Features
Windpower Monthly takes an in-depth look at the issues and topics driving the industry, along with interviews with senior wind professionals.
General features
Can the OEMs find their way back to financial health?
Renewables are seeing big investments, yet turbine makers are slipping further into the red, forcing them to close factories and cut investment. How did we get to this point, and what can OEMs do to return to financial health?
Does hydrogen hold the key to a green future?
It’s easy to assume it will play a pivotal role in the energy transition. But can we afford to divert up to 500TWh of renewable power to it in Europe alone when wind capacity is not being deployed fast enough to meet existing targets?
Analysis: Italy looks to offshore wind for growth
Italy is getting serious about expanding capacity in Italian waters, with floating technology featuring heavily in developers' plans. But there is work to do to create the right framework for tenders and avoid permitting delays.
Paying for net zero: a matter of perspective
The global energy crisis has thrown the cost of achieving net zero into the spotlight, but will it really be as expensive as some suggest? And, even if it were, the bill for back-tracking on global ambitions could be significantly higher.
The make or break point for offshore wind
Offshore grid investment and interconnection innovation are crucial for a successful global transition to net zero and energy security — so what needs to be done?
Wind power buildout versus biodiversity – a question of priorities?
As the industry strives to deliver the rapid build-out of wind, developers are working to ensure the fight against climate change does not come at the expense of biodiversity
How easy is it to hack a wind turbine?
From data theft to satellites used for remote monitoring, recent cyber attacks have made global headlines
Analysis: How to build out wind fast at a good price for all
Amid increasing urgency for a massive rollout of low-cost wind, are competitive tenders for CfDs still the gold standard?
Why repowering is key to wind power industry’s growth
With many of the best wind sites occupied by some of the oldest projects, repowering has huge potential in mature markets
