Offshore wind
GE Vernova and Vineyard Wind provided an update on the implementation of their plan to safely remove the remainder of the damaged blade on turbine AW-38, remove any remaining debris, complete environmental studies, implement actions for blade readiness for service, and, ultimately, resume turbine installation and operations.
By the end of 2025, a floating wind turbine will supply power to the operator’s Culzean platform in the Central North Sea.
The environmental analysis found no significant effects from issuing leases.

This paper assesses the opportunity for an integrated and circular approach to developing the offshore energy sector for the energy transition. It evaluates how offshore wind, green hydrogen production, and heritage oil and gas expertise can be brought together to benefit all sectors to support a viable green hydrogen and wind economy.
