environmental groups.

Many wind farms are pushing the boundaries of technology, minimizing environmental impact, and boosting energy production. Here’s a closer look at five that stood out last year.

RWE is making a splash with an exciting project that combines wind power generation and marine life conservation. Could this innovative approach redefine sustainable energy and revitalize our seas and oceans?

Wind turbines are not without their hazards, as demonstrated by the recent fire at the Clements Gap wind farm in South Australia. This incident has brought to light the various factors that can lead to wind turbine fires, sparking discussions on how to mitigate these risks to ensure safer wind turbine operations.
