Aroostook County sits at the northern tip of Maine, blessed with some of the strongest onshore winds in New England and vast tracts of open land. For…
The deck is stacked like a shipping yard that learned to float. Five nacelles in a row, blades racked alongside, tower sections cradled and strapped. That…
Over a million Sandhill Cranes converge on Nebraska each spring — and a new ruling just protected their migration route Every spring, more than a million…
A crane on a floating hull is a bad way to place something precise. The deck rolls a foot and the hook, hundreds of feet up,…

The house sits below the ridge, and from the back garden three of the six machines are directly in line. The couple inside moved from room…
GE Vernova has been selected by Quinbrook as the technology partner for Stage 3 of the Supernode Battery Energy Storage System in Queensland, Australia. The contract…
Nothing was blowing across northern Oklahoma that morning. There was no storm on the radar and no advisory out, and the air over the county was…
Stand where two county roads cross in eastern Colorado and there is very little to look at. Behind the fence sit two nearly finished wind farms rated at…
Gulls are taking advantage of France’s offshore floating turbine during the day and night. Offshore wind energy has evolved from nearshore installations to deep-sea power generators.…
A loaded deck is not a neutral thing. Stack a working ship with cargo and you have not simply added weight, you have changed the shape the wind…
Wind turbines in Texas demonstrated the reliability of smart night-vision wildlife monitoring. Wind power installations are growing larger worldwide to produce higher outputs for rising energy…
The United States is fully committed to diversifying its energy portfolio and ensuring that there is a variety of clean energy sources providing electricity in every…
GE Vernova and South Korea’s LS Electric have signed an agreement to establish a joint venture targeting the VSC-HVDC market—a technology identified as a core component…
At CIGRE Paris 2026, GE Vernova announced the launch of its F35g 170 kV SF₆-free gas-insulated switchgear—the product that completes the company’s full SF₆-free GIS range…
Routine maintenance of offshore floating wind turbines in Scotland has been found to impact surrounding wildlife. Nations worldwide are pushing offshore infrastructure into deeper waters to…
The road runs along a ridge on the east coast, past a closed park, carrying almost nobody. Across it now lies a steel tube 262 feet…
New Mexico’s wind farms threatened millions of birds — until conservationists rerouted river crossings and added wire diverters The largest renewable energy infrastructure project in U.S.…
Floating wind turbines in the Pacific are getting their own “nervous systems” to improve monitoring over the deep ocean. Offshore clean power generation is rising across…
The optical head turns on its mount, stops, and turns again. Its housing is furred white with salt after months bolted to a deck a hundred…
The Mediterranean Sea holds some of Europe’s least-tapped offshore wind resources, yet its surrounding energy grids face mounting congestion. As power curtailment grows and new transmission…
Three blades came down off an Iowa turbine and did not go to a field. Each of them was longer than a bowling lane by a…
Researchers found the best strategy to mitigate bat mortality based on an Ohio wind farm study. The United States’ clean energy needs have significantly changed since…
Most of the world’s strongest offshore winds blow over water too deep for conventional turbines to reach. Beyond roughly 200 feet of depth, the steel foundations…
Every autumn night across central Germany, something climbs a wind tower that was never designed to receive it. A bat, singing. Then another, and another, circling…
Statkraft just announced it’s putting roughly $49 million (NOK 460 million) into a full control system overhaul at the three power plants that make up the…
