MET Group Completes Innovative Agri-PV Project in Italy
MET Group has completed construction of a 5 MW agrivoltaic (agri-PV) project in Bari, southern Italy, integrating solar energy generation with agricultural use. The installation combines advanced bifacial photovoltaic panels with optimized spacing to allow simultaneous crop cultivation and energy production. This project forms part of MET’s strategy to expand sustainable energy assets across Europe and support Italy’s renewable targets. The investment enhances local economic development while demonstrating innovation in dual land-use technology. Customers and communities benefit from clean, affordable electricity and sustainable farming opportunities. The agri-PV model exemplifies MET Group’s focus on innovation, environmental stewardship, and customer-centric energy solutions, contributing to a low-carbon, resource-efficient future.
Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm Receives First XXL Monopiles at Leith
The Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm project has received its first XXL monopiles at the Port of Leith, marking a major construction milestone for the 1.1 GW development off the coast of Scotland. Supplied by China’s CCCC Tianjin Wenchong Heavy Industries (CWHI), these massive foundations will support SWT-7.0-154 turbines. The project, led by Red Rock Power and ESB, represents a major investment in UK offshore wind infrastructure, capable of powering over 1 million homes. The delivery showcases logistical innovation in handling and assembly of ultra-large components. Once operational, Inch Cape will enhance energy security, create local jobs, and contribute to the UK’s net-zero and renewable capacity goals, strengthening the country’s offshore wind leadership.
CDWE Completes Jacket Installation at Taipower 2 Offshore Wind Farm
CDWE (CSBC-DEME Wind Engineering) has completed the jacket foundation installation for the Taipower Offshore Wind Farm Phase 2 (110 MW) project off the west coast of Taiwan. This milestone marks a key step toward full commissioning and reflects CDWE’s strategic role in Taiwan’s growing offshore wind sector. The project utilizes advanced marine engineering technology and local supply-chain collaboration to enhance operational efficiency and safety. It demonstrates strong innovation in offshore construction and supports Taiwan’s energy transition and localization goals. Once operational, the wind farm will supply clean power to over 100,000 households, contributing to carbon reduction, energy security, and sustainable economic development. The achievement underscores CDWE’s leadership in regional offshore infrastructure delivery.
